Week 4 Predictions
Packers -7 over Bears, 27-16
-Bears had a great win last week, but it took a huge effort and
a lot of circumstances. Packers thrive on this matchup and need the divisional
win. However, do I have both Jordan Howard and Tarik Cohen going this week in
fantasy? Yes, yes I do.
Saints -3 over Fins, 24-20
-Fins may not be good. Saints scrapping for their lives. Willie
Snead return game!
Falcons -8 over Bills, 30-16
-Bills’ defense is their strong point, but this is a Atlanta we
are talking about on offense. Easy two TD win. If McCoy doesn’t get anything
going here, I’d start to worry on that topic.
Ravens +3.5 over Steelers, 21-20
-Steelers don’t look right, and the Ravens can’t be as back as
they were last week. Just taking the points for a close one.
Bengals -3 over Browns, 20-13
-Browns has kept games tight, but the Bengals came alive last
week and probably complete this game to get on the board.
Rams +6 over Cowboys, 17-16
-Cowboys still look vulnerable to me, and Rams are there and
ready. I am going to continue my faith in the Rams at least one more week. Rams
better cleanup that long ball defense though.
Titans -1.5 over Texans, 26-20
-Texans are pretty decent, but the Titans are rounding into the
team I thought they would be. Murray was the only real question mark, and his
big game makes me think this Titans squad should be a juggernaut.
Lions +1.5 over Viks, 28-20
-I am holding faith with my evaluation of the Lions being good.
I also evaluate Case Keenum has only so many competent games in him, so thus
the pick. That was a tough one for the Lions to drop last week, but they will
start to win divisional games and be just fine.
Pats -9 over Panthers, 38-17
-The rematch of that really underrated 2013 game, I think this
one goes the other way. The Panthers defense is good, but won’t create pressure
like the Texans did. And the Panthers offense is not good right now. Benjamin
is banged up, Olsen is out, and Cam is not right. Are we looking at Dolphins
era Dante Culpepper?
Jags -3 over Jets, 20-12
-There’s your one win Jets. Jags should grind and pound this
out.
Cards -6.5 over 49ers, 24-10
-Good game Niners, but the Cards should take care of business
here easily.
Eagles +1 over Chargers, 24-21
-I almost feel bad for the Chargers for this 3 point loss.
Giants +3.5 over Bucs, 21-20
-Why am I feeling Jameis throwing it to the other team a lot
here? Oh right, because that is totally likely to happen.
Raiders +3 over Broncos, 23-22
-I’ll take the points in a close game, and hold the faith in
Carr.
Seahawks -13 over Colts, 24-10
-The Colts have been game all year, and Seattle is weak in
several places. However, this has all the marks of the game where Seattle’s
defense shuts things down.
Ethnic Slurs +7.5 over Chiefs, 20-24
-The rare time I am taking the slurs, mainly because this is too
many points against a team that has had a major weakness in the secondary. I
don’t know what to make of Washington yet, but I am taking that win over
Oakland seriously. Chiefs win, but I’ll take the cover.
