Well, here we are, the week with the game that everyone circled as soon as the schedule was announced back in the spring…The Return! I think we are all looking forward to see the reception the scorned city will give. Cheers? Boos? Tears? We’ll all find out in prime time…on Monday when the Raiders return to Los Angeles after playing nearly 15 season there a few decades ago.
What? … … … is there a more relevant and timely return this week?
Week 4 – HERE WE GO!!!!
(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)
16 – BUFFALO over Houston – Deshaun Watson isn’t walking through that door anytime soon…and it probably wouldn’t help anyway.
15 – CINCINNATI over Jacksonville – After this week, Trevor Lawrence will have lost as many games in four weeks in the NFL as he did in his entire time in college…AND high school!
14 – Tennessee over NEW YORK JETS – No AJ Brown, possibly no Julio Jones…but if you still have Derrick Henry, the Jets won’t be a problem.
13 – GREEN BAY over Pittsburgh – Safe to say the Steelers front office is realizing that this era is coming to an end. My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that THE STEELERS WILL FINISH UNDER .500.
12 – Baltimore over DENVER – Can’t play the bottom of the league’s barrel every week, Denver.
11 – Tampa Bay over NEW ENGLAND – I wonder if Gronk is sad that no one outside of his family is talking about HIS return to Gillette Stadium.
10 – NEW ORLEANS over New York Giants – I really want to think that this will be a good game…but then I remember…the Giants.
9 – DALLAS over Carolina – This will definitely be a game where the Panthers miss Christian McCaffrey.
8 – MIAMI over Indianapolis - The Colts should be better than they are. If they turn it around this year, it won’t start this week.
7 – Seattle over SAN FRANCISCO – It’s hard for me to think Seattle will lose three games in a row. After last week, it’s pretty easy for me to think that the 9ers can blow a game again.
6 – LOS ANGELES RAMS over Arizona – These two teams are just going to be fun to watch! If you are a bettor, take the over!
5 – Las Vegas over LOS ANGELES CHARGERS – Yes it’s a “road” game, but SoFi Stadium is expected to be 75% Raiders fans on Monday Night.
4 – Kansas City over PHILADELPHIA – It might sound crazy, but then again maybe it doesn’t. If you wanted to pick the Eagles to win this game, I wouldn’t be mad at you!
3 – MINNESOTA over Cleveland – If Dalvin Cook is ready to go, you can bump this up a few lines if you want.
2 – Washington over ATLANTA – I have nothing entertaining to say here…which is pretty fitting for this matchup I think.
1 – CHICAGO over Detroit – It’s a no-lose situation for Bears fans. If you win, hey you won a football game! If not, then it’s hard to see Matt Nagy on the sidelines for Week 5 let alone a new Arlington Heights stadium!
Please wait...
