Broncos-Jaguars and Week 4 Picks!

This is the Broncos last stand of the 2019 season. If they lose at home to the Jaguars, then they will fall to 0-4 and this season will be lost before we get to October. I still think they can somehow turn this season around, but they have to win this game at home. The Jags come in at 1-2, but they have some life with the play of QB Gardner Minshew, subbing for injured Nick Foles. They are also dealing with the Jalen Ramsey drama as he continues to demand a trade. I know it is dicey to pick the Broncos but I have to think they can win this game at home to get to 1-3

Prediction: DENVER (-3) over Jacksonville

Final Score: Broncos-20 Jags-16

Last Week's Record: 6-9-1
Overall Record: 20-25-3
(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

HOUSTON (-4) over Carolina: The Texans are 2-1 with all three of their games very close. The Panthers are 1-2 and QB Kyle Allen looked really good last week in relief of the injured Cam Newton. This game will be close again, but I think the Texans will win by a late touchdown.

Cleveland (+7) over BALTIMORE: The Ravens are 2-1 and gave the Chiefs everything they could in Arrowhead last Sunday. I know the Browns are 1-2 and everyone is killing them, but I have a sneaky feeling that they go into Baltimore on Sunday and pull off the upset.

NY GIANTS (-3) over Washington: How about that debut for Daniel Jones last week to give the Giants their first win of the season over Tampa Bay? At 1-2, they now host the 0-3 Redskins, who are a mess of a franchise right now. I still can't trust the Giants defense, and with Saquon Barkley out, you get a little nervous, but the G-Men should get to 2-2.

Oakland (+7) over INDY: The Raiders are 1-2 after getting killed in Minnesota last week. They now head back to the midwest for an early game at Indy. I know everyone is picking the Colts at home here and they may win, but I think the Raiders cover the seven points.

Kansas City (-6) over DETROIT: I don't care if the Lions are 2-0-1 and at home this week. I'm taking KC and the unstoppable Pat Mahomes every week.

New England (-7) over BUFFALO: Everyone in Buffalo is pumped up for this matchup of two 3-0 teams, but I think the Pats will take care of business and win easily.

ATLANTA (-3) over Tennessee: Two 1-2 teams battle in Atlanta in a must-win game for both teams. The Falcons are a weird team, and I'm trying to figure out if Matt Ryan is still good. I also think that Marcus Mariota is on borrowed time for the Titans as their QB. I'll take Atlanta at home.

LA RAMS (-9) over Tampa Bay: The Bucs are 1-2 and they lost an absolutely awful game to the Giants last week at home. Now, they head out to LA to take on the 3-0 Rams. I think the Rams get to 4-0 with a dominating win at home.

Seattle (-5) over ARIZONA: Seattle laid an egg at home in a loss to the Saints last week. At 2-1, I think they will get back on track and get an easy win in Arizona.

Minnesota (+3) over CHICAGO: This is the marquee game in the late afternoon window on Sunday. The 2-1 Vikings head to Soldier Field to take on the 2-1 Bears. I think the Vikings are the better team at this point, and you still have to worry about Mitch Trubisky, so I'll take the Vikes on the road.

Dallas (-2) over NEW ORLEANS: I like how the Cowboys and their offense have looked so far in their 3-0 start. Dak Prescott has been awesome in the first three games, and I think this will be a very close game, but I give the Cowboys the edge and win to get to 4-0.

PITTSBURGH (-4) over Cincy: What a rough game on Monday Night Football as the 0-3 Steelers, without Big Ben, take on the 0-3 Bengals. I'll take the Steelers to get to 1-3.
