The Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans are two of the four teams in the AFC South that enter Week 6 at 3-2. One of these two squads will be at least tied for, if not alone in the gutter at 3-3 when this one is over, while the winner will be a game up on at least the loser. Check out what we’ve got in store for Monday Night Football free prop picks!

Chris Johnson Over/Under 113.5 Yards
So far this season, when Johnson reaches the 100 yard barrier, the Titans have gone 3-0 both SU and ATS. When he hasn’t gotten there, they are 0-2 SU and ATS. This is man on a mission on a regular basis, and it’s awfully difficult to stop him when he gets 25 carries in a game like he normally does. The Jacksonville defense does rank No. 13 against the rush at 102.9 yards per game, but they really haven’t had a game quite yet against a team like this, as all five of the teams that it has faced this year have most certainly been pass first offenses. Needless to say, we’ll take our chances that Tennessee’s game plan hasn’t suddenly changed. Go with Johnson Over 113.5 rushing yards (-115 at Hollywood Sportsbook) on Monday Night Football.

Nate Washington Over/Under 40.5 Receiving Yards
We’ll start by saying this much: Washington most certainly has the capability of picking this up in just one play, so this prop is never going to be out of the question. Now, we’ll add into the equation the fact that Jacksonville ranks No. 29 of the 32 teams in the NFL, and save DB Rashean Mathis, there really isn’t a man in this secondary that we are afraid of. Washington might just need to get loose 1-2 times to be able to cash this prop. This is the favorite target of QB Vince Young, and as long as you remain patient and know that those 2-3 receptions are coming over the course of this game, you’ll be fine. Our NFL picks here? Go with Washington Over 40.5 receiving yards (-115 at Hollywood Sportsbook).

Longest Field Goal Over/Under 45.5 Yards
We’ve got two of the best field goal kickers in the game in this one, and neither HC Jack Del Rio nor HC Jeff Fisher is afraid to let him kicker boot one from 55 yards away. Heck, K Josh Scobee just booted the Jags to a win over the Indianapolis Colts with a 59 yard bomb as time expired! K Rob Bironas might have the best leg in the league as well, and he is quite often used as a weapon. Fisher knows that he can count on his kicker to pick up three points on virtually any drive that reaches the 30 yard line, and the offense won’t be afraid to get aggressive and go for TDs, knowing that those three points are virtually always in their back pockets. No doubt, one of these kickers will get a blast from at least 46 yards in this game. We’ll bet that they’ll nail it significantly more often than not as well. Go with there to be a field goal Over 45.5 Yards (+100 at Hollywood Sportsbook).

Will Marcedes Lewis Score a Touchdown?
We just need to remember one thing about this prop. This isn’t an NFL pick that needs to come through even half the time to become profitable. In fact, just 40% would more than do. If that’s the case, Lewis would need to score a TD in five of his final 11 games to make this prop worthwhile. We love the fact that the big tight end out of UCLA is making a name for himself in the red zone, as he is becoming the favorite target of QB David Garrard down there. If RB Maurice Jones-Drew is having problems getting through this defensive line, particularly in short yardage situations, the play action rollout has become a real weapon, and quite often, it is Lewis on the other side. This is a very aggressive Tennessee defense, and we tend to think that at least 40% of the time, Lewis is going to find himself in at least one position in the game in which he is wide open in the end zone. Don’t be afraid to go with Lewis to Score a Touchdown (+160 at Hollywood Sportsbook).

The Washington Redskins and Indianapolis Colts are getting set to lock horns on Sunday for a crucial tilt between a pair of 3-2 teams. Check out our NFL picks for the top props in this game that surely should not be missed!

Total Sacks by Both Teams Over/Under 3.5
The offensive line for the Colts this year has looked anything but flawless in spite of the fact that they have only given up five sacks on the season. The biggest problem that this team had was when DE Mario Williams was coming off of QB Peyton Manning’s weak side. Though this is a 3-4 scheme that the Redskins are running and not a 4-3, LB Brian Orakpo will be able to do the same sort of thing. We already know how strong the Indy pass rush has the ability of being, but the real difference might be the struggles of the Washington offensive line. QB Donovan McNabb has already been sacked 11 times this year, and we tend to think that that number is on the rise. There should be plenty of throwing the ball in this game, and if that’s the case, there will almost certainly be Over 3.5 sacks (+125 at Hollywood Sportsbook) on Sunday Night Football.

