Here are my Week 4 picks:

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25
New York Giants @ Washington Redskins (Both teams are desperate for a win, but I am choosing the Skins because it is at home and they look better)

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 28
Green Bay Packers @ Chicago Bears (Packers need this win to survive. I haven't been impressed with them on either side of the ball though.)
Buffalo Bills @ Houston Texans (Texans are so overrated and I think Bills are a better team)
Tennessee Titans @ Indianapolis Colts (Colts are so lucky that their division sucks. -_-)
Detroit Lions @ New York Jets (This is a game the Lions should win, but they are also the ones that give them the most trouble)
Carolina Panthers @ Baltimore Ravens (I think this one could go either way, but the Ravens are a strong home team and they should run all over the Panthers like the Steelers did)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Pittsburgh Steelers (The Bucs are so horrible right now and the Steelers are strong at home)
Miami Dolphins @ Oakland Raiders (Sucky matchup, but I guess the Dolphins are better than the Raiders)
Jacksonville Jaguars @ San Diego Chargers (Chargers will destroy Jacksonville at home)
Atlanta Falcons @ Minnesota Vikings (Vikings have nothing going for them now that all their talent is gone. Might be a repeat of last weeks Bucs game. )
Philadelphia Eagles @ San Francisco 49ers (I have not been impressed with the 49ers yet)
New Orleans Saints @ Dallas Cowboys (Saints should rip Dallas' defense to pieces.)

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 29
New England Patriots @ Kansas City Chiefs (I hope the Chiefs destroy the Patriots, but NE always gets lucky despite looking like garbage this year)

Here's my week 4 picks:

Skins over Giants - Washington just looks much better than big blue so far.
Packers over Bears - Neither team looks particularly amazing yet, but the Pack have a way of winning when they need to. And they need to. Bears typically fall apart.
Bills over Texans - Remember last year how Houston started the year 2-0 and never won again?
Colts over Titans - Indy hasn't really put a complete game together yet. But I imagine with the talent they have they should start rolling.
Lions over Jets - This is the first of a slate of four straight very winnable games for my Lions. We have the talent and we're playing amazingly well so far. I expect us to pick up the win here.
Ravens over Panthers - Really could go either way. I'll side with the home team.
Steelers over Buccaneers - Tampa Bay might be the worst team in the league right now.
Dolphins over Raiders - It's the Raiders.
Chargers over Jaguars - San Diego is one point short of being 3-0.
Falcons over Vikings - Matt Ryan throws 7 touchdowns in the first half, Atlanta plays their 3rd string the second half.
Eagles over 49ers - Philadelphia is for real and are clearly the best team in their division. San Francisco's window has shut and they are stumbling.
Saints over Cowboys - Drew Brees will SHRED the Cowboys.
Patriots over Chiefs - I think this game will be closer than a lot of people think. Final score: Patriots 24, Chiefs 20.

Week 4 Picks

Eagles vs 49ers (UPSET SPECIAL! I can't see the 49ers losing 3 in a row, and the Eagles have scraped by.)


Saints vs Cowboys (Saints should light up the Jumbotron on SNF)


Panthers vs Ravens (Steve Smith reunion)


Bills vs Texans (Two teams that just got their first loss, will go with home team here, Houston)


Falcons vs Vikings (Falcons should kill the Vikings)


Packers vs Bears (Homer pick, Packers should rebound against those assholes in Chicago)


Patriots vs Chiefs (Any game is a trap game in KC, although the Patriots should be fine here)


Lions vs Jets (Jets are bad)


Buccaneers vs Steelers (Suckaneers)


Jaguars vs Chargers (Bortles is in now, Jags will be better, but the Chargers are much better than Jackassville)


Giants vs Redskins (Cousins should be permanent starter)


Titans vs Colts (Colts should win here)


Dolphins vs Raiders (Toilet Bowl exclusively in London)

And just like that, the Redskins fall back down to earth.

And just like that, the Redskins fall back down to earth.

So much for Cousins being a replacement for RG3. The whole team looked awful against the Giants, and Eli Manning was picking their defense apart. I should've seen that coming.

So far, all of the Thursday Night games have been blowouts. Next week is Vikings vs. Packers. I wonder when we will actually get a good match?

Week 8 has Chargers Broncos.

Week 8 has Chargers Broncos.  

Oh yeah, that looks like it will be really good. I still remember the Chargers upsetting the Broncos last year. That was a great game!

[AimYourBrent]

I should have known better than to doubt Eli Manning that much.

Normally I would say the Pack would destroy the Vikings but this year who knows. Aaron Rogers looks mortal.

Chargers vs Broncos is always a good game. They usually split with each other every season. It'll be nice to have them on TNF.

Every team in the NFC Least I do not understand. Everyone of them is so bipolar. They have had a different division winner since 2004

2014: ?
2013: Eagles
2012: Redskins
2011: Giants (Super Bowl)
2010: Eagles
2009: Cowboys (Eagles wild card)
2008: Giants (Eagles wild card)
2007: Cowboys (Giants (Super Bowl), Redskins wild card)
2006: Eagles (Cowboys, Giants wild card)
2005: Redskins (?)
2004: Eagles (lost Super Bowl)

Only the NFC South is more unpredictable with a different division winner every year since it started. 

2014: ?
2013: Panthers (Saints wild card)
2012: Falcons
2011: Saints (Falcons wild card)
2010: Falcons (Saints wild card)
2009: Saints (Super Bowl)
2008: Panthers (Falcons wild card)
2007: Buccaneers
2006: Saints
2005: Buccaneers (Panthers wild card)
2004: Falcons
2003: Panthers (lost Super Bowl)
2002: Buccaneers (Super Bowl) (Falcons wild card)

Note that each team in the south won their division 3 times each!

[The Red Jaguars]

NFC East is hard to pinpoint because some weeks those teams look amazing while other weeks they look like garbage. Most of the time you can't make sense of them because they are inconsistent. This year, the Eagles look like a dominant team and I can see them being the NFCE favorites. Cowboys and Giants are all over the place, so I don't have high hopes for them yet. And the Redskins are garbage.

The NFC South is also surprising too considering how good the Saints have been since their SB win. You would think they would win the division more often since then. I don't see Carolina repeating again this year though. It will either be Saints or Falcons. The Bucs are out of the picture.

[AimYourBrent]

Tampa Bay is probably the worst team in the NFL right now except for maybe the Raiders.

Jacksonville probably has a case to be on that list, too.

PACKERS WIN!!

Buccaneers beat the Steelers!
