NFL Week 4 Bettors Guide.

Last Week: 11-5 straight up; 10-6 against the spread.
Overall: 22-10 straight up; 21-11 against the spread.

Cincinnati Bengals (-6) @ Cleveland Browns: You would expect a letdown from the Bengals after that emotional come from behind win over the Steelers. But these are the Browns we're talkin about here. Derek Anderson gives the Browns a better chance to score...but that's about it ha. Cincinnati 24 Cleveland 7

Detroit Lions (+10) @ Chicago Bears: The Lions are lookin to build a winning streak! They won't do it here, but with their new-found confidence I expect it to be somewhat close. The Bears are a team that doesn't scare me. Chicago 27 Detroit 21

Oakland Raiders @ Houston Texans (-8.5): The Texans' defense is pretty bad- especially against the run- and if Oakland isn't forced to pass then all bets are off. But even with Nmandi Ashomuga locked in on Andre Johnson, the Texans have too many weapons on offense and should get the job done. Houston 31 Oakland 13

Seattle Seahawks @ Indianapolis Colts (-10): Seattle is an atrocious traveling team. If this game was at 4:15 I'd have them covering but Indianapolis is gonna have a field day, even without Dwight Freeney. Indianapolis 34 Seattle 10

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+7.5) @ Washington Redskins: I mean when you looked at the schedule and you see the Rams, Lions and Bucs all in a row, you should salivate. But these Redskins are pretty awful themselves. Anyhow, this game is gonna be another brutal one to watch. Washington 10 Tampa Bay 9

Tennessee Titans (-3) @ Jacksonville Jaguars: This game is gonna be blacked out in Jacksonville, which is a shame. I just can't see the Titans start out 0-4...but this will be a close game per usual in this AFC South rivalry. Tennessee 20 Jacksonville 14

New York Giants @ Kansas City Chiefs (+8.5): This is one of those games where I can see the Giants sleepwalking and keeping the Chiefs in the game for much longer than they should. The Chiefs try hard. New York 24 Kansas City 17

Baltimore Ravens @ New England Patriots (-1.5): The fact that the over/under is 44.5 is laughable because both defenses just aren't the same as they used to be. Can someone say shootout? New England 31 Baltimore 28

Buffalo Bills (pick'em) @ Miami Dolphins: Ehhhh. Buffalo 20 Miami 10

New York Jets (+7) @ New Orleans Saints: GAME OF THE WEEK. Where's the respect from Vegas for my boys? I understand the Saints average 40ppg but they have yet to face a respectable defense. Drew Brees has the weapons to dissect teams, but how will the offensive line fare in their first test? The Jets have already shut down 2 powerful offenses in Houston and New England and while they won't shut down the Saints...they should contain them. I am picking the upset. New York 27 New Orleans 17

St. Louis Rams @ San Francisco 49ers (-9.5): The Niners will take out their frustrations here and do so with a vengance. San Francisco 34 St. Louis 9

Dallas Cowboys (-3) @ Denver Broncos: Okay Denver, you're facing a real offense now. Dallas 24 Denver 13

San Diego Chargers (+6.5) @ Pittsburgh Steelers: Truthfully I would avoid this game at all costs but hey I have to make a selection right? Pittsburgh 23 San Diego 17

Green Bay Packers @ Minnesota Vikings (-3): It's gonna be a fun game to watch. Green Bay usually has nightmares at the dome and the Vikings have a ton of momentum. Minnesota 31 Green Bay 21.

And so on.