Peyton Manning Over/Under 288.5 Passing Yards
Asking Manning to throw for at least 290 yards seems like a bit of a stretch, especially for a man that just had a relatively miserable game against the Kansas City Chiefs last week. However, we must remember that the short passing game was the only thing that was working for the Philadelphia Eagles against this Washington secondary two weeks ago, and Manning is significantly better than QB Kevin Kolb. We also remember how QB Matt Schaub and the Houston Texans dropped a whole boatload of yards on this defense, over 400 of them to be more exact. It seems as though Manning, without any trust in his rushing game, will coordinate himself to be able to end up going Over 288.5 passing yards (-115 at Hollywood Sportsbook).

Ryan Torain Over/Under 70.5 Rushing Yards
This is really the only hope that the Redskins have of winning this game. This will act as a bit of a hedge bet as well, as Torain is likely to end up going past this number if Manning doesn’t go past his. There just aren’t any other backs of QB Donovan McNabb to turn around and hand the ball to. Torain hasn’t really proven that he is a solid runner yet, but you know that the Colts are going to probably struggle to stop him if he gets going. The former Arizona State Sun Devil can rumble the ball a ton of times in this game, and we fully expect him to do so. Getting 20+ carries isn’t out of the question for as long as the duel stays close. We aren’t so sure, but it seems logical for a team that is allowing over 100 yards per game on the ground that Torain goes Over 70.5 Yards (-115 at Hollywood Sportsbook) in this battle against the Colts.

Complete List of NFL Week 6 Lines Can Be Found Below

Week 6 of the 2010 NFL campaign is going to get underway this weekend. Below you will find the current list of 2010 Week 6 NFL lines and spreads along with a breakdown of the Week six odds. Be sure to check out the free NFL picks from the expert handicappers at Bankroll Sports this weekend…

Making NFL picks this weekend is going to be awfully difficult for even the best of NFL fans this week, as there are a number of injuries to talk about and close call matchups that could go either way. As of Monday morning, there are only eight games that are on the board with a ton of other NFL spreads to still be released over the course of the week. As always, keep it tuned right here to Bankroll Sports for updated NFL week 6 lines and other odds throughout the weekend.

The notable news for Week 6 is that QB Ben Roethlisberger is back for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Big Ben spent the first four games of the season on the shelf due to a suspension for violating the league’s personal conduct policy. Roethlisberger will have a relatively easy opponent to take on in Week 6, but the Cleveland Browns have proven to be a stingy team this year. Cleveland was originally getting 12 points in this game, which was hefty in spite of the fact that the Pittsburgh offense has really yet to prove that it has the ability to score that many points this year, but news really got worse over the course of the week for the Browns. QB Colt McCoy is going to be getting his first career start against one of the most vaunted defenses in the league, as both QB Seneca Wallace and QB Jake Delhomme are out. The Steelers are now laying 14 points in a very popular NFL pick for the week.

In what suddenly looks like it could be a very interesting clash in the NFC South, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will take on the New Orleans Saints. The visitors are going to be favored in this game, but not by nearly as many points as one probably would have thought at the outset of the season. New Orleans has only played two road games this year and has failed to cover both of them. The Saints are coming off of a bad loss to the Arizona Cardinals, while the Bucs shocked the Cincinnati Bengals with a last second field goal at Paul Brown Stadium to move to 3-1. The winner of this game will be sitting near the top of the NFC South, depending on how the Atlanta Falcons do against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Saints are down to -4 after opening at -5 in this clash.

The game of the afternoon on Sunday is going to be at Gillette Stadium, where the New England Patriots, fresh off of their bye week, are going to take on the Baltimore Ravens. Both of these teams have looked good in recent weeks, as they each only have one loss to their names thus far on the season. These two met up at this venue in the postseason last year, with the Ravens bouncing New England out of the playoffs. QB Tom Brady no longer has WR Randy Moss to throw the ball to, as he was traded to the Minnesota Vikings during the bye. However, the oddsmakers still think that the Pats are the choice in this game, as pro football picks will have to be made against a 2.5 point spread.

On Sunday Night Football, the Washington Redskins, off of their overtime victory over the Green Bay Packers, will look to claim another scalp on the season when the Indianapolis Colts come to FedEx Field. Indy certainly hasn’t played well of late in spite of the fact that it is sitting in the middle of this dog pile at 3-2 in the AFC South. These teams might have identical records, but the men making the NFL lines aren’t so sure that they are really on a level playing field. The Colts are favored by three points on the road.

Monday Night Football will feature two more teams from that wacky AFC South, as the Tennessee Titans are three point favorites over the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Sunshine State. Both teams are off of road victories that helped push them above the .500 mark for the season to date.
