NFL Week 4 Predictions

Just like some teams in the NFL, my predictions are an up and down fiasco.  After a rough week 2 going 7-9 I rebounded with an 11-5 week mark.  This is our first bye week of the season and six teams will be off in week number 4 including the impressive 3-0 Cincinnati Bengals.  Let's not waste any more time, here are my week 4 predictions.

Giants (1-2) @ Redskins (1-2)
Both team are in desperate need of a win with the way Philadelphia is playing.  Kirk Cousins played great last week putting up huge numbers.  Short weeks always favor the home side, should be the same here, Cousins could be gaining more steam as the Redskins QB.
PREDICTION: Redskins

Bills (2-1) @ Texans (2-1)
I wanted to believe in the Bills but last week at home they looked bad against the San Diego Chargers.  Houston is playing over their heads right now and though I believe they will win, I don't think Houston can keep this good start going.
PREDICTION: Texans

Packers (1-2) @ Bears (2-1)
Green Bay is one of the frustrating teams of the 2014 season.  How they only managed 7 points against the Lions is still head scratching.  Chicago has 2 wins but not sure how impressive they are yet.  Green Bay needs this more than Chicago, Rodgers gets it right this week.
PREDICTION: Packers

Lions (2-1) @ Jets (1-2)
The Jets are the Jets, they probably had a good chance to beat the Bears last week, but Geno Smith's ineffectiveness led to a loss.  Its feels weird believing in the Lions, but its more stable than the Jets.
PREDICTION: Lions

Titans (1-2) @ Colts (1-2)
After a nice week 1 win I thought Tennessee might have a decent season but back to back tough losses have them in a little tailspin.  The Colts got right by playing Jacksonville, but then again which team doesn't.  Could be another cake walk for Andrew Luck and the Colts.
PREDICTION: Colts

Dolphins (1-2) @ Raiders (0-3)
Miami is another squad who had an impressive week 1 win but has since cooled off.  The Raiders have not looked good but that's not surprising to anyone.  Miami should get back to .500.
PREDICTION: Dolphins

Buccaneers (0-3) @ Steelers (2-1)
Tampa is off to a horrendous start, which is a little surprising I thought Tampa would put up a little more fight.  Pittsburgh is coming off a demolition of the Carolina Panthers and this week shouldnt be any different.
PREDICTIONS: Steelers

Panthers (2-1) @ Ravens (2-1)
Steve Smith Sr. playing against his former team should be must see TV.  Especially since Smith is playing some really good football with the Ravens.  Friendly suggestion, if you have Steve Smith Sr. on your fantasy team you might want to play him this week.
PREDICTION: Ravens

Jaguars (0-3) @ Chargers (2-1)
Unfortunately, every week Jacksonville plays I'm going to predict a big win for the opposition.  No difference this week, San Diego big in this one.  Although I do like that Bortles will be the starter for the rest of the season.
PREDICTION: Chargers

Falcons (2-1) @ Vikings (1-2)
The Vikings have been all over the headlines but not because of football.  Teddy Bridewater is now the guy after Matt Cassel went down with an injury.  Atlanta destroyed Tampa 10 days ago, giving the Falcons extra time to prepare could be dangerous for Minnesota.
PREDICTION: Falcons

Eagles (3-0) @ 49ers (1-2)
San Francisco is in desperate need of a win after losing to the Cardinals last week.  Philly has been a pleasant surprise to start the season.  Philly however has had to overcome at least a 10 point deficit in every game, eventually that's going to catch up to them.  SF can't afford to start 0-2 in their brand new stadium.
PREDICTION: 49ers

Saints (1-2) @ Cowboys (2-1)
New Orleans is better than their 1-2 record and I don't think Dallas is as good as their 2-1 record.  I like to think that Drew Brees and the Saints offense will have a field day with Dallas' poor defense.
PREDICTION: Saints

Patriots (2-1) @ Chiefs (1-2)
So far it doesn't look like the same old Patriots despite the 2-1 start, and their struggles against Oakland last week raised some eyebrows.  KC got a much needed win over Miami last week who have given New England its only loss this season, so because of that, why not I like KC at home on Monday night.
PREDICTION: Chiefs

Week 3 Record: 11-5

Overall Season Record: 29-19
