The Falcons are undefeated against the spread. The Eagles are undefeated straight up. Wild times entering Week 6! Let's look at the slate with the betting trends, stats and notes you need to know.

Welcome to Week 6 of the Action Network's NFL betting primer.

1. The Streak Is Over.

After 41 home starts, Patrick Mahomes is a home underdog for the first time in his NFL career — the longest streak of being a home favorite to begin a career.

Overall, Mahomes is 7-0-1 against the spread as an underdog.

2. Five For Fighting.

The Atlanta Falcons are 5-0 against the spread for the first time in franchise history.

Since 1980, there have been 25 teams to start a season 5-0 ATS. The Falcons are the first 5-0 ATS team to be under .500 straight up in the past 40 years.

3. Steel City.

The Pittsburgh Steelers haven't quite seen a year like this in a while. If the Steelers close as high as a 9.5-point home underdog vs. the Buccaneers, it will be their biggest spot as a home dog in the past 40 years.

The Steelers as home dogs over the past 20 years: 15-9 SU, 17-4-3 ATS
Mike Tomlin as a home underdog: 13-8 SU, 15-3-3 ATS

Steelers biggest home underdog spots in past 50 years:

+10, 2022 vs. Bucs
+9, 1989 vs. Vikings (W, 27-14)
+7.5, 2016 vs. Patriots (L, 27-16)
+7.5, 1991 vs. Oilers (W, 26-14)

4. You're Fired!

Over the past 20 years, 32 teams have fired their coach in-season. Those teams have gone 15-17 straight up and 17-15 against the spread in their next game.

A 48% straight-up win rate might not look great, but those teams had an 87-231-2 straight up record (27.4%) prior to the head coaching change. They also compiled a 118-196-5 ATS record (37.6%) prior to the coaching change.

Great information from Stuckey.

5. No Rest for the Weary.

The Packers will play the Jets and the Giants will play the Ravens –both without a bye week in between — after Green Bay and New York played in London last week.

Only seven times in NFL history has a team returned home from Europe without a bye week. Every one of those teams was tied or trailing in the fourth quarter the following week, with the opponent team totals going 6-1 to the over.

Great information from Brandon Anderson.

6. We're Going Streaking…

The under has cashed in 10 consecutive Bengals and Colts games entering this week. If either team goes under the total in their games this week, some history is on the line.

Here are the longest over or under streaks for NFL teams over the past 20 years. The longest streak belongs to the 2010-11 Dallas Cowboys, whose games went over the total in 12 straight contests.

Longest Over or Under Streaks – Past 20 Years

12 Overs — 2010-11 Dallas Cowboys
11 Unders — 2008-09 Washington, 2003-04 Bills
11 Overs — 2007-08 Jaguars, 2005-06 Jets
10 Unders — 2021-22 Bengals, 2021-22 Colts, 2018-19 Broncos, 2015-16 Falcons, 2011-12 Dolphins

Low, Low, Low…

+ The under is 35-26-1 (57.4%) on Thursday Night Football over the past 20 years when the over/under is below 42.
+ The under is now 16-5 (76%) in the last 21 games on Thursday Night Football.
+ Unders at night are 11-5 so far this season. Going back even further, unders at night are 105-74-3 (58.7%) since 2019.

And in this sweet spot range with a total from 37 to 40, Thursday night unders are a ridiculous 18–4–1 (82%) and go under by 9.7 points per game.

Lost In The Fields…

+ The Bears are 19-35-1 ATS since 2019 and are the least profitable team ATS in the NFL.
+ Fields is 0-4 SU, 1-3 ATS at night. With an ATS loss, he would be the least profitable Bears QB ATS in primetime over the past 20 years.
+ Fields is 0-4 SU at night. No other Bears QB over the past 20 years has more than three losses without a win at night.

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly…

+ Carson Wentz is 16-8 SU/ATS at night. He’s the most profitable QB ATS at night in the NFL over the past decade (+$695).
+ Wentz is 6-0 in his career on TNF- most wins without a loss by any starting QB on Thursday Night Football in the Super Bowl era.
+ In the past decade, the Commanders are 8-20-1 ATS at night, the least profitable team at night in the NFL.
+ In those 29 night games, Washington is 3-11 SU, 3-10-1 ATS on the road.

Giving It Away.Road QBs have thrown an interception in 12 of 16 night games this season.

Back & Forth. Commanders were 1.5-point favorites on the lookahead line. If the Bears close as favorites, it will already be the 3rd night game this year to have a team open as an underdog and close as a favorite — those teams went 0-2 SU/ATS. Over the past 20 years, those teams are 18-32 ATS.

Starting Slow. The Bears are 0-5 against the first-half spread this season (T-worst with Cardinals/Colts).

Nobody Circles The Wagons. The Steelers lost to the Bills last week. Teams after playing Buffalo are 14-23 ATS the following week since 2020, failing to cover 10 of the past 12 games in this spot.

