If Week 4 mirrors the chaos of Week 3, I might need a long break to recover, as the unfolding drama was undoubtedly among the most unpredictable in NFL history. Last weekend featured a plethora of blocked field goals, more than I could count. Additionally, the Bengals faced an extraordinary mishap where they fumbled three times in just four plays against the Vikings, an occurrence that feels fabricated but happened nonetheless. In a bizarre turn, the Browns managed to secure a victory against the Packers after trailing by 10 points with merely four minutes remaining—defying their usual misfortune.
NFL Week 4 Predictions
Steelers (2-1) vs. Vikings (2-1) in Ireland
9:30 a.m. ET (NFL Network, Fubo, try for free)
I’m hesitant to make a call on this game mainly because of my struggle with teams in the NFC North this year; I’m currently 4-8 with these picks despite having a commendable overall prediction record of 37-11. Nevertheless, the Vikings and Steelers both excelled defensively last week.
Eagles (3-0) at Buccaneers (3-0)
1 p.m. ET (Fox, Fubo, try for free)
Surprisingly, the Eagles and Buccaneers will meet for the fifth time in as many games this January, all in Tampa Bay. Despite their winning records, both teams could very well be 0-3, with recent game performances raising questions about their legitimacy.
Time left in the game that the Bucs scored winning points this season:
- 0:59
- 0:06
- 0:00
Browns (1-2) at Lions (2-1)
1 p.m. ET (Fox, Fubo, try for free)
Unbelievably, the Browns may be the most underrated team in the league. They have kept all their opponents under 250 yards, looking solid defensively despite their previous losses. If they can maintain this performance and enhance their execution on offense, they could secure more wins.
Cleveland’s defensive prowess includes achieving the fewest yards allowed in the league, largely due to their formidable pressure on quarterbacks like Jared Goff.
This week ought to be revealing. PICK: Browns 20-17 Against the Lions. Odds via BetMGM.
