Jason Ross’ NFL Week 4 Picks & Predictions

Three weeks into the NFL season and we have seen some great action so far. Five teams are undefeated, five teams are winless and this weekend I can guarantee that we will get some more great drama.

So here are the picks.

Lock of the week (3-0, last week Carolina was the pick)

Buffalo Bills over the Houston Texans. Buffalo has improved each week. They are better in every aspect of the game vs. the Titans. Buffalo should absolutely cruise to (3-1).

Upset of the week (0-3, lost last week with Detroit, thanks Justin Tucker)

Indianapolis Colts in a mini upset over the Miami Dolphins. The Colts are better than their winless record. I think this is the week that the Colts finally break through.

Games That I Feel Good About

Bengals over the Jaguars. Cincinnati is just ahead of the Jaguars schedule. Cincinnati gradually improved as the year went along last year and their steady climb has continued into this season.

Look for the Bengals to keep the Jags winless.

Cowboys over the Panthers. Dallas and more specifically Dak Prescott has really impressed me. Dak will continue to put this team on his back and take on this talented Panthers defense. Cowboys win.

Browns over the Vikings. Minnesota has been in every game and finally broke through last week but I am very high on what Cleveland can do each and every week. The defense last week dominated the Bears and the offense cruised to a W. Look for more of the same this week.

Saints over the Giants. The Saints have too much for New York. This looks like a matchup on paper and will be one on the field too.

Titans over the Jets. Another game that looks like a mismatch and should play out that way. The Jets are going through a rebuild and the Titans are not. Tennessee should have an easy Sunday.

Chiefs over the Eagles. Not sure why Kansas City isn’t playing as well as we all expect. With that the Chiefs are still very good and they are better than the Eagles. I like the Chiefs here.

Packers over the Steelers. That Sunday night win was big and the team reaction from that win and what was being said felt like a big moment for Green Bay. Pittsburgh is not right at the moment and I don’t think they get right this week. Take the Pack.

Buccaneers over the Patriots. This is all about Brady vs. Bill but the talent discrepancy is a bigger reason why this game will go to Tampa Bay. Brady should be great in his return but the defending champs will take care of business and make it a good day for Team Brady.

Games That Go Either Way

Falcons over Washington Football Team. Atlanta found a way last week and just playing a hunch here that they get to .500

Lions over the Bears. Detroit has really competed well each week but they don’t have a victory for their efforts. I think they edge Chicago this week to get that first win.

Rams over Cardinals. Watch for a bit of a letdown from the Rams but because they are home, I think they find a way to squeak past Arizona.

49ers over the Seahawks. This should be a great game. How well do the 49ers handle Russell Wilson? Can the 49ers run enough to make it easier on their offense? I will take the Niners in a close one.

Broncos over the Ravens. I was a believer in Denver coming in and they have taken care of an easy schedule so far. Baltimore has been up and down and I think Denver takes advantage of that.

Raiders over the Chargers. The Raiders will go to LA and maybe even use OT again to win. Raiders in a close call over the Chargers and the Raiders Nation will be ON FIRE!!!!
