NFL Week 4 2019: Picks and predictions
Seattle Seahawks (-5) at Arizona Cardinals
The Seahawks (2-1) are coming off a hideous loss to the Saints. Now, they take on the Cardinals (0-2-1) who can’t block and struggle to stop anybody. Seattle needs to win this game, and will.
Pick: Seattle 24, Arizona 20
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Los Angeles Rams (-10)
The Rams (3-0) have not been terrific offensively by any stretch, but the defense is solid and the talent is there for a breakout. Also, the Buccaneers (1-2) are coming off a crushing loss and now flying across the country.
Pick: Los Angeles 33, Tampa Bay 23
Jacksonville Jaguars at Denver Broncos (-3)
I want to pick the Jaguars (1-2). Gardner Minshew has been legitimately awesome. The Broncos (0-3) are winless and the defense is yet to generate a sack or turnover. Still, playing in Mile High is a tough chore.
Pick: Denver 16, Jacksonville 14
Minnesota Vikings at Chicago Bears (-2.5)
The Bears (2-1) and Vikings (2-1) are similar teams. This comes down to whether Kirk Cousins and and Mitch Trubisky can elevate their games. Smart money says Cousins is more likely to do it.
Pick: Minnesota 22, Chicago 21
Dallas Cowboys (-2.5) at New Orleans Saints
The Cowboys (3-0) have been the best team in the NFC. Now, they face their first quasi-test in the Saints (2-1), who are hoping Teddy Bridgewater can do his best Drew Brees imitation for another month.
Pick: Dallas 28, New Orleans 24
Cincinnati Bengals at Pittsburgh Steelers (-4)
Oh dear God.
Pick: Pittsburgh 20, Cincinnati 17
Last Week: 10-6