Getting Trucked. Under Mike Tomlin, the Steelers are 11-3-1 ATS after allowing 35+ points in their previous game.

Patriots at Browns

Chalk Problems. Kevin Stefanski is 8-16 (33%) against the spread (ATS) as a favorite, losing three of the last five outright.

Since becoming head coach of the Browns in 2020, he's the least profitable coach as a favorite ATS.

The Over Pound. The Browns past three home games have gone over the total (3-0 to over in 2022). Four consecutive Browns home games haven’t gone over since all the way back in 2015.

The Belichick Fund…

+ Bill Belichick with the Patriots against his former team: 8-2 SU, 7-3 ATS vs. Browns.
+ Belichick always does a great job at neutralizing opponents who score and allow a lot of points. Teams that score and allow 24+ points are just 9-18 ATS vs. Belichick since 2003.

Jets at Packers

Lambeau Love. The most profitable QB at home as a TD favorite or higher over the past 20 years:

1. Tom Brady: 56-44-3 ATS
2. Aaron Rodgers: 35-24-2 ATS

Rodgers Loves Coming Home…

+ After playing on the road/neutral, Rodgers is 13-7 ATS at home since 2019 & 48-25-2 ATS in his career.
+ When Rodgers loses road/neutral, he is 30-16-1 ATS in his next game, including 8-0 ATS since 2019.
+ Rodgers off a loss in his NFL career: 46-19 SU, 42-22-1 ATS

Lack of a Running Game. The Packers rushed for just 94 yards in their loss to the Giants. Aaron Rodgers has won and covered his past nine games dating back to 2018 when Green Bay rushes for fewer than 100 yards in their previous game.

Bounce Back Time?

+ Matt LeFleur was 21-0 SU as a favorite of 6-points or more prior to Green Bay’s loss last week vs. Giants.
+ Rodgers & LeFleur off a loss: 10-1 SU/ATS (10-0 ATS in the regular season).
+ Green Bay has won and covered 12 straight games following a loss — the longest streak in the Super Bowl era of teams winning and covering following a loss.

Buyer Beware.Don’t blindly bet the bounceback. Teams to lose as a TD or more favorite, and that are listed as a TD or more favorite again are just 32-34-1 ATS over the past 20 years.

Trust The Jets? Underdogs are 62-38-3 ATS in games officiated by Clete Blakeman since 2016 (best in NFL).

What a Packers Loss Would Mean…

+ Teams to lose to the Jets and Giants in consecutive games over the past decade: 2019 MIA, 2016 BAL, 2014 TENN.
+ Teams to lose consecutive games as over a TD favorite over the past decade: 2021 IND, 2020 SF, 2017 KC, 2017 ATL, 2015 ATL, 2013 HOU.

+ Daniel Jones career: Home: 9-13 ATS | Road/Neutral: 14-6 ATS (#3 of 85 QBs)

Panthers at Rams

The Rhule Is Over. Over the past 20 years, 32 teams have fired their coach in-season. Those teams have gone 15-17 straight up and 17-15 against the spread in their next game.

A 48% straight-up win rate might not look great, but those teams had an 87-231-2 straight up record (27.4%) prior to the head coaching change. They also compiled a 118-196-5 ATS (37.6%) record prior to the coaching change.

Oh, Dear…

+ Panthers are 1-27 SU and 5-23 ATS when their opponent scores 17 pts or more since 2020.

Walk Right Down. PJ Walker makes his third career start this week against the Rams. He is 2-0 SU/ATS, winning both games as underdogs.

Leaving The Past…

• Since Baker Mayfield’s first start in 2018, he's ranked 104th of 105 QBs against the spread: 26-39-1 ATS.

Strength vs. Strength. The Eagles have a tough test ahead. 5-0 SU teams facing opponents 4-1 SU/ATS or better are 1-4-2 ATS over the past 20 years. The only cover in that span? The 2007 Patriots against the Cowboys.

+ 5-0 SU teams who face a defense allowing 17 PPG or less are 3-7 SU and 2-6-2 ATS over the past 20 years.

Easy Schedule? Jacksonville is the only team so far that the Eagles have faced that ranks above average in EPA per dropback.

Starting Strong. Eagles are 5-0 against first-half spread this season (t-best with 49ers)

Cover Machines. Since start of last season, the Cowboys (17-6 ATS) are the most profitable team against the spread.

Such A Rush. Over the past decade, the Cowboys backups have played 22 total games. They are 10-12 SU/ATS.

Cowboy backup QBs have won and covered eight of their past nine starts with Cooper Rush and Andy Dalton. Prior to that streak, they were 1-12 SU, 2-11 ATS since 2013.

The List. In the past 20 years, Cooper Rush (5-0 ATS) is currently the ONLY undefeated QB against the spread (minimum 4 starts).

• Cooper Rush, DAL
• Kyle Allen, CAR
• Ben Roethlisberger, PIT
• Kurt Warner, STL
• Patrick Mahomes, KC
