We have some fun—albeit eye-popping—trends in the NFL heading into Week 6. Good teams with winning records straight-up (SU) also have winning records Against The Spread (ATS), but a handful of bad teams with losing SU records are covering.
The Cardinals remain the only unbeaten team. They are 4-1 ATS, as are the Bills, Cowboys, Packers and Chargers. While the Lions and Jaguars are the only two teams without a win, the Lions actually are 3-2 ATS. Then, there’s that next batch of poor performers with just one win on the year: Dolphins, Giants, Jets, Texans and Colts.
