NFL Week 4 ATS

Last week certainly didn’t break the bank account as I recorded a 10-3-3 week. Not that it would make much of a difference, but of the 3 even games, I was 2-1 in straight up picks.

Alright, this week will be short and sweet.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

September 30, 2007, Sunday

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oakland Raiders +4
Miami Dolphins
I’m taking the Dolphins to win here, but not by more than a field goal. Raiders cover.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Houston Texans -3
Atlanta Falcons
Matt Schaub will match up against his former team and show them what they are missing. Take Houston, give the points.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Baltimore Ravens
Cleveland Browns +4
Ravens defense should be able to hold the Browns to a low score, but the Baltimore offense won’t be able to run up the score themselves. Take the Browns to cover.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chicago Bears -3
Detroit Lions
Bears defense is a little banged up, but they will still remain dominate. I’d give the points, only because Grossman won’t be throwing the ball. Take the Bears give the points.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Green Bay Packers -3
Minnesota Vikings
Packers are for real this year. Favre has improved and their defense is good. Take the Pack, give the measly three points.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

St. Louis Rams
Dallas Cowboys -13.5
Of three games, the Rams have lost one by 14 and another by 21. The Cowboys have won by 10, 17, and 24. Take Dallas, give the points.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New York Jets -3.5
Buffalo Bills
Thomas Jones should run wild. Jets and give the points.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tampa Bay Buccaneers +3
Carolina Panthers
Jake Delhomme is most likely out. Ouch. Buccaneers steal away with another? Bucs, take the points.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seattle Seahawks -2.5
San Francisco 49ers
By a field goal right before overtime, Seahawks, give the points.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5
Arizona Cardinals
Cardinals win one game over Seattle and they get better odds than San Fran did against the Steelers? Take the Steelers and give, give, give the points.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kansas City Chiefs +12
San Diego Chargers
Chargers win, but I have my concerns here. Twelve is too many. Chiefs cover.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Denver Broncos +10
Indianapolis Colts
Some may say this is a homer pick (Go Broncos), but Indy has been keeping it within seven over the last two match ups. Broncos cover.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Philadelphia Eagles -3
New York Giants
Both teams came around last week, and both teams have had high scoring games. Hairs on the back of my neck say Philly gives the points.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

October 1, 2007, Monday Night Football

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New England Patriots -7.5
Cincinnati Bengals
I know the Bengals have a high powered offense, but the Patriots defense has done well this year and New England has yet to have a close game. I don’t think they start against the porous pass defense of the Bengals. Tom Brady and Randy Moss have a field day. Take the Patriots and give the 7.5. Heck, give 10, give 13. You could probably even get away with giving 16… well, ok, let’s not get carried away, maybe not 16.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And there you have it. Week 4 picks ATS. Good Luck.
