NFL Picks Week 4: New England Patriots and 3 Bounce-Back Specials

The New England Patriots are the most terrifying team coming off a loss.

Not only does Bill Belichick whip his guys into shape better than any coach in the league, but they are a team of veterans led by the ultimate leader, Tom Brady.

Consider the fact that Brady cut his long locks of love after losing to the Bills, and perhaps you will understand why they are so terrifying.

The Patriots hate losing and they mean business.

The worst possible team to be is the team that plays the Patriots after a loss.

New England isn't the only team that will bounce back from a loss with a vengeance, though.

Here are the bounce-back specials for Week 4:

New England Patriots

Isn't it scary how the Patriots can lose a game, yet still put up record numbers? Brady threw for almost 400 yards yet again on his way to four touchdown passes. Wes Welker caught a franchise-high 16 catches that totaled to 216 yards and two touchdowns. The Raiders don't stand a chance, even at home.

Houston Texans

The Texans have a tough matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but I think they are primed to win. Coming off a big loss to New Orleans on the road, the Texans will be back at home and should have Arian Foster back and finally healthy. I expect Andre Johnson to have a very good game as well.

Washington Redskins

Not many people believe in the Redskins, but count me as one of the few that is firmly on their bandwagon. Rex Grossman has started to develop into a good quarterback, and the running game will undoubtedly be good with Mike Shanahan calling the shots. The Rams are banged up and nothing seems to be going right for them. I believe the Redskins can go on the road and reclaim their swagger. Their division is still up for grabs, and they have a shot at it.
