Here are PICKS4PLAYERS BEST BETS for NFL week 4.
Tennessee @ Jacksonville , 1pm est
Current Line: Tennessee -3
The 0-3 Tennessee Titans are desperate as they travel to Jacksonville and try to right their ship, but they will have to do it without starting CB Cortland Finnegan. This is a Tennessee defense that has struggled against the pass all season, so far giving up over 275 yards a game through the air. Jacksonville is a home underdog that must be taken seriously and we like them here, getting a field goal.
Our Pick: Jacksonville +3
Cincinnati @ Cleveland , 1pm est
Current Line: Cincinnati -5
Cleveland is changing QB’s, going with Mr. Turnover, Derek Anderson. That’s the least of their problems. The organization is in shambles. The Jets, the Patriots, Bill Belichik, and many others around the league continue to laugh out loud at the Browns’ and their coaching ‘search’ and hiring ‘process’ that landed Eric Mangini the gig as Browns’ head coach. Nothing screams ‘I’m a putz’ more than Mangini himself walking the sidelines acting like he’s in charge and in control while the rest of us know that nobody in that locker room respects their pudgy tool of a leader. He hasn’t earned the nickname Mangina for nothing. Strictly speaking football, Cincy’s defense is very underrated and should force a few turnovers, giving Carson Palmer & co. some short fields. We think Cincy wins going away and look for an enormous chorus of booooooooooos to rain down on the Browns from the booooooooooooooooooooooozed up Dawg Pound.
Our Pick: Cincinnati -5
Baltimore @ New England, 1pm est
Current Line: New England -1 ½
Other than the Monday night game, this is probably the marquee game of the week. New England comes into this one with both banged up offensive and defensive lines. At this time of year though, who isn’t a little banged up? We’re all a little banged up. Baltimore has the best run defense and one of the top running attacks through 3 weeks. Better run D and better run game…time for Baltimore to make a statement. New England is hard to figure. They were extremely fortunate to pull out their opener against Buffalo. The Jets beat them soundly in week 2 and their win last week against the Falcons was solid, but less than impressive. One thing is for certain about the Patriots, they are not the dominant team that they were for the first 2/3 of the 2007 season. That ship sailed long ago and in the final analysis, the Patriots legacy during their first 50 years as a franchise is 43 years of being one of the laughing-stocks of football and seven seasons of documented cheating. Happy anniversary. We’ll take the Ravens.
Our Pick: Baltimore ON THE MONEY LINE at +105
NY Jets @ New Orleans, 4:05pm est
Current Line: New Orleans -7
The Jets will be without both starting CB’s which must have New Orleans QB, Drew Brees, licking his chops. Brees and his quick release along with Sean Payton’s maniacal offensive mind should capitalize early and often against the blitzing J.E.T.S. JETS, JETS, JETS. No doubt Mark Sanchez has been very good in the early going but he has never played in a place like the Superdome. Expect the ‘Dirty Sanchise’ to receive a rude welcome to the dirty South. This one will be an easy double-digit win for New Orleans.
Our Pick: New Orleans -7
Dallas @ Denver, 4:15pm est
Current Line: Dallas -3
Dallas is very thin at RB but Marion Barber might play and if he does then Dallas will finally expose the Broncos for what they really are….the worst 3-0 team in football. Tashard Choice will get the bulk of the carries, Barber will be used in spots, Romo will have a solid day. The Dallas’ defense should pressure Denver QB Kyle Orton all day and should force some bad throws and short fields for Tony Romo. We may even see a pick 6 for the Cowboys. Welcome back to Earth Josh McDaniels.
Our Pick: Dallas -3
OVER/UNDER Selections
NY Giants-KC Chiefs…We like UNDER 42. Giants are a great road team and we doubt KC will score 10 points. Brandon Jacobs, Brandon Jacobs, Ahmad Bradshaw. Rinse and repeat. The G-Men will get physical today.
Washington-Tampa Bay…We like UNDER 37. Both these offenses have been bad. Clinton Portis might not play for Washington and Tampa’s QB situation is a mess. Welcome to being a Head Coach in the league Raheem Morris.
Have a great Sunday. Enjoy the action. Play wise and play smart Player!!!
