2012 NFL WEEK 4 PICKS

2012 NFL WEEK 4 PICKS


Do Saints Have A Chance In Green Bay? Giants And Eagles Clash

RECORD 32-14
Includes Cleveland/Baltimore Game



CAROLINA (1-2) VS ATLANTA (3-0)

The Panthers have been wanting to get that New York loss out their mouth for awhile now. This Carolina team is different then last season. It nearly feels that they do not believe. They face a dangerous Atlanta team that is great at home. Matt Ryan has came into his own and he has play makers. Falcons are better in all aspects of the game.  ATL 38  CAR 20

NEW ENGLAND (1-2) VS BUFFALO (2-1)

The Patriots are off to a rare 1-2 start and they know how important this game is. After a tough loss on the road, look for the Pats to come out on all 8 cylinders. The Bills are anything but consistent. If they can put a solid game together on both sides of the ball, they have the chance to drop New England. However, I don't see that happening.  NE 31 BUF 17

MINNESOTA (2-1) VS DETROIT (1-2)

It is time to give the Vikings respect. Minnesota is a solid team and Christian Ponder has showed he can play early in his sophomore season. Detroit has had a tough schedule so far, but this is not the same team from a year ago. Detroit's defense has been awful this season and the offense has no rhythm. Look for the Vikings to pull off another upset.  MIN 24 DET 23

SAN DIEGO (2-1) VS KANSAS CITY (1-2)

San Diego was roughed up at home last week against Sunday and the Chiefs pulled off a great upset win against New Orleans. Look for Phillip Rivers and the Chargers to mount a complete turn around and dispose of the Kansas City Chiefs.  SD 31 KC 14

SAN FRANCISCO (2-1) VS NEW YORK JETS (2-1)

The 49ers did not show up last week and it cost them a win. The Jets are lucky to be 2-1 and in first place at this point of the season. This will be a tough game, a defensive battle that marks two solid defenses. Look for the 49ers to manage enough points to win yet another road game. Mark Sanchez won't be able to get the offense started.  SF 20 NYJ 10

SEATTLE (2-1) VS ST LOUIS (1-2)

Despite the given win, this Seattle team is tough. With a little help on offense, Seattle is a playoff contender. The Rams are a much better team then they were a year ago, but not by much. Seattle is tough but not so much on the road. The Rams have a slight edge in this game.  STL 20 SEA 13

TENNESSEE (1-2) VS HOUSTON (3-0)

Jake Locker has showed poise in his first starting year, but Chris Johnson remains as a no show. Houston is just on another level. The Texans are top 10 on offense ans defense. They remind me of the teams from the 90s, such as Dallas and New York. The sky is the limit for these Texans and I see no road bump here.  HOU 27 TEN 14

OAKLAND (1-2) VS DENVER (1-2)

The last thing both of these teams want is a 1-3 start. This is a big divisional game for both teams. Denver has had a brutal early schedule. Oakland has played bad, but they showed character in a big win against the Steelers. Denver is at home and I believe they will rebound against the Raiders. Look for a big day from Peyton.  DEN 23 OAK 20

MIAMI (1-2) VS ARIZONA (3-0)

Miami has showed potential early on but Reggie Bush went down last Sunday. Arizona may just be the best team in the NFL. Arizona has defeated Seattle, New England, and Philadelphia. All 3 of these teams are playoff contenders. Miami won't make it easy, but look for the Cardinals to shine once again at home and improve to 4-0.  ARZ 27 MIA 17

CINCINNATI (2-1) VS JACKSONVILLE (1-2)

The Bengal defense hasn't showed up in the first 3 games and they are injury plagued, especially in the secondary. However, the Jaguars are a running team. This is a game that could go either way. If the Bengals defense could catch their former glory, the Bengals would be tough to beat. Jacksonville needs a heavy dose of the running game in order to win.  CIN 30 JAX 27

NEW ORLEANS (0-3) VS GREEN BAY (1-2)

When the season began, none of us would have picked the 1-5 record between these two teams. Green Bay should be 2-1 though. I don't see the Saints pulling off a win in Green Bay. We now see how important Sean Payton was to the Saints. Look for Aaron Rodgers to be on and for the Green Bay defense to live up to their ranking.  GB 24 NO 20

WASHINGTON (1-2) VS TAMPA BAY (1-2)

Both teams have lost their last 2 games and both need a big win. After a hot start, RG3 has cooled down. Tampa Bay has a tough defense and they are playing at home. The Redskins are a solid team and RG3 is due for a big game. Anyway, the Skins are better.  WASH 24 TB 21

NEW YORK (2-1) VS PHILADELPHIA (2-1)

This could be a potential NFC Championship game preview. Philly has to take better care of the ball and protect Vick. If not, it is going to be a very long season for this team. The Giants are once again below radar and underrated. Look for Eli and the Giants to pull off a big road win against the Eagles. Eagles win if Vick is near prefect, but he won't be.  NYG 23 PHI 21

CHICAGO (2-1) VS DALLAS (2-1)

I still don't know about both of these teams. The Bears seem to struggle against tough competition and Dallas thrives. However, the Cowboys play sloppy against teams that are not better then them. This will be an good game for Monday Night Football. I believe it will be a defensive battle as both have solid defenses. In the end, the Bears will pull away.  CHI 24 DAL 17
