NFL Week 4 Best Bets: Bills quiet Dolphins hype, Packers upend Lions, Buccaneers beat down Saints



Previously on this house, we now have highlighted Taylor Swift and her many glorious songs. Unfortunately, it sounds as if Ms. Swift has turn out to be fashionable. Who knew?? No doubt her luck is exactly a results of my most up-to-date absolute best bets column — and the wins had been reciprocal, as we are within the black for the 12 months via 3 weeks after a 3-2 effort in Week 3. 

We wish to stay it that means, so it is most likely absolute best to stay with the musical theme proper? Maybe we will be able to pair up Travis’ brother and podcast co-host, Jason Kelce. It cannot be a Swift-like fit, alternatively, as a result of as somebody who listens to the wildly entertaining “New Heights” pod is aware of, Jason is married.

So what about a perfect bizarre, localized band? And through tremendous bizarre, after all, I imply Ween. Philly-formed, they have were given songs like “Freedom of ’76” (that includes lyrics like “‘Mannequin’ was filmed at Woolworth’s” in conjunction with shoutouts to “Boyz II Men”). And in contrast to Taylor Swift, they may not betray Philly and turn out to be Chiefs lovers. 

They’re so Philly that they have introduced a display a 12 months prematurely within the City of Brotherly Love the place, allegedly, they will be enjoying “Chocolate and Cheese” in its entirety. See you there, and perhaps Jason will sign up for us.

Speaking of Philly, I’ve the Eagles final undefeated and protecting the 8-point unfold towards the Commanders this week. You can take a look at all of my selections at SportsLine (first month for $1 through the use of promo code PICK) and will see my complete Week 4 selections right here. And after all, take a look at our Pick Six NFL Week 4 NFL picks podcast live at 2 p.m. ET on our YouTube page, or concentrate anytime anywhere you get your podcasts.

Now onto the soccer selections. Let’s keep sizzling!

Jordan Love’s been lovely excellent the primary 3 weeks of the season. This Cindy tale would possibly finally end up in a pretzel, nevertheless it most likely may not occur at house on a brief week with Christian Watson and Aaron Jones coming again. The larger problems for this actual recreation are David Bakhtiari and De’Vondre Campbell; if the Packers cannot offer protection to or forestall the run, it is a drawback towards Detroit. But I’m no longer utterly assured Jared Goff will likely be elite on this spot, particularly when there is a dangerous matchup within the secondary for the Lions. If Detroit runs the ball neatly, the Lions will win. If they do not, the Packers are a highly spiced NFC name contender.

Everyone and their brother is loss of life to wager Miami, and they may be able to’t perceive why the Dolphins don’t seem to be appreciated after shedding 70 at the Broncos closing week. It’s a good query, nevertheless it obviously ignores how excellent Buffalo stays. The Bills are excellent. Josh Allen is excellent. The Dolphins are truly, truly excellent and Mike McDaniel could be the most efficient trainer within the NFL *presently.* Having stated all that, Sean McDermott is in his bag defensively these days and Allen took the Week 1 Jets lesson to middle. If Vic Fangio flips him for real, you then tip your cap. But everybody goes to again the Dolphins right here and be surprised when the Bills are the simpler workforce. Well, no longer everybody.

Chiefs (-9.5) at Jets 

Acting like there are “layers” to that is lovely loopy, however once in a while you do get a “Taylor Swift has to show up in New York” recreation with Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes having a look to blow their own horns a slightly plus Andy Reid decided to stay the rating low. Everyone interested by Swiftie stuff, however the actual masterminds remembered Mahomes getting harm and coping with an ankle damage. The underneath is a slammer right here on account of Reid’s turf wisdom. The Chiefs protection has been nice and so they may not surrender greater than 10 issues. If you assume Kansas City cannot rating 21, cross forward and fade them.

You should not wager this recreation, however my oldsters are going to be in Charlotte for this matchup. And I’ll be damned if I may not fade Kirk Cousins — even at 1 p.m. — within the hobby of hoping my circle of relatives can see some excellent soccer. Also … the Vikings protection is not excellent, they may not force Carolina up to folks be expecting, and the Panthers offensive line will/will have to be motivated through the 8 (EIGHT!) false begins from closing week. This is a quietly determined Panthers workforce — even though the Vikings are higher, they will have the opportunity to let Carolina keep inside a box function. 

The Bucs were given hammered through the Eagles on Monday night time in unsightly climate, however the Saints took a worse loss Sunday, coughing up an enormous result in the Packers whilst concurrently dropping Derek Carr for an undetermined time frame with a sprain of his AC joint. Carr is “week to week” with the damage and I do not be expecting him to play, which makes this a revenge recreation for Jameis Winston! Or the Buccaneers, relying on the way you have a look at it? Tampa’s protection is in a position to preying on mistake-prone quarterbacks and pal is Jameis mistake inclined. Baker Mayfield may have extra time towards New Orleans, he is indoors, and the Bucs will stay this inside a box function.
