(The Spread) – Dallas, Houston, New Orleans and Buffalo all have huge road tests in Week 6 of the NFL.
The 4-1 Bills will have a huge road test on Sunday when they travel to New York to take on a Giants team that is no doubt angered by their performance against the Seahawks in Week 5. Oddsmakers have installed the G-Men as 3-point favorites but with the way the public has been riding the Bills don’t think for a second that spread won’t drop to 2.5 or lower before kickoff.
The bruised and battered Texans head to Baltimore to take on a physical Ravens team at 4:05PM ET on Sunday. Houston lost its best offensive player two weeks ago when Andre Johnson suffered a hamstring injury and will be without its best defender now that Mario Williams is out for the year with a pectoral injury. The Ravens have opened as 7-point home favorites over Matt Schaub and the Texans, while the over/under total is currently 45 points.
The Saints travel to Tampa to take on a Bucs team that was destroyed in San Francisco last Sunday. The Saints have opened as 4.5-point favorites over their division rivals, while the over/under total is currently sitting at 49.5 points. If New Orleans wins, it can take a two-game lead over Tampa Bay in the NFC South.
The 2-2 Cowboys travel to New England at 4:15PM ET on Sunday to take on a Patriots team that is 4-1 on the year. Tom Brady and the Pats have opened as 7-point favorites over Dallas, which will be coming off a bye. The over/under total for this game is currently sitting at 54 points.

The 5-0 Lions will host the equally surprising 4-1 49ers on Sunday in Detroit. Matthew Stafford and the Lions are listed as 5-point favorites at the Hilton, but don’t be surprised to see the spread drop throughout the week. The public is aware of how good San Francisco’s defense has been this year and maybe with Detroit coming off a short week, this is the Sunday the Lions finally fall.
From one surprising team to another, the Bills are 4-point road underdogs against a Giants team that shockingly lost to the Seahawks last Sunday at home. The Falcons are also 4-point favorites over the Panthers in Week 6 while the Packers are 14.5-point home favorites against the lowly Rams.

I dunno man. I will agree with you that the Dolphins do suck bad but Sanchez has looked scared the last couple of weeks. I'm not sure how comfortable I would be laying that much on a shaky QB even at home on Monday night.
