After months of buildup, the 2020 NFL season is now in full swing.
Week 3 saw several big-time individual performances, and a few contenders begin to separate themselves from the rest of the pretenders.
Here are my best bets heading into the Week 4 slate of games.
Season Record: 13-10-1
Odds via BetMGM as of October 4, 2020.
Seattle Seahawks (-5.5)
Russell Wilson is the NFL MVP through three weeks, and the Dolphins are still the Dolphins. I’m not buying into the long travel week or injury to Jamal Adams narratives when it comes to the Seahawks here.
Seattle by a touchdown in this one.
Baltimore Ravens (-13.5)
This will be a bounce-back game for Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. The Redskins obviously aren’t a great team, and Rookie of the Year candidate Chase Young won’t be playing.
Look for a huge win from Baltimore here.
Arizona Cardinals (-3)
Arizona laid an egg against the Detroit Lions in Week 3, but I am expecting a big-time bounce back in Week 4 from Kyler Murray and Co. against the Carolina Panthers.
Don’t be surprised to see Kliff Kingsbury’s offense put up 40+ points in this one as they cruise to a comfortable victory.
Browns/Cowboys over 54.5 points
This game will be a good, old-fashioned shootout. Both teams have loads of talent on the offensive side of the ball, and neither team has been particularly strong on defense.
Look for both teams to score right around 30 (or more) points.
Chargers/Buccaneers over 42 points
This one doesn’t need much explanation. This point total is simply too low for these teams, even with a rookie quarterback making his third career start for Los Angeles. Expect a 27-20 type of game here.
Los Angeles Rams (-13)
It’s no secret that the Giants are a complete mess right now. And while the Rams aren’t a top-tier NFL team, they are still two touchdowns better here. Expect Sean McVay to guide his offense to another 30+ point performance today.
Chicago Bears (+3)
Nick Foles is in for Chicago, and I like him better than Philip Rivers on the other side.
Expect to see an offensive improvement and dominant defensive performance from the Bears in this one.
Bills/Raiders under 53.5 points
The Bills should score around 28 points on the Raiders defense, while the improved Las Vegas offense should have some success here. I’m predicting a final score here of 28-24 in favor of Buffalo — making the spread (Bills -3) attractive as well.
