Best matchup for week 4

Schmoopy1000 · Sep 25, 2018

Vikes arent going to have 2 bad games in a row.... Right? The Rams lost both of their starting DBs?
This is the game that matters most for end of season seeding. It is the game I picked. & usually both these teams are more entertaining than what I feel is the 2nd most interesting game.

Dolphins/ pats.
But to be honest the only reason this game is interesting to me. is if the Dolphins figure out how to win it, they are 3.5 games ahead of the pats. (realistically) That will make the late run the Pats do every year interesting. Can they make up that many games in 3/4's of a season.

I'm going homer in this one.

BAL & PIT...Not the national appeal it once had, but this is still a very heated DIV rivalry. With PIT having swept the Ravens LY and their OFC looking much improved this year to go with a normally reliable DEF...this will be a tough game in PIT.

MIN @ LAR could be a pretty good game, but I feel the spanking the Vikings took from BUF will have a lasting effect. Coupled with the road team typically struggling as the season wears on in these TNF games...this one might be a two possession game in the 4Q.

looking at some of the early odds, one seems 'off' to me ...... what am i missing?

colts -1.5 at home vs the texans -- this line basically means vegas thinks the texans are better than the colts on a neutral field? i know the colts aren't great but they're definitely a step above the texans, right?

if i hadn't looked first, i would've guessed the colts would have been 5 pt favorites ... (about 2 pt faves on a neutral field)

Vegas is gonna continue setting lines on the Texans more on their talent level and less on their record. Luck looks finished and shockingly it's the Colts defense that has kept them competitive. Texans talent speaks to a team that is not supposed to be 0-3, and that's how they are setting the line

Vikings/Rams - After the horrid showing by Cousins and the Vikes I'm curious to see how they'll do here. Nice $84M fully guaranteed QB, Minnesota.

Ravens/Steelers - This is basically a must win game for Pittsburgh. That defense is a HUGE liability. I don't see the Steelers going deep this year in the playoffs if they even reach it at all (which IMO needs to be a win in this game).

Dolphins/Pats - Dolphins are 3-0. It'll be interesting to see if they can hang with the Pats at home and continue to lead the division.

well, one would think that the Texans 'should' be playing better than they are ....

The Phins @ Pats game will be telling, as many have said. This game could very well spell the end of the Pats torture chamber in AFCE. Times a changing.

Bears D v TB O

Should be interesting to watch. Who's for real.

Vikings Rams.
Always interesting to see a good team after they have gotten blown out. Many had the Vikes going to the SB.
Rams are experts conensus best team in the league.
Intriguing matchup.

Honestly, I kind of expect the Vikings to win this one by double digits even if I think LA has a great team. Rams are banged up on D and the Vikings just got embarrassed.

You're right. I have a feeling NE comes out strong on OFC early...if MIA can withstand that and keep it a 1 poss game in the 2nd half, it will be interesting. I'm still not sure what kind of DEF NE has yet but I'm kinda thinking NE wins this game...it might be a 6 pt margin....have to see how Tannys 70+ comp % holds up in this game.

The Bears have a solid DEF...adding Mack gives them that special player that you have to game plan for...if Fitz starts and he should imo, they have to get him moving his feet...PIT did in the 1st half and he threw some loose balls, one tipped. They're not great on the OL curious to see how pass/pro holds up.

Bucs OFC started so hot and even in their only loss still scored 27, but have imo they have a more sustainable DEF, but the ranking won't be as high. The front 7 is playoff caliber, the back end is not imo.

they are now saying Marcus Peters might play ...

No idea what the best game will be but the Patriots pretty much have a must-win divisional game so I'm picking that.

I think that makes it not a great game, with the Pats scoring early and winning easily. Not to disrespect the 3-0 Dolphins, but it's the Patriots thing; they're due.

Not sure it's advisable though. Rams have some solid depth at corner.

Marcus Peters is a game time decision

It's probably going to be awfully one sided again this week, but I'll be looking to see how NFL pass rushers match-up against the referees.

Bears have no penalty,s for ruffing the passer and lead the league in sacks. Tell Clay to watch a Bears game and learn from it.
