After a good week last time out, let's hope I continue the momentum. Here are my Week 4 predictions...
Head To Head Picks
- Jets (W) @ Bills
- Seahawks @ Rams (W)
- 49ers @ Falcons (W)
- Lions @ Packers (W)
- Bengals (W) @ Browns
- Broncos @ Titans (W)
- Panthers @ Saints (W)
- Ravens (W) @ Steelers
- Texans (W) @ Raiders
- Colts (W) @ Jaguars
- Redskins @ Eagles (W)
- Cardinals @ Chargers (W)
- Bears (W) @ Giants
- Patriots @ Dolphins (W)
Survivor Pick
So far, I've been correct each week. I've used the Titans, Packers and Ravens so they can't be chosen anymore. This week I'm taking the Saints to knock off the Panthers at home.
- Saints
Against The Spread Picks (The team with the bracketed line is who I like to cover the spread)
5U
- Jets (-4.5) @ Bills
Mark Sanchez has been great through the air the last two weeks. And, coupled with the rejuvenated L.T. and the running game, the Jets' offence is starting to roll. I know the Bills are going to get better as shown by last week's flourish, but I think they will get smothered in this match up. Jets to cover the spread away from home.
- Bears (+4) @ Giants
I truly believe in what the Bears (3-0) are doing right now. And I also truly believe in what the Giants (1-2) are doing right now. Rather than feel a letdown after last week's huge win over the Packers, I think the Bears will gain confidence from their last few wins and continue their surge in the NFC North. The Giants are struggling with discipline and cohesion and a 4 point start is too many to give to the Bears. I like them alot here in a tight one.
4U
- Patriots @ Dolphins (+1)
The Patriots have struggled in Miami recently going 4-5 in their last 9 games. And that's against some pretty average Miami teams with some pretty special Patriot teams. I really like the Dolphins here. The New England defense is terrible at the moment (33 points leaked at home against the Bills last week) and with Henne and Marshall starting to fire, the Dolphins have a well balanced offence to go along with their stiff D. The Patriots look inferior when compared to the Jets and Dolphins in the AFC East right now. Dolphins improve to 3-1.
3U
- Broncos @ Titans (-6.5)
The Broncos are in the mix right now but just can't seem to execute in the red zone in both attack and defence. Their only road game this season saw them lose to the lowly Jaguars in Week 1. That doesn't bode well here as the Titans look set to take the victory in this one. I'm not expecting a blow-out but a 7-10 point victory seems likely here as the Titans will simply be too much at home.
- Panthers (+13.5) @ Saints
When you start talking about two-touchdown spreads, you know one team is significantly better than the other. And here, this is just the case with the Saints looking in another league when compared to the Panthers. Although they won't win the game, I really think the Panthers can make this thing close enough to cover the spread. The Saints were pounded by the run last week and that's what the Panthers do best with Williams and Stewert. If they can eat-up the clock with long drives, the Saints' offence won't be able to put up too many points to be too far out of reach. Besides, Brees and co havn't looked the same this year anyway. Plus, Thomas is banged up at RB to go along with Bush.
- Colts (-8) @ Jaguars
Some may argue that this game is always close between two divisional foes. But let's face the facts here. This is not the same Jags team as a couple of years ago and, believe it or not, Peyton Manning is getting better. Now that is scary for this terrible Jags secondary who have been torched the last 2 weeks. Even if Manning only has the same receiving core as last week to work with, it should be enough to overcome the fact that they're on the road in a divisional game. Colts by double digits.
- Redskins @ Eagles (-6)
My initial thought and hope was for McNabb to march back into Phili and show the Eagles why they shouldn't have let him go. But, unfortunately, he has nothing to work with over in Washington. The running game is hopeless at the moment and the new 3-4 defence has been picked apart by the Texans and Rams in consecutive weeks. The Eagles are riding high right now and should have far too much talent at home for the Skins to cope with.
2U
- Seahawks @ Rams (+1)
1U
- 49ers (+6.5) @ Falcons
- Lions (+14.5) @ Packers
- Bengals (-3) @ Browns
- Ravens (+1) @ Steelers
- Cardinals @ Chargers (-9)
0.5U
- Texans @ Raiders (+3)
Time to profit people! cam_crawford@msn.com is where I will answer any questions. See ya on the other side of the weekend.
