But this is going to be Christian McCaffrey's breakout game, I'll randomly predict. The Panthers defense could not pressure Drew Brees. Cam Newton threw three picks, two of which were just terrible. The Patriots struggled to beat the Texans at home in Week 3, but the Panthers struggled to even compete with the Saints at home in Week 3. Give me the home team getting points in a divisional matchup. Cincinnati is probably more desperate but the Browns need to win in a bad way. Give me the points.Īnother similar situation here for Cleveland - they are a worse team coming off a much worse loss, but they are also 0-3 like the Bengals.

The Ravens will be angry and they will play the Steelers close. But the Steelers-Ravens rivalry is too big a deal to be taking a road favorite in this situation. They just lost 44-7 to the frigging Jaguars in London and will be coming back without a bye to face a dangerous division foe coming off a bad loss. Nothing about the Ravens would suggest to you they are ready to keep it close with the Steelers. But the Bills won't slow down the Falcons and Julio Jones here. Buffalo is better defensively than we thought primarily because Sean McDermott is a coach on the rise. But both of the Falcons' close calls came on the road, and they thumped the Green Bay Packers at home. The Buffalo Bills could very well be 3-0 and the Atlanta Falcons could very well be 1-2 at this point. Still, they are a home team getting points here and they have shown they will cover and the Jaguars are traveling back from London without a bye week in between.

They're still not a good team, even if they have graduated from tank factory to frisky underdog. Zero reason to like the Jets here, even after a surprising Week 3 win against the Dolphins. Mike Mularkey's offense looks impressively and surprisingly creative and DeMarco Murray is very much healthy. The Titans rolled over the Seahawks defense in the second half last week and should be able to do the same against the Texans here. Road chalk in a divisional situation after the Texans managed to keep it close against the Patriots feels dangerous, but I'm just going with the better team here. Sammy Watkins has 10 days to clear the concussion protocol and as good as the Cowboys have looked on defense, there should be opportunities to make plays for this Rams offense against the Cowboys secondary. The Cowboys finally started to get the run game going against the Cardinals on Monday night, which I would reckon leads to a lot of people backing the Cowboys in this game. The Dolphins offense won't veer away from the run like the Panthers did, however, and Jay Ajayi is set for his first big running day of the season after being bottled up against the Jets. We saw that on Sunday against the Panthers.

This game is much less likely to be a blowout, although certainly the Saints can hang some numbers on just about anyone in the NFL. The Bears are a different team on the road and despite Aaron Rodgers not having a ton of protection right now, he has the weapons to put a lowly Bears team away on a short-rest week.Ī second straight week with breakfast football! How exciting. Green Bay had to hold off the Bengals at home last week and the Bears pulled a massive home upset against the Steelers, but also nearly did not get out of their own way at the end of the first half and again in overtime.
