NFL Picks Week 4: Which Results Are Sure to Vex Vegas?

When making bets on games it's always easier said than done.

So for those having some trouble a making picks, here are three games that are sure to vex the Vegas line this week.

Click the link for a full view of the NFL Week 4 line.

Detroit Lions (Underdog) at Dallas Cowboys (Favorite) -1.5

Had the Cowboys lost on Monday night, then this line may very well have been the exact opposite.

In any event, Tony Romo is getting healthier but, WR Dez Bryant may be out this week along with Miles Austin.

Even if both play it's still going to be a tough game for Dallas to win, but having one if not both out is going to be very difficult.

Detroit wins the game, but it's by more than 1.5 points so to be safe, take the Lions because Dallas beating Washington at home was big, but the Lions are a much better opponent than the Redskins.

St. Louis Rams (Underdog) vs. Washington Redskins (Favorite) -2

The main reason why the Rams must be the underdog has to be based because of the smashing they received against Baltimore at home in Week 3.

That said, the Redskins fell back to earth after losing to the Dallas Cowboys on the road and are a vulnerable bunch heading into Week 4.

Washington still has to prove they can win on the road, and how you respond after a loss can be very telling.

As for St. Louis, they have a lot of young potential and we see that this week as they are hungry for a win.

Rams will win by more than two points, thus causing more headaches for those partial to the favorites.

Oakland Raiders (Underdog) vs. New England Patriots (Favorite) -4

Even though the Raiders bested the Pats' AFC East rival New York in Week 3, Oakland is still the underdog at home in Week 4.

And that's unfortunate, because the Raiders right now are clearly playing as the better team, not to mention they can actually run the ball and play at least some defense.

Make no mistake about it however, Tom Brady is going to get his numbers and prolifically move the ball this week.

He's not going to throw four picks, but with Darren McFadden pounding the rock against a weak Bill Belichick defense, the Raiders control the clock all game and limit Brady's chances.

In turn, Oakland wins by more than four points as Run DMC gets some free publicity since McFadden's nickname becomes more popular from the NFL's game of the week.
