NFL Picks Week 4: Detroit Lions and 11 Teams That Will Continue Win Streaks
Getting on a win streak in sports is arguably the most important thing next to actually playing together as a team.
In football however, it is even more vital because unlike wrestling, baseball or basketball, your opportunities are significantly limited by comparison to the number of matches/games.
Each game in football becomes more important than the last, and heading into Week 4 10 teams have a win streak of two or more games.

Projecting Every NFL Team's Starting Lineup 🔮
Rookie WRs Who Will Outplay Their Draft Value 📈
Obviously barring a tie there's always going to be 16 winners, but nonetheless getting hot is important.
So with all that said, here are 11 teams who continue their win streaks in Week 4.
It's no surprise that the Packers are 3-0 right now, and in Week 4 they play host to the 1-2 Denver Broncos.
The Broncos are in dire straits offensively despite an improved defense, but they're still no match for Green Bay.
Packers 34, Broncos 13
In Week 3 the Bills made a ridiculous comeback victory over AFC East rival New England at home, and are flying with more confidence than ever.
This week Buffalo makes the short trip to Cincinnati and plays the self-inflicted Bengals.
Cincy's defense is tough, but Buffalo just has too much confidence and firepower to keep pace with.
Bills 28, Bengals 12
The Giants got a big win over Philadelphia on the road in Week 3, and are taking that momentum to Arizona in Week 4.
After three games the Cardinals have been disappointing, especially after some of their offseason improvements on both sides of the ball.
New York keeps rolling as Arizona simply has yet to find their identity.
Giants 27, Cardinals 17
Baltimore got back on track with a thumping of St. Louis in Week 3, and now play host to the New York Jets in Week 4.
The Jets defense has been getting run all over defensively, while the offense still isn't where they need to be.
Ravens' RB Ray Rice has a big game against a weak Rex Ryan rush defense.
Ravens 24, Jets 16
Although the Browns' two wins are against winless teams, they have regained some much needed confidence heading into Week 4 against the Tennessee Titans
RB Chris Johnson is still suffering from the effects of missing training camp thanks to his holdout, and that continues in Cleveland, especially since WR Kenny Britt is out.
Browns 21, Titans 17
The Lions are becoming a complete team because they're figuring out how to win in multiple ways.
Whether it's a sound performance throughout, a complete domination or a comeback win, Detroit knows how to win, period.
This week they play at Dallas, and although the Cowboys are feeling good after a win on Monday night, Detroit is much, much better than the Washington Redskins.
Lions 28, Cowboys 20
Other than the Green Bay Packers, it doesn't look like any team has the ability to keep pace with the New Orleans Saints.
QB Drew Brees rolls over every defense, and this week his victim are the Jacksonville Jaguars.
With rookie Blaine Gabbert under center, the Saints defense welcomes him to the NFL.
Saints 37, Jaguars 19
After finally getting their first win, the Carolina Panthers now have even more confidence heading into Week 4, because they know if their effort is true, the good will take care of itself.
The Chicago Bears are their opponent, and with QB Jay Cutler continuing to disappoint along with the defense lacking, winning at Soldier Field doesn't appear to be as difficult anymore.
Panthers 24, Bears 21
Thanks to an easy early season schedule, the Bolts will be 3-1 after they defeat Miami in Week 4.
For Chargers fans this couldn't be more encouraging, as San Diego has a recent history of beginning slow.
They're doing that this season, but since the schedule is weak early, they'll get those few extra wins in 2011.
Chargers 28, Dolphins 14
The Bucs host the 0-3 Indianapolis Colts on Monday night, and even though it will be a good game, Tampa Bay knows how to win close, as evidenced by both their victories.
The Colts are improving without Peyton Manning under center, but they'll have to wait a week to get their first win.
Buccaneers 20, Colts 17
Right now the Raiders are looking like the best in the AFC West, and even though they play the New England Patriots this week, Oakland isn't scared.
Sure Tom Brady will rack up his yards and toss some TDs, but Bill Belichick's defense is very weak and Oakland's offense is going to keep Brady off the field.
The Raiders win thanks to RB Darren McFadden, despite Brady hitting his normal numbers.
Raiders 27, Patriots 24
