NFL Predictions Week 4: 3 Quarterbacks Who Will Dominate

Looking at the ridiculous passing numbers across the league, it's easy that the NFL is a quarterback's league in 2011.

Following up on that standard, these three signal-callers will drop some crazy numbers in Week 4.

Ryan Fitzpatrick

The Harvard grad (all media members are, seemingly, contractually obligated to mention this) has been the catalyst of Buffalo's utterly dominant and shocking 3-0 start.

Fitzpatrick has made dramatic improvements to his game this year and it's showing in the box scores. Through three games he's already thrown for 841 yards and nine touchdowns, tying him with Matthew Stafford and Drew Brees for second in the NFL.

This week he faces a Bengals defense that is ranked fifth in the league in passing yards allowed. Of course, it's easy to rank in the top five in that category when you've played against Colt McCoy, Kyle Orton and Alex Smith.

The Bengals have yet to face a quarterback of Fitzpatrick's caliber and I expect him to shred them for close to 300 yards and two or three scores.

Matthew Stafford

The young Stafford has shown incredible poise this season and proving what he is capable of when helthy, leading the upstart Lions to a 3-0 start. This is a hell of an accomplishment given that the Lions have been god-awful since the Clinton administration.

Stafford has thrown for at least 294 yards and two touchdowns in all three games this season and I'm predicting similar success against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

When you've got Calvin Johnson to throw to, you better put up some big numbers. Stafford won't disappoint in Week 4.

Phillip Rivers

Personally, I can't stand Phillip Rivers, but there is no denying that the dude is incredibly talented. He's averaging 326.3 passing yards per game and a matchup against Miami's porous pass defense should yield similar results.

Rivers has been unusually turnover-prone this season, throwing two interceptions in each game thus far.

However, I expect him to be more crisp on Sunday.
