Heading into week 4, my season record is 24-24, something has to break one of these weeks and I think it is going to be this week with the slate of games on the table.
Tennessee Titans vs Denver Broncos
The Denver Broncos running game is horrible, Kyle Orton is on pace to attempt nearly 700 passes this season, the Titans are home after thumping a not very good New York Giants team in week 3 Titans 28 Broncos 23
Pittsburgh Steelers vs Baltimore Ravens
Wow, what a game for Charlie Batch last Sunday. Ravens QB Joe Flacco isn’t facing the Cleveland Browns secondary this week. Steelers 20 Ravens 16
Cincinnati Bengals vs Cleveland Browns
The Cleveland Browns need to feed RB Peyton Hillis the ball 30 times to have a chance in this one against the Bengals. Bengals 31 Browns 16
New Orleans Saints vs Carolina Panthers
The Panthers are a very bad team right now which is starting a rookie quarterback in New Orleans. Drew Brees might be wearing a knee brace this weekend but he’d need to be in a full body cast not to beat Carolina this week. Saints 34 Panthers 13
Green Bay Packers vs. Detroit Lions
The Packers are angry over their loss on Monday night and what better team to take out your frustrations than a Detroit Lions team which have lost 21 consecutive road games. Packers 38 Lions 13
Atlanta Falcons vs San Francisco 49er’s
At some point, you have to think the Niners will finally get in the win column, but unfortunately, it won’t be this week. Falcons 30 49er’s 21
Seattle Seahawks vs St. Louis Rams
Yes, the Rams finally recorded a win last week over the Washington Redskins, but they most likely will be without their running back Steven Jackson this Sunday who has a groin injury. Seahawks 26 Rams 17
New York Jets vs Buffalo Bills
Last week, the Buffalo Bills named Ryan Fitzpatrick the Bills starting quarterback and Buffalo responded by scoring 30 points against the New England Patriots. That won’t happen against the Jets defense this week. Jets 23 Bills 13
Indianapolis Colts vs Jacksonville Jaguars
The Colts could be without several key starters against the Jaguars this Sunday. That shouldn’t matter as this game should be over by halftime. Colts 31 Jaguars 16
Houston Texans vs Oakland Raiders
The Texans are likely going into this game without their star wide receiver Andre Johnson. It shouldn’t matter though as RB Arian Foster should have a solid game, but it’s closer than you might think. Texans 24 Raiders 23
San Diego Chargers vs Arizona Cardinals
The Cardinals are running out of weapons for this game. San Diego rebounds over their loss to Seattle last week. Chargers 27 Cardinals 16
Philadelphia Eagles vs Washington Redskins
The return of Donovan McNabb to Philadelphia, unfortunately McNabb doesn’t have much talent around him. Eagles 31 Redskins 20
New York Giants vs Chicago Bears
Can the Bears keep it going? Can the Giants get it started? I’m taking the Giants for no other reason than when things get tough around Tom Coughlin, he always finds a way to win. Giants 23 Bears 20
New England Patriots vs. Miami Dolphins
The Buffalo Bills put 30 points on the Patriots last week in New England. Dolphins WR Brandon Marshall has a field day with the Patriots young secondary. Dolphins 34 Patriots 31
