NFL Week Four
Thursday, Sept. 29
8:25 p.m. ET Dolphins at Bengals. The Dolphins got in the win column last week against the no-luck Browns. While the Bungles have struggled, there's nothing for a team's fortunes like having the Phish come to town. Bengals.
Sunday, Oct. 2
9:30 a.m. ET Colts at Jaguars. The Jags are better than last year but that still hasn't translated to a win. The Colts... I don't know, but I think Andrew Luck will come up with enough for a win in London-town. Colts!
1 p.m. ET Titans at Texans. JJ Watt - OUT! Too bad. On the positive side, it's just the Titans. Texans.
1 p.m. ET Browns at Redskins 'Skins surprised me - and a lot of other people! - last week in New York, and basically saved their season. And now they are rewarded with the Brownies coming to visit. Redskins.
1 p.m. ET Seahawks at Jets Seahawks - Home are a different team from Seahawks - Road. But c'mon... it's only the Jets. Even with a less-than-one-hundred-per-cent Russell Wilson. Seahawks.
1 p.m. ET Bills at Patriots Pats at home against an AFC East division opponent? Last time they lost in that situation was ....2006??? I don't know who is playing QB for New England, and frankly I don't care and don't think it matters. Patriots.
1 p.m. ET Panthers at Falcons After stumbling in Week 1, the Falcons are suddenly looking pretty good. And the Panthers? Losing at home - convincingly! - to the Vikings?! Even though on the road, I don't think Cam is gonna lose two in a row. Panthers.
1 p.m. ET Raiders at Ravens Ravens have been 'just-good-enough' each of the first three weeks to win and are 3 - 0. The Raiders - your 2016 playoff bound Raiders! - now visit. Despite the early start time for Oakland, they come through. Better D than either Cleveland or Jacksonville, and also some big weapons on O. Raiders.
1 p.m. ET Lions at Bears Lions showed something last week, almost pulling off the big comeback against the Packers. This week they won't need such a comeback.... they'll put the Bears away easily. Lions.
4:05 p.m. ET Broncos at Buccaneers The Broncos will put the Buckos away easily. Broncos.
4:25 p.m. ET Rams at Cardinals Two teams for which 'consistency' seems to be an unknown concept. Cardinals got waxed by the Bills, Rams lost to the Bucs. But .... in Bruce Arians and Carson Palmer I trust! Cardinals!
4:25 p.m. ET Saints at Chargers Hmm hmm hmm....Saints keep finding ways to lose. Maybe this week they'll get it right against the Bolts. Saints.
4:25 p.m. ET Cowboys at 49ers No way I'm taking the Niners! Plus, Dak Prescott just keeps getting better. Cowboys!
8:30 p.m. ET Chiefs at Steelers The Men-of-Steel will rebound from that horrible loss to their cross-state rivals last week. Steelers.
Monday, Oct. 3
8:30 p.m. ET Giants at Vikings Giants hopefully learned something last week. Giants!
