NFL Week 6 predictions: Picks against the spread for every game

While the Jets are heading into their Monday night game at MetLife Stadium with a new coach, the Giants could be in the early stages of a revival with their current one. It’s not just that Brian Daboll’s team pulled off a 29-20 upset last Sunday at Seattle as seven-point underdogs on the closing line, it’s how they did it — and with whom. The Giants entered at 1-3 and had scored six, 18, 21 and 15 points their first four games.Rookie Malik Nabers, who had led the team in receiving yards in each game, sat out with a concussion.

The Giants had a 37:22 to 22:38 advantage in time of possession and were charged with just two penalties. So now Cincinnati arrives at 1-4 for the Sunday night spotlight game.Joe Burrow is getting back in sync with...
