Thursday Night

Cowboys (-6) vs. Giants

Score Prediction: 33-22

The Cowboys are coming off an ugly loss to the Ravens where they made the score less ugly in the final seconds. While I still believe this team is the same old Cowboys, by no means does that believe they will drop a regular season matchup to the Giants. The Giants are coming off their first win of the season against the Browns and it would put the Cowboys in an extremely difficult position to win the division if they lose this one. Especially with how Jayden Daniels is playing in DC. I expect Devin Singletary to have a game on this poor Cowboys run defense, but I also expect Dak Prescott to move the ball at will leading the Boys’ to victory.

Sunday’s Slate

Saints (+2.5) vs. Falcons

Score Prediction: 31-20

Give me the Saints to continue to prove the haters wrong in a game I think Alvin Kamara shows off his ability in the open field. I have this one not being close and the underdog Saints taking a much deserved victory. Look for Shaheed to get going again in this one.

Bengals (-4.5) vs. Panthers

Score Prediction: 28-27

The Bengals need this one. After starting the season 0-3 they find themselves matched up with one of the best looking teams from week 3 the Carolina Panthers. This Panthers team looks like a new one with Andy Dalton at the helm making seamless passes and trusting his receivers. If this Bengals defense performs the way they did against the Commanders they are in for a long day. However with all that said, I trust Joey B to go and get the Bengals this win and remind everyone of the player that was once in top 5 QB conversations before his injury.

Broncos (+7.5) vs. Jets

Score Prediction: 16-23

Broncos find themselves as seven point underdogs after coming off of a huge blowout win against one of the league's best in the Tampa Bay Bucs. The Jets on the other hand might be putting this offense together, but each time we believe this it seems they take two steps back. Give me the Broncos to cover the spread in this one, but I still have them losing on the road.

Jaguars (+6) vs. Texans

Score Prediction: 24-27

The Jags have come out to an extremely slow start to the season, whether the excuse is strength of schedule or whatever they don’t have much time to figure it out. Facing the Texas on the road is a tough matchup for these Jags even though the Texans offense has been struggling. I think it's safe to bet on the Jags here in a close matchup. However, I do believe the Texas will pull through and avoid the upset.

Vikings (+2.5) vs. Packers

Score Prediction: 24-17

At this point both of these teams have made it very hard to bet against them. The Vikings go into week 4 with a 3-0 record after knocking off some of the league’s best, while the Packers have managed to stay afloat after Jordan love’s injury. Malik Willis is a fun guy to watch, but I have the Vikings covering the spread and winning this one.

Steelers (-2) vs. Colts

Score Prediction: 20-19

Anthony Richardson has struggled in the two weeks leading up to this game and its tough to think its gonna get any better. Against a top three Steelers defense the Colts recent trend of lackluster offense production is here to stay. I have Justin Fields leading this Steelers team to 4-0 after beating the Colts. 

Rams vs. Bears (-3)

Score Prediction: 16-20

This is a fun one! A quarterback with only backup receivers and another quarterback with some of the best weapons in the league who just can’t figure it out. I have the Bears defense stepping up in this one to get the win. Caleb Williams needs to prove why he was the #1 overall pick and not Jayden Daniels.

Eagles (-2.5) vs. Buccaneers

Score Prediction: 31-27

Eagles will beat the Bucs in this one. I think this Bucs team is really good and can win a sneaky playoff game, but it's about time the Eagles find their stride. This team is absolutely stacked. In matchups like this when the Bucs defense has a lot of injuries is a perfect time to show exactly what those weapons are capable of. Give me the Eagles in a close one.

Patriots (+10) vs. 49ers

Score Prediction: 13-19

I have the Patriots covering the spread in this one. Though I would love to see the 49ers get off to a hot start and find their playmakers I think the Patriots will contian this offense better than we assume. I have the Patriots losing by six to cover the spread.

Commanders (+3.5) vs. Cardinals

Score Prediction: 34-41

I think Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison Jr connect for over 125+ yards and the other guys get involved as well in a high scoring victory for Arizona. Jayden Daniels will continue to show us why he should’ve been picked 1st overall and light up the stat sheet. I have Arizona covering the spread at home.

Chiefs (-7) vs. Chargers

Score Prediction: 24-13

This will come as no suprise to anyone that follows the AFC West, but I’m taking the chiefas in this one. Rashee Rice looks unstoppable through three weeks and I don’t think that stops against a 2-1 Chargers team. Give me the Chiefs to win this one by double digits.

Browns vs. Raiders (-2)

Score Prediction: 10-13

As optimistic I have been about the Raiders week in and week out, I think  this is a favorable matchup fir them. Facing a struggling O-Line and QB this defensive front for the Raiders could look to take advantage of some mismatches. Give the the Raiders in a boring matchup.

Bills vs. Ravens (-2.5)

Score Prediction: 23-31

I have the Ravens pulling away with the victory in this one coming off of a huge win against the Cowboys last week. The Bills are as good as they can be going into this matchup and I think they will meet a tough competitor come Sunday night. This Ravens team is just starting to get it rolling and once they do, they are going to be among the toughest teams to stop. I have them covering the two and a half point spread.

Monday Night

Titans (+1) vs. Dolphins

Score Prediction: 19-6

Give me the Titans to beat the Dolphins at home. This Titans team has been close in a few tough games thus far. I think they get the win they have been yearning for in this one. Dolphins look lost without Tua and in order to survive in a stacked AFC they need to find a way to get the run game going.

Seahawks vs. Lions (-3.5)

Score Prediction: 17-35

In this game I think we see the Lions at their full potential. It’s about time we have seen production form Sam Laporta and consistency from Amon-Ra. I have a blowout in this one on Monday night where the Lions dominate the spread.
