NFL picks--Week 4

Last week: 11-5
Season record: 29-19

The kid is rounding into mid-season form.  Of course, that doesn't mean that there aren't wild surprises abounding in this league.  With that, here are the Week 4 picks.....

NY Giants at Washington--I am gently patting myself on the back for picking my Giants last week when pretty much no one else did.  This week, ehh, I have a feeling that bad Eli will return and Kirk Cousins will pick them apart.  Redskins 35, Giants 31

Green Bay at Chicago--Is Aaron Rodgers trying to hypnotize fans into sleeping through his team's crappy play?  They sure haven't shown much but they do tend to play well against the Bears.  Packers 27, Bears 24

Tennessee at Indianapolis--After a dreadful 0-2 start, the Colts can get back on track and they for sure will.  Colts 27, Titans 13

Miami vs. Oakland at London--It's laughable that the two teams we send over there are teams with a combined 1-5 record that may be worse than that.  Raiders 20, Dolphins 14

Detroit at NY Jets--It's hard not to like what the Lions are doing, but they may struggle against the Jets' D.  Still, the Jets continue to find ways to lose games and the Lions are just too good in all phases.  Lions 28, Jets 20

Tampa Bay at Pittsburgh--Despite the Bucs having ten days to prep for this one, the rejuvenated Steelers are going to trounce them.  Mike Glennon, huh?  Steelers 31, Bucs 17

Carolina at Baltimore--There is no way Steve Smith will be on my fantasy bench this weekend.  Actually the way he's playing he might be a must play every week but this one will have a bit more meaning.  Ravens 23, Panthers 20

Buffalo at Houston--At least Buffalo is done with the false hope thing.  Houston, meanwhile, I can't figure out how they got just shredded that badly by the Giants.  Texans 26, Bills 20

Jacksonville at San Diego--I get the feeling we're going to have to take the Chargers seriously, but not the Jags.  Chargers 37, Jaguars 17

Atlanta at Minnesota--Some NFL talking head commented yesterday on how badly Matt Ryan plays outside of domes.  That said, it will be 82 degrees and sunny on Sunday in Minneapolis so something else will determine this game--namely the Vikings' D under Mike Zimmer.  Vikings 19, Falcons 16

Philadelphia at San Francisco--I don't think the Niners are this bad, are they?  I also think the Eagles may be for real but Chip Kelly's luck will run out Sunday.  Niners 24, Eagles 23

New Orleans at Dallas--Everyone sure liked the Saints before the season started, before they promptly went 0-2 before limping to a win against Minnesota at home.  Now Drew Brees faces a putrid Dallas secondary and Rob Ryan will try to stop his former team.  I'm not a betting man, but I'd take the over if I was.  Saints 41, Cowboys 38

New England at Kansas City--I really wonder what the Monday Night Football schedulers are thinking sometimes.  Patriots 26, Chiefs 19
