NFL Picks Week 4: Which Teams Are the Week's Worst Bets?

Making a bad bet could really be damaging to your confidence when wanting to win some dough.

And with betting going on with each week of pro football, there's bound to be some bad choices.

So to help avoid from placing a bad bet in Week 4, here are three teams to avoid based on the current lines.

Cincinnati Bengals

Right now the Buffalo Bills are -3 against the Bengals, but based on how quickly the tides have turned in Cincy, they won't stay within three of the Bills.

The Bengals are too young and inexperienced despite the potential to keep up with the electrifying Buffalo offense.

It may be close at first glance since Cincinnati has a solid defense, but that's not going to make up for their lack of offense.

Not to mention they continue to have off-the-field issues that transition onto the field.

And if the Bills only win by three points, then they significantly underachieved.

Denver Broncos

The Broncos are 12-point underdogs heading into their Week 4 matchup with the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.

Now although the Broncos defense has significantly improved since 2010, they're still not going to be able to shut down the Green Bay offense for a full game.

On the other hand, their offense won't be very successful versus a more confident Packers defense that did start 2011 off slow but regained a lot of momentum after Week 3.

And think about the line.

All Aaron Rodgers and company have to do is score two touchdowns.

It's not out of the question that the Packers defense won't blank the Denver offense, so if you go any direction this game, take the Packers because they will win by more than 12 points.

New York Jets

So far in 2011 the Jets have been underperforming to say the least.

Sure they have wins over Jacksonville and Dallas, but neither of those two teams have yet to really figure out their identity.

As for Rex Ryan and Co., last season they lost to the Ed Reed-less Ravens by a 10-9 score at home.

This time around, though, Baltimore is playing with a lot more tenacity (Tennessee was a hiccup), and with Ed Reed back, Mark Sanchez won't be very effective.

Then count the fact that the Jets are having trouble in the trenches (both rush offense and defense), and that only plays more into the Ravens' favor.

The Jets are 3.5-point underdogs, but Baltimore wins by at least one TD.
