NFL Betting Tips: Seahawks looking like favourites while Bears to stomp in London
We are back once again, and ready for another week of NFL action - and with four Sky Sports games this week, UK-based fans are in for a treat.
The Buffalo Bills and New York Jets are set to go toe-to-toe to claim the top spot in the AFC East.
Meanwhile in London, the Jacksonville Jaguars and Chicago Bears will battle it out at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as part of NFL London 2024.
Sports News Blitz’s NFL tipster Sam Condy has once again scoured the SkyBet markets, picking out some of the top picks ahead of gameweek six.
San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks
The Seattle Seahawks started the season on a roll, though have now dropped their last two games and will be looking to claw their way back to winning form against the San Francisco 49ers.
Seattle have enjoyed a positive defensive record, allowing just a 32% conversion rate on third downs. This could play into their hands on Friday.
Expect a game where both QBs are happy to put the ball in the air and go long, though with the Seahawks at home, the 49ers will be lucky to come away with anything in Washington.
Suggested Bet: Seattle Seahawks to Win & 45+ Match Pts @ 5/2
Jacksonville Jaguars at Chicago Bears
NFL London is back in the capital, with the Jacksonville Jaguars taking on the Chicago Bears at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday.
It's been a long time waiting, but last week Jaguar’s QB Trevor Lawrence finally exploded off the starting blocks.
Lawrence threw for 371 yards with an 82.4% completion rate and two touchdowns, guiding his side to a hard-fought win over the Indianapolis Colts.
If Lawrence is now hitting a run of form, the Bears could be in for a tough evening trying to contain the 25-year-old.
However, it is still the Jaguars’ only win of the season, while the Bears are boasting a winning record.
With Caleb Williams at the helm, the Chicago side appear to be hitting their stride on offense.
Coming up against the worst passing defense in the league, it’s hard to see this game going any other way than in favour of the Bears.
Suggested Bet: Chicago Bears (-7.5) @ 5/2

Cincinnati Bengals at New York Giants
With just one win this season, the Cincinnati Bengals are in dire need of a win, to start clawing back positions in the AFC North.
I feel like every week the Bengals have had a Sky Sports spot, I have hedged my bets with them.
It’s yet to come through, but this week I think the tide could turn in their favour.
The New York outfit will certainly put up a fight, but statistically, they are in a rut, averaging only 17.3 offensive points per game while conceding 20.3.
Suggested Bet: Cincinnati Bengals (-3.5) @ 10/11
Buffalo Bills at New York Jets
A battle for first place in the AFC East is ready to kick off on Tuesday.
The New York Jets have struggled to find their rhythm this year while Aaron Rodgers has also been less-than-impressive through the opening five gameweeks, though the outfit did appear to pick up the pace in the second half last week.
The Buffalo Bills started the season on fire, winning their opening three and looking like the team to beat.
They have well and truly cooled off now, though, with back-to-back losses and a running-back defense that leaves a lot to be desired.
The Jets will likely capitalise on the defensive gaps in the Bills line-up, and leave with a razor-thin win in what looks to be a heated exchange.
Suggested Bet: New York Jets (+2.5) @ 5/6
