WEEK 4 PICKS
by Dylan Ehle on Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 10:20pm ·
It took me forever to post this week, but here we go:
LOCK: Browns at Ravens: RAVENS. I got my lock for the first time since week 1...and I had to sweat it out. Jeez, nothing is certain in the NFL this season.
Panthers at Falcons: FALCONS. I hate to do it, because I don't think the Falcons are that good - but I've been wrong about them each week so far, so I guess I'd better take them now.
Patriots at Bills: PATRIOTS. There's no way that they lose 3 in a row.
Vikings at Lions: LIONS. The Vikings have been sharp, and I think that these two are pretty evenly matched as the Vikings have overachieved and the Lions have underachieved - I'll take the home team.
Titans at Texans: TEXANS. This shouldn't be close. Texans win by at least two touchdowns.
Chargers at Chiefs: CHIEFS. It's a toss-up, but I think the Chargers started their early-season slide last week, and it continues here.
49ers at Jets: 49ERS. I can't believe that they're only 4-point favorites. The Jets are very shaky now, and they're without Revis.
UPSET: Seahawks at Rams: RAMS. I thought I was unique taking this to be a trap game for Seattle after two surprising wins...however, it seems everyone is calling a Rams upset now. Oh, well...I still think the Rams take it in a close one.
Dolphins at Cardinals: CARDINALS. They're 3-0, so it's hard to pick against them when they play the lowly Dolphins. Much weirder stuff has happened this season, though.
Raiders at Broncos: BRONCOS. Peyton should have a nice and easy time getting back on track here. The Broncos D will be a nightmare for Palmer.
Bengals at Jaguars: JAGUARS! I'm picking my boys to get to .500 this week with an upset at home. I would be my upset as well, but the line is only one point in favor of the Bengals, and that should tell you something right there. The Jags get two offensive lineman back from injury, which is HUGE. Look how well they've been running the ball with 60% of their line hurt...now, give them two starters back and put them against a horrible Bengals run defense. Jones-Drew goes over 100 yards, the Jags dominate time of possession, and they win a close game with Cinci.
Saints at Packers: PACKERS. It's hard to pick against the Packers. It's hard to pick the Saints. This will be a shootout, but with two Packers TDs to every Saints TD.
WASH: Redskins at Bucs: REDSKINS. I really don't know how to call this, so I"ll make it my wash and but a little faith in RG3 for my record's sake.
Giants at Eagles: GIANTS. Big blue's defense will light up Michael Vick, and will cause several turnovers - Giants win by at least 10.
Bears at Cowboys: COWBOYS. My Bears Super Bowl prediction isn't looking so hot at the moment, and I just don't see them winning a tough one in D.
Last week: 7-9
Season: 23-25 (It's been a tough year so far....ouch)
Points: -4
