Week 4 NFL Picks

Week 4 NFL Picks

Carolina Panthers vs. Atlanta Falcons

Winner:  Atlanta Falcons

Why:  You've seen the way Atlanta is playing, a team led by a "man we're losing I'm going to pout" Cam Newton team is not going to beat the Falcons right now.

New England Patriots vs. Buffalo Bills

Winner:  Patriots

Why:  The Pats are on a two game losing streak, even though this game will be closer than some may think expect the Pats to squeak out a win and avenge the losses to Arizona and Baltimore in the two past weeks

Minnesota Vikings vs. Detroit Lions

Winner:  Detroit Lions

Why:  Yes, the Vikings beat the 49ers last week, and yes Christian Ponder looks significantly better this year, but no, the Lions need this game and will win this game.

San Diego Chargers vs. Kansas City Chiefs

Winner:  Chiefs

Why:  The Chiefs defense is getting healthier, that's a great sign for  a team with so much defensive talent in place, not only that Jamaal Charles ran like a man possessed last week  against the New Orleans Saints.  Expect Charles to have another big week in the Chiefs second straight win of the season.

Seattle Seahawks vs. St. Louis Rams

Winner:  Seahawks

Why:  Should the Seahawks have a L in the losers column after last weeks "We don't know what, we're doing man we're just here," performance put on by Replacement Referees? Heck Ya, but are they a "real" team with a really stout defense, with a secondary that scares everybody else in the league?  The answer to that is yes also, look for them to confuse Sam Bradford into a terrible performance followed by a Seattle win.

San Francisco 49ers vs. New York Jets

Winner:  49ers

Why:  To be honest, I think the Jets are a joke this year, nothing more than a gimmick.  Even though, the 49ers took a surprising L to the Vikings last week expect them to do nothing less than beat the tar out of the Jets this week.

Tennessee Titans vs. Houston Texans

Winner:  Texans

Why:  As much as it pains me to say this right now the Texans are the best team in the NFL.  That trend isn't going to stop this weekend when they put another win in the winners column over the "Thank You BasedGod" miracle winners of last week. 

Oakland Raiders vs. Denver Broncos

Winner:  Broncos

Why:  The Raiders look like trash on defense, yes they squeaked out a win last week against the Steelers. Forget that the Broncos are going to do whatever they please against the Raiders this weekend.

Miami Dolphins vs. Arizona Cardinals

Winner:  Cardinals

Why:  Reggie Bush is the Dolphins offense, he's inactive today.  Therefore, the Arizona Cardinals will start the season 4-0 Chuuuuch.

Cincinatti Bengals vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

Winner: Bengals

Why:  Jacksonville also squeaked out a "Thank You BasedGod" win this week.  But, with the way Andy Dalton and AJ Green are working the honeymoon will end this Sunday, who said they gonna beat them Bengals?

New Orleans Saints vs. Green Bay Packers

Winner: Packers

Why:  The Packers took a misfortunate loss last week thanks to the crew of Foot Locker sneaker salesman reffing NFL games.  Welp they won't this week when New Orleans starts the season off 0-4, "The bounty brothers of Fall," have one of the worst defenses in the league,  do your really think they can slow down Aaron Rodgers in company? Me neither

Washington Redskins vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Winner:  Redskins

Why:  A matchup of two of the worst pass defenses in the NFL. Expect RGIII from Goodburger to out duel Greg Schiano and the "We play hard when teams take knees," Buccaneers.

New York Giants vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Winner:  Giants

Why:  This will be a very interesting matchup, but to be honest the way Michael Vick has been playing there is no way I'm picking them to beat the Giants.

Dallas Cowboys vs. Chicago Bears.

Winner:  Cowboys

Why:  Two words, Jay Cutler.  O, thanks for my fantasy points each week Jay?  I joke, I joke, you're a jerk.

NFL Week 3 Picks

Week 3 NFL Picks

Carolina Panthers vs. New York Giants

Winner: Carolina Panthers

Why:  No Hakeem Nicks, No Ahmad Bradshaw, No G-Men win.  Expect Cam Newton and Steve Smith to have a field day against a depleted Giant Secondary that's been hit hard by the injury bug.

