Money in the Bank NFL Picks: Week 4

Last week, I told you I would take my game to another level and predicted a .500 week. How does 10-6 sound? That brings my season record to 15-16-1. Some of you are saying, “I could flip a coin and do better.” You are wrong. My paying clients knew the secret “for entertainment purposes only” betting rules in week one (double up on the upset special) and week two (double up on the MitB) and have done quite well.

There are too many 7-10 point spreads this week for me to have a stellar round of picks, (you know, on any given Sunday and all), but I think you’ll be happy with my selections overall.

Since my picks are late and many of you have been waiting anxiously for my wisdom and guidance, I am giving everyone FREE advice on the Upset Special and Money in the Bank picks this week:

Double up on the Upset Special pick.

Triple up on the Money in the Bank pick.

By knowing the rules, if you put all of your money in the bank on my money in the bank pick, you know what you are getting into before you lose all of your money in the bank.

Here are my predictions for week 4 of the NFL.

—

Tennessee at Jacksonville (+3): Jacksonville. Since Jax is at home and getting 3 points, I will stick with them and hope they play a little smashmouthier than the Titans.

St. Louis at San Francisco (-10): St. Louis. San Fran should win, but not by this much.

Dallas at Denver (+3): Denver. Dallas is not good. It may be my irrational hate as a skins fan speaking here, but every team that loses TO, misses TO and Dallas is no exception.

Baltimore at New England (-2): The Pats are not healthy enough to overcome what is about to hit them.

Oakland at Houston (-9.5): Houston. Oakland’s defense isn’t that bad, but I am not picking Jamarcus Russell, on the road, against a good offense.

NY Jets at New Orleans (-7): New Orleans. Pierre Thomas is the truth. He needs to go by Pyrex Pierre or something a little more gangster, though. He can never compete with the best backs in the league with a name like Pierre.

Buffalo at Miami (+2.5): Buffalo. If you have TO in your fantasy league, Sunday will make you very happy.

Seattle at Indianapolis (-10.5): Indy. Look for the Colts to take an early lead and quickly dismiss any chance the Seahawks have at keeping this one close.

Tampa Bay at Washington (-7): Tampa Bay. Washington’s offense isn’t as bad as it looks. It’s actually 13^th in the league. But points aren’t awarded for moving the chains, so there is no reason to think the Skins will beat anyone this season by more than 3-4 points.

NY Giants at Kansas City (+9): NY. The Chiefs are among the worst teams in football with no hope, zero, of turning things around this season.

Detroit at Chicago (-10.0) Chicago. If Kevin Smith is healthy, I’d take the points. If he is out, which he appears to be, I don’t see how Stafford can carry his team on the road against an offense that gets better each week.

San Diego at Pittsburgh (-6.5): San Diego. On the one hand, Pittsburgh is the defending champion, at home, in what is the equivalent of a must-win game in week 4. On the other hand, the Steelers suck. My irrational joy in cheering against them is bolstered by another potential loss ahead. Without Troy Polamalu, they can’t stop Gates, Jackson and the chargers running game. In addition, the Steeler’s offense is suspect. When you rely on Shaun McDonald to pick up the slack, you are not an elite team. That said, I can’t, with any confidence, expect the Steelers to actually lose. They will either show some cajones and win by 24 or keep it close and not cover the spread. I’m taking the points.

Cincinnati at Cleveland (+6): Browns. UPSET SPECIAL! The Bengals have beaten the Packers and Steelers and almost beat the 3-0 Broncos. The Browns are 0-3 but have opened against Min, Den, and Bal – teams with a combined 9-0 record. Derek Anderson is way better than Quinn, and this week I am picking Cleveland to shock the world!

Green Bay at Minnesota (-3.5): Green bay. The Vikings haven’t beaten anyone good. I am sure that Aaron Rodgers would eat Farve’s children a la Iron Mike, if he could, so I think a Packer’s victory is MONEY IN THE BANK!

Honestly im pretty impressed. There is only one thing wrong with this picture. Your irrational hatred of the 49ers.

The vikings beat a GOOD 49ers squad. Thus you are underestimating them. You dont think that big victory shut up all the Farve haters in the Minny locker room? You dont think that all the players are buying what he is selling now? This is "your money going into my bank" pick of the week. Farve is going to beat his old team. At home. In primetime. By a lot.

Almost by as much as the 49ers are going to beat the rams. At home you dont think the 49ers will dominate the #32 team in power ranking. the 49ers are really angry after being robbed of a 3-0 start. The rams give up 150 yards rushing every week. Even Coffee can gash this squad. And the 49ers only give up 67 rushing yards a game. even after seeing AP. Take stephen jackson out of your fantasy rotation this week, people. It will only lead to sadness. Niners might beat them by 20.

you are also wrong about Denver, but i a'int mad atcha..
