Prisco’s Week 4 NFL picks: Packers take down rival Lions, Bills cool off Dolphins, Cowboys handle Patriots

It used to be a bounce-back week for me closing week with my choices.

Well, more or less.

I went 12-4 immediately up, however simply 7-9 opposed to the unfold. So when you have been in a pool selecting winners, you probably did OK with my choices. If you have been having a bet them, now not such a lot.

That brings my season data to 29-19 immediately up and 23-24-1 ATS. I wish to pick out it up selecting video games opposed to the quantity.

That’s the plan this week. It’s time for a double-up, above 60 p.c for each.

Thursday, 8:15 p.m. ET (Amazon)

This is a huge early-season department sport that includes two groups at 2-1 and each coming off victories closing week. The Packers are banged up, however must have some guys again this week. Rallying from at the back of to overcome the Saints closing week would be the factor that will get Jordan Love going. That carries over right here because the Packers win a decent one. 

Pick: Packers 24, Lions 20

I most effective make straight-up and against-the-spread choices, however the Sportsline Projection Model carefully examines the totals for each and every sport, and it is appearing large price on one aspect of this matchup. See which aspect to guess (*4*).

Sunday, 9:30 a.m. ET (ESPN+)

The Jaguars have been embarrassed on their house box Sunday by means of the Texans. They were one of the crucial larger disappointments to this point this season. Atlanta had issues in shedding to the Lions closing week on offense. The Jacksonville offense has struggled, however it is a likelihood to get it going. I believe they are going to, even supposing they have got misplaced the closing 3 in London. That adjustments. 

Pick: Jaguars 27, Falcons 21

Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (CBS, Paramount+)

The Dolphins are flying prime after scoring 70 closing week, with an offense that has appeared so excellent to this point. But Buffalo has owned this sequence lately, and they’re coming off a nine-sack day opposed to Washington. The protection seems to be a lot stepped forward over a 12 months in the past. That issues. Josh Allen could also be again not off course. Bills take it. 

Pick: Bills 28, Dolphins 23

Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (Fox, fubo)

This a sport that includes two winless groups. That manner it is a survival bowl. You cannot move 0-4. The Vikings have performed the simpler soccer of the 2 groups, however they are able to’t prevent anyone. The protection will play higher right here and they are going to give you the option to win it with Kirk Cousins having some other excellent day. 

Pick: Vikings 21, Panthers 20

Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (CBS, Paramount+)

This is the canine sport of the week. Both of those groups are screw ups presently. The Broncos simply gave up 70 issues. But Chicago may just play for weeks and now not rating 70. So what offers? I believe Sean Payton gets his group to bop again. The Bears are a larger mess. 

Pick: Broncos 30, Bears 17 

Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (CBS, Paramount+)

This is a gigantic early-season department sport between two excellent groups. The Ravens misplaced closing week to the Colts at house and feature been hit arduous by means of damage. The Browns have gained two of 3 at the back of a dominant protection. That protection would be the distinction. Lamar Jackson and the passing sport are not clicking but. Browns win it. 

Pick: Browns 24, Ravens 16

Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (CBS, Paramount+)

The Steelers perceived to in finding their offense within the victory over the Raiders closing week, whilst the Texans blew out the Jaguars to get their first victory. C.J. Stroud performed neatly in that sport, however this Steelers entrance will pose a large drawback for his offensive line. They get after him because the protection wins it for the Steelers with slightly offense on best. 

Pick: Steelers 24, Texans 17

Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (Fox, fubo)

The Rams are enjoying consecutive street video games and this one is on a brief week. The Colts are again house after two victories at the street, together with an disillusioned of the Ravens closing week. Anthony Richardson must be again at quarterback this week for Indy. This will likely be an in depth low-scoring sport, however finally I believe Matt Stafford will make a large play to win it. 

Pick: Rams 20, Colts 17

Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (Fox, fubo)

Both groups are coming off losses, and Saints will nearly for sure be enjoying Jameis Winston opposed to his former group with Derek Carr harm. So this will likely be a sport gained by means of the Saints protection. The Tampa Bay offense wasn’t excellent opposed to the Eagles. Winston will just do sufficient to win it. 

Pick: Saints 21, Bucs 14

Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (Fox, fubo)

The Commanders’ offensive line gave up 9 sacks closing week to the Bills. The Eagles’ defensive entrance is best than Buffalo’s. This won’t move neatly for Sam Howell, who threw 4 choices closing week. The Eagles’ offense used to be higher opposed to Tampa Bay Monday night time and that can elevate over. Eagles giant. 

Pick: Eagles 30, Commanders 19

Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (Fox, fubo)

The Bengals gained a must-win sport Monday night time, however now they move out at the street on a brief week to stand a Titans group that did not play neatly closing week. That’s normally a nasty aggregate. But the Bengals perceived to get it going opposed to the Rams. I believe that carries over right here as Joe Burrow continues to get fitter. 

Pick: Bengals 23, Titans 20

Sunday, 4:05 p.m. ET (CBS, Paramount+)

This sport between two 1-2 groups is an early-season biggie within the department. The Chargers can roll up giant numbers on offense, however they are able to’t prevent anyone. Look for Justin Herbert to play neatly right here opposed to a Raiders protection that made Kenny Pickett get not off course closing week. Chargers win a shootout. 

Pick: Chargers 31, Raiders 24

Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET (Fox, fubo)

The Pats are enjoying consecutive street video games after beating the Jets closing week, whilst the Cowboys are coming off a terrible loss to the Cardinals. That loss gets the Cowboys again not off course, particularly on protection. The Pats will be unable to get a lot offense going, however the Cowboys gets sufficient. It’s low scoring, however the Cowboys win it. 

Pick: Cowboys 23, Pats 9

Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET (Fox, fubo)

The 49ers could have been off for 10 days right here, whilst Arizona is coming off an excellent victory over the Cowboys. They are enjoying a lot better than anyone anticipated. The 49ers, despite the fact that, are a large problem. Even so, I believe Arizona can hang out on this one. 49ers in it, however it is tighter than anticipated. 

Pick: 49ers 27, Cardinals 21

Sunday, 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC, fubo)

No Aaron Rodgers makes this a less-than-marquee Sunday night time sport. But right here it’s. The Jets cannot rating and the Chiefs are enjoying exceptional protection. The Jets have a excellent protection, however Patrick Mahomes were given it going closing week. The Chiefs will win a difficult street sport. 

Pick: Chiefs 23, Jets 9

Monday, 8:15 p.m. ET (ABC, fubo)

This is an extended go back and forth for the Seahawks to play a group that has additional relaxation. The Giants have been terrible of their closing sport opposed to the 49ers, however again house they are going to get it occurring offense opposed to a so-so Seattle protection. Geno Smith would possibly not stay up. Giants win it. 

Pick: Giants 30, Seahawks 26
