Thursday, Oct. 5
New England Patriots at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+6)
This really to me feels like a game the Patriots can lose as road teams always are at a disadvantage in quick turnaround games. Plus it still might be quite humid in Florida this time of year, although obviously playing at night will lessen that some. Pick ATS: BucsSunday, Oct. 8
Buffalo Bills at Cincinnati Bengals (-3.5)
The Bengals close out their last game before the bye week in hopes of payback against the Bills. Buffalo beat Cincinnati 16-12 last season after the Bengals lost A.J. Green on the first play of the game. Pick ATS: BengalsNY Jets at Cleveland Browns (pick)
This is my favorite game of the year, by far. These are two of the three worst teams in the NFL along with San Francisco. But obviously one has to win here – assuming no tie – and the loser potentially wins big in terms of landing the No. 1 pick in the 2018 draft. Pick ATS: BrownsCarolina Panthers at Detroit Lions (-2)
The last time the Panthers traveled to the Motor City (2011) the Lions put up 49 points against them in Rivera’s first season at Carolina. That’s still the most given up by a Rivera team. Detroit won’t get close to 49 this time but will win. Pick ATS: LionsSan Francisco 49ers at Indianapolis Colts (TBA)
Pretty much all Colts lines are going to be off the board until it’s determined whether Andrew Luck will start the season on the PUP list. If he does, he won’t play this game. Then the 49ers could actually win. Pick ATS: TBAEarly Picks and Predictions for NFL Week 4
Tennessee Titans at Miami Dolphins (TBA)
As of this writing, the Dolphins are awaiting word on a knee injury suffered by quarterback Ryan Tannehill in practice on Thursday. It looked bad, but early reports are he avoided an ACL tear. So he might be ready to play here. Pick ATS: TBALA Chargers at NY Giants (-7)
Of course in the 2004 draft, the Chargers selected QB Eli Manning No. 1 overall but he refused to play for the team. So the Giants traded Philip Rivers, whom they took a few spots after Manning, and picks to the Chargers for Manning. Pick ATS: GiantsArizona Cardinals at Philadelphia Eagles (-2)
The Cardinals’ first cross-country road trip comes in Week 5. It’ll be their first chance to see if they have gotten over the East Coast woes that plagued them in 2016. I don’t think so. Pick ATS: EaglesJacksonville Jaguars at Pittsburgh Steelers (-9)
The Jags seem to play the Steelers tough even with Jacksonville stinks as the past five matchups have been decided by an average of 5.2 points per game. This one will stay within a TD. Pick ATS: Jags win in NFL Week 5Seattle Seahawks at LA Rams (+6)
For whatever reason, the Rams have given the Seahawks fits over the past handful of years even though Seattle is vastly better. Still, I’m surprised this line is under a TD. Pick ATS: SeahawksBaltimore Ravens at Oakland Raiders (TBA)
The Raiders have won two straight against the Ravens, who may or may not have quarterback Joe Flacco ready for the season. Thus the TBA. Pick ATS: TBA
