NFL Picks Week 4: Green Bay Packers and 3 Teams Guaranteed to Win

Week 4 of the 2011 NFL season features some unseasonably one-sided matchups, which is good for gamblers but not for fans who like good games.

Of course, if you're a gambling fan, it's probably just as well that the games be easy to pick one way or another so you can make some money and get back to enjoying the less-predictable excitement on the slate.

If you've got a few bucks to spare, don't be afraid to plunk 'em down on these three teams this week.

Green Bay Packers

The Broncos have kept it close in each of their first three games, losing twice by three points and winning once by two.

That figures to change against the Packers, who are far better as a team than the Raiders, Bengals or Titans. Denver's defense has yet to face the sort of onslaught that Aaron Rodgers and his arsenal of receivers, backs and whatever you'd prefer to call Jermichael Finley will surely rain upon it.

Put the game in the friendly confines of Lambeau Field and you end up with one glaring conclusion that even Kyle Orton's neck beard is helpless to dissuade—that Green Bay is on its way to a 4-0 start.

New York Giants

Somehow, someway, the Giants keep winning, though this week the formula for success isn't such a surprise. Rather than having to knock out Michael Vick or prey on Sam Bradford and his helpless Rams, the G-Men need only show up just long enough for the Cardinals to shoot themselves in the foot with mistakes.

Arizona's Week 1 win over Carolina is looking luckier and luckier with each game played. Kevin Kolb has been patently average so far, though still much better than John Skelton, Max Hall and Derek Anderson combined. That being said, he'll be beaten, bloodied and bruised by Big Blue's ferocious pass rush to the point where he'll wish that he were still backing up Vick.

Which wouldn't be such a bad job, considering Kolb would get to play. 

New Orleans Saints

The Saints are currently 2-1, but even that belies just how good this team really is. Drew Brees has been on fire in the early going, with nine touchdowns passes and more than 1,000 yards passing through three games. He'll continue his roll against a Jaguars pass defense that's given up solid games to Matt Hasselbeck and Mark Sanchez thus far.

Meanwhile, Jacksonville will have its fingers crossed that rookie Blaine Gabbert doesn't get his head knocked off by New Orleans defensive coordinator Gregg Williams' aggressive scheme, which will shower the kid with a blizzard of blitzes.

In other words, geaux, Saints, geaux!
