NFL Week 4 Quick Picks: Will the Niners Finally Show Up?

Week 4 is already upon us and, unlike last season, this year looks like a year where you can actually take an underdog now and again.

NFL Week 4 Odds: New York Jets at Buffalo Bills

After a rough start, the New York Jets have shown that, yes, they are a pretty good team and can maybe justify some of the preseason arrogance. Their Week 4 opponent is the Buffalo Bills, the only team in the AFC East that they haven’t beat so far this season.

The Bills offense finally showed up in Week 4 against the New England Patriots, scoring 30 points, but the Patriots defense is not even close to the caliber of the Jets and, while I’d take the Patriots offense over the Jets offense, the Jets will still be able to put up points against the Bills.

The Jets, at -5, look to be the play in this game.

Football Betting Blog: Denver Broncos at Tennessee Titans

The Denver Broncos have been a bit of a surprise team this season moving the ball on offense much better than anyone expected. That offense has only translated in to one win, but it gives fans in Denver something to cheer about and it gives the Broncos a chance to win games.

Their Week 4 opponent is the Tennessee Titans who were humbled by the Pittsburgh Steelers defense in Week 2. While I would not take the Titans against any of the top defenses in the league, the Broncos definitely do not have a top defense. Vince Young will get his yards, Chris Johnson will get his yards, and the Titans will get their points.

Having said that, the Tennessee defense is not exactly titanic and Denver should be able to get some points.

The Broncos at +6.5 in a shootout looks very appealing as does over 41.5.

Betting NFL Lines: San Francisco 49ers at Atlanta Falcons

Nobody expected the San Francisco 49ers to go 0-3, but here they are with a very good Atlanta Falcons team on the horizon.

It’s no secret that the Niners are killing themselves with turnovers, but that means a little more focus and they can fix things.

The Falcons are coming off of a huge high after beating the New Orleans Saints. They are a good team and they should have confidence.

That’s why I like San Fran in this one. Well, maybe not to win, but to cover as 7-point underdogs. It is within the Niners power to suddenly start playing a lot better and the Falcons will have a hard time re-focusing after the emotional victory over the Saints.
