Week 4 NFL Betting Lines and Game Previews

Week 3 of the 2015 NFL season is in the books and we are getting a clearer picture of the power players. In the AFC, there are three 3-0 teams – the New England Patriots, Cincinnati Bengals and Denver Broncos. In the NFC, the Green Bay Packers, Carolina Panthers, Atlanta Falcons and Arizona Cardinals also stand at 3-0. There are a few surprises as well (Baltimore Ravens are 0-3 and the Seattle Seahawks and Indianapolis Colts are 1-2). It’s still early in the 2015/16 season. Momentum will change and injuries are sure to shift the balance of power as we move ahead (e.g., Big Ben is expected to be out 6-8 weeks and Michael Vick will now be the Steelers QB).

There are two teams on their bye in Week 4: New England Patriots and the Tennessee Titans.

There are also a number of interesting betting matchups in Week 4:

  • Interesting divisional rivalry games – Ravens at Steelers (Thursday Night Football), Jets at Dolphins, Rams at Cardinals
  • 1-2 Indianapolis Colts are 9 point favorites at home vs the 1-2 Jacksonville Jaguars
  • 1-2 San Diego Chargers are laying 7 1/2 at home vs the 1-2 Cleveland Browns.
  • The 2-0 Atlanta Falcons are laying 2 pts on the road vs the banged up 2-0 Dallas Cowboys.
  • The New York Jets and the Miami Dolphins will play in London this week. The Dolphins are playing as the “home” team.
  • The Sunday Night Football game has the Dallas Cowboys visiting the New Orleans Saints. The Detroit Lions visit the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football.
