NFL Week 6 Takeaways and Monday Night Football Best Bets
2026/10/19
NFL Week 6 takeaways from the numbers. Atlanta had the best run game in the week on a per carry basis and called 12 rushes, the fewest in the week, while Michael Penix got blitzed and sacked at the second worst rates of any quarterback. The Cowboys slipped, literally, and ran the worst early down run game of any first half in the week. 2026 is the second most penalized start to a season since 2000 and delay of game flags are at an all time high. The Steelers went from first and goal with 1:38 left to fourth and goal with 1:23 left and needed overtime to beat Tampa Bay. The Giants collapsed against the Saints, and Jalen Hurts' London numbers fell off a cliff after halftime on 36 hours without sleep, before the news that he is out for the season. Plus a best bet for Monday Night Football with Curtis.

(37-13, 74% Lifetime) NFL Week 2 Best Bets & Player Props 2026
2026/09/17
NFL Week 2 best bets, player props and referee picks, plus the biggest college football game of the weekend. Warren Sharp is 37-13 (74%) lifetime on podcast best bets, and this is the full Week 2 card: his best bet of the week, three props from Rich Hribar, Ryan McCrystal on LSU at Ole Miss and Joe Gibbs on the Week 2 referees.
It starts with three things from Week 1 that change how you bet Week 2. Houston's revamped offense and what it does to opponent play volume against the Bengals. Tampa's blitz rate against a Cleveland offense that cannot get the ball out. And the Eagles, a league low on first down and a win anyway, now on the road in Tennessee.
Two weeks free: code SHOW35 on the NFL Plus monthly package gets you a full month of Warren's NFL recommendations plus Rich Hribar's breakdown of every game for the price of two weeks. https://sharp.football
Games covered: LSU at Ole Miss, Bengals at Texans, Jaguars at Broncos, Saints at Ravens, Browns at Buccaneers and Giants at Rams on Monday Night Football.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
How Houston's offense changed its intent in Week 1 and why opponent play volume is the number to watch
Why Tampa's blitz rate against a slow time to throw is the mismatch of the week
Why the Eagles offense is a problem even in a win, and what the first down and play action numbers say
Ryan McCrystal on LSU at Ole Miss, the doubtful quarterback, and why the line has barely moved
Rich Hribar's three Week 2 props and the numbers behind each one, including where he ladders
The referee trends behind Joe Gibbs' three picks, including the best home field referee in the league
Warren's Week 2 best bet and a scheduling angle that has only happened four times since 1990
