Here are picks and predictions for Week 4 of the NFL season.

Every week, Don Banks of Sports Illustrated teams up with ScoreBig to preview the NFL schedule. The fourth week of the NFL season brings about the first round of bye games, so there are less games than usual.

Banks has a pretty good track record this season, with a 29-19 record and roughly a .600 win percentage. Last week Banks was particularly on the money going 11-5, so chances are he is more likely to be on the money than off.

Banks also nearly accurately predicted the score of the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints game, off by a point on each team’s score.

There are a lot of question marks regarding injuries this week that could impact Banks’ picks and make them trickier. Will Arian Foster return for the Houston Texans? Is Jay Cutler still going to be out for the New Orleans Saints?

Add in that teams are still trying to establish their identities and it could be a rough week.

Here are Banks’ predictions:

  • Atlanta 27 – Houston 13
  • Buffalo 30 – New York Giants 21
  • Oakland 24 – Chicago 17
  • Cincinnati 26 – Kansas City 20
  • Indianapolis 34 – Jaguars 23
  • Carolina 23 – Tampa Bay 17
  • Philadelphia 26 – Washington 18
  • San Diego 24 – Cleveland 17
  • Arizona 33 – St. Louis 17
  • Denver 27 – Minnesota 20
  • Green Bay 31 – San Francisco 21
  • New Orleans 28 – Dallas 24
  • Seattle 33 – Detroit 16