St. Louis Rams vs. Chicago Bears

Winner:  Chicago Bears

Why: Bears Quarterback Jay Cutler has to bounce back from the horrendous performance he had against the Packers.  Don't expect 4 picks this week, hero Jay will be roping Touchdown passes against a young Rams secondary. 

Buffalo Bills vs. Cleveland Browns

Winner: Buffalo Bills

Why:  I just can't put faith in Browns Quarterback Brandon Weeden, even with Trent Richardson around him he just doesn't have the tools or the tools around him to lead the Browns to victory. Expect this game to be a route in which CJ Spiller has another Fantasy player of the week type performance.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Dallas Cowboys

Winner:  Dallas Cowboys

Why:  The Cowboys looked soft last week, both sides of the ball looked like the marsh-mellow unit.  Expect the Boys to bounce back in a dominant performance against the Buccaneers and first year Head Coach Greg Schiano.

Detroit Lions vs. Tennessee Titans

Winner:  Detroit Lions

Why:  Matt Stafford and Calvin Johnson have yet to connect on a Touchdown pass this season, expect that to change as the Lions look to offensively explode on the Titans and their secondary.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Indianopolis Colts

Winner:  Indianopolis Colts

Why:  I was a fan of Blaine Gabbert pre-last year, but I've seen virtually no change in his play since last season, in which he looked like a 12 year old boy about to go on his first date in the pocket.  Expect Andrew Luck to get his 2nd career NFL win.

New York Jets vs. Miami Dolphins

Winner:  Jets

Why:  Other than Reggie Bush, take a good hard look at the Dolphins roster.......you see what I see, ya this is an easy pick.

San Francisco 49ers vs.  Minnesota Vikings

Winner: 49ers

Why:  A suffocating 49ers defense will give Adrian Peterson and the Vikings run game problems all day Enter:  Christian Ponder, do you really expect him to set the world on fire against the 49ers?  Me neither 49ers in a route.

Kansas City Chiefs vs. New Orleans Saints

Winner:  Chiefs

Why:  The Saints defense couldn't tackle Stewy Griffin if he was the only player on the field.  New Orleans Saints fans get ready to get into panic mode as your team starts the year off 0-3.

Cincinnati Bengals vs. Washington Redskins

Winner:  Bengals

Why:  RgIII has looked better than advertised in his first two NFL games.  I do expect him to take a step back this week against a Bengals team that needs all the wins they can get to compete in a loaded AFC North.

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Arizona Cardinals

Winner: Eagles

Why:  Arizona pulled off a Thank you BasedGod type win against the Patriots last week. Well, the BasedGod won't be with them this week Michael Vick and the Eagles will be 3-0 after this Sunday

Atlanta Falcons vs.  San Diego Chargers

Winner:  Falcons

Why:  San Diego gets Ryan Matthews back this week, that's a huge lift but don't expect a W against a Atlanta Falcons offense that looks unstoppable to start off this season.

Houston Texans vs. Denver Broncos

Winner:  Broncos

Why:  Peyton Manning looked dazed and confused Monday night against a Falcons defense who came prepared to make plays.  Don't expect that Peyton Manning two weeks in a row, Broncos win a tight win.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Oakland Raiders

Winner:  Steelers

Why:  Steelers looked dominant in last week's Sunday against the Jets. Mark Sanchez looked, as if he had never seen the Steelers defense in his entire life.  The Raiders have struggled offensively and defensively expect more of that this week.

New England vs. Baltimore Ravens

Winner:  Ravens

Why:  Even though its only Week 3, this is a huge game for both teams coming off losses in games they should have won.  Expect this rematch from last years AFC championship game to be extremely physical, helmets will fly this weekend.  The loss of  versatile Tight End Aaron Hernandez is huge for the Patriots, who will need all their weapons healthy for a battle against a hungry Ravens team.

Green Bay Packers vs. Seattle Seahawks

Winner:  Packers

Why:  Ya Seattle looked extremely impressive against a sluggish Dallas Cowboys team last week, but expect the honeymoon to end Monday Night against Aaron Rodgers and company.
