2016 NFL Point Spread Picks - Week 6
Pick 1: Los Angeles +3.5 
Pick 2: Houston -3 PUSH
Pick 3: Denver -3.5
Pick 4: Buffalo -7
Tough first pick given the Rams are last in offense and with lots of injuries on the defensive end. Given the spread is now over 3, this might be ok. The Colts beat the Bears last week, big deal. Houston defense will show up and tear them apart. When the Denver offense shows up (& w Trevor they might), there's no stopping them. The Chargers are making huge mistakes and the Broncos should take advantage and blowout this game. Finally, if Buffalo feeds McCoy and open the lanes for him they'll run all over the 49ers. Oh and is Kapernick starting for SF? If so then even better. Wait for 7 in case the spread creeps up or buy the half point if you can't get it at 7.
Again going with 15% of bankroll, each game gets a $375 bet. Happy gambling!

Comments
With some self-concern, I have to report that fiftytwopointfour only agrees with your Bills pick this week, otherwise we have the opposite teams. :/
After going 3-1 last week in our top picks (https://fiftytwopointfour.wordpress.com/2016/10/11/results-week-5-nfl-picks-against-the-point-spread-2/) we are hopeful for a strong season. Our top picks for week 6 are:
Saints (+3)
Chargers (+3)
Cardinals (-7.5)
Lions (-3)
Titans (-7)
Good luck, everyone!
Confidence percentage is calculated based on the scenario which is defined by the spread and where the prediction fell in comparison to the spread. Back tracking that years gives us these percentages.
