2024 NFL Week 6 action report: ‘Bettors really homing in on this Lions team’

When the NFL season began in early September, there was likely no one pointing to Washington Commanders vs. Baltimore Ravens as a pivotal game.

Now, it’s arguably the most intriguing matchup in the NFL Week 6 odds. 

Washington looks great behind rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, while Lamar Jackson and Baltimore appear back on track after losing their first two games.

“It was not on my Bingo card that Ravens-Commanders would be the game to watch this week. But here we are,” Caesars sports head of football trading Joey Feazel said.

Oddsmakers and sharp bettors serve up their insights on a handful of games, as we dive into NFL Week 6 betting nuggets.

Beltway Battle

Washington lost its season opener at Tampa Bay, but is now 4-1 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS). Daniels and the Commanders hope to stretch their winning streak to five games at Baltimore.

Meanwhile, the Ravens opened the season 0-2 SU and ATS, but won their last three to stand 3-2 SU and ATS. Baltimore was -7 vs. Washington on last week’s lookahead line at Caesars, but has been at -6.5 since Sunday night.

“I think this is definitely the Game of the Week,” Feazel said. “We’ve seen some of that Jayden Daniels money come in, so we’re at 6.5. It’s Commanders spread money coupled with the moneyline.”

Feazel noted the move from Ravens -7 to -6.5 was in part due to sharp money on Commanders +7. And the moneyline of Washington +235 is attractive to the public betting masses. A $100 bet would profit $235 (total payout $335) if the surging Commanders win outright in Sunday’s 1 p.m. ET kickoff.
