Week 3 is in the books and Week 4 is here, so for the winCharles Curtis and Steven Ruiz return to make their choice in the NFL. All odds are provided by Westgate via ESPN …
Week 3 RECAP
Charles: 9-6 (season: 27-18-1)
Steven: 11-4 (season: 25-20-1)
Steven: Do you hear that, Charles? I am the one who is closing the field on you. I see no reason why I can not take advantage of a good week and do even better this time.
Charles: I expected Steven to catch up easily. But let's take a second to admire our two season numbers. We should frame them before everything gets worse like week 8.
Minnesota Vikings to Los Angeles Rams (-7)
Steven: The Vikings
This line is disrespectful to Mike Zimmer. He ended Sean McVay's attack last season and I would not be surprised if he started again. I'm not scared by this result from last week. The Vikings keep it in a field goal.
Charles: The Vikings
Frankly, I'm puzzled. The Rams lost in their high school and the Vikings' defense is still elite despite last week's loss to the Bills. Strange things happen on Thursday nights too.
New York Jets at Jacksonville Jaguars (-9)
Steven: jets
The Jets defense has no chance in this one. But I do not know if I trust the Jaguars offensive to cover such a big gap. Not after Blake Bortles fought against the Titans last week, and not with Leonard Fournette who was still in the thigh.
Charles: jets
Gang Green's defense is solid. We learned it last Thursday despite a loss to Baker Mayfield and the Browns. So, they will stay in the nine points, even though Sam Darnold throws a lot of interceptions.
Houston Texans at the Colts of Indianapolis (-1.5)
Steven: Colts
The Colts are two-discs 3-0. I do not know if Vegas realizes the improvement of this team. The defense seems big and Andrew Luck looks better than his line of statistics indicates. Indianapolis wins by at least one touchdown.
Charles: Colts
I hate how much I agree with Steven. I am shocked to see how well the Colts' defense has behaved so far and all these concerns about the strength of Andrew Luck's arm will stop this week. In the meantime, this means that unequal Texans will start season 0-4 and that Bill O'Brien's name will be fired as a possible mid-season shot.
Miami Dolphins to the New England Patriots (-3.5)
Steven: The patriots
The Dolphins outperformed this season with an early program that allowed them to play fouls in each of the first three weeks. The Miami pass defense is vulnerable and the Patriots will attack weakness early and often, Tom Brady will have a big match in an explosion.
Charles: The patriots
I'm not ready to bet against Belichick and Brady at home against a new division rival. Sorry.
Philadelphia Eagles to Titans of Tennessee (+4)
Steven: Eagles
Marcus Mariota's elbow is still wrong, and the defense is not back against Bortles. Carson Wentz looked solid on his return. It should be even better after knocking out rust. The Eagles will have no problem to score in this one and the defense should dominate.
Charles: Eagles
It makes too much sense. The defense is already elite and now they have to face a QB who could not feel the balloon because of a pinched nerve. Despite the Titans defense that proves it is an impressive unit, the defending champions start with a W.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Chicago Bears (-2)
Steven: Bear
As worried as I am about Mitch Trubisky's slow start, I'm not afraid to bet on Ryan Fitzpatrick on the road facing a fierce race. He will make some choices and the Bears offense will be played against a weak defense of the Bucs.
Charles: Bear
Fitzmagic shone a bit last week and the Bears defense will not let veteran QB throw another 400 yards.
Cincinnati Bengals in Atlanta Falcons (-5)
Steven: Bengals
The Falcons can barely get a good 11 after losing another defensive star for the season. Ricardo Allen was one of the leaders of the defense, and this will prove against A.J. Green (even though he's dubious to play) and the Bengals offense. Atlanta will win, but it will be close.
Charles: falcons
I will go against conventional thinking here. Green is hit and may not even play, and although the Falcons' high school is vulnerable because of all those injuries, I think playing at home will give Atlanta just enough juice to win and cover.
Buffalo Bills at Green Bay Packers (-10.5)
Steven: packers
I do not buy the bills we saw last week, this is the team they will follow. They took advantage of a few breakaways to gain a good lead, but were completely closed in the second half. Aaron Rodgers and defensive coordinator Mike Pettine will send Buffalo crashing on Earth. Packers earn by 17.
Charles: packers
Last week was a stroke of luck, and now that the Packers have a tape on Josh Allen, they will find out.
Detroit Lions at Dallas Cowboys (-3)
Steven: the Lions
This first Lions game has convinced many people that they are a terrible team, but they have looked solid over the past two weeks. The Cowboys, meanwhile, have been offensive. Matt Stafford will have a big game and Dak Prescott will not be able to follow.
Charles: Cowboys
The Lions pass defense has been leading the NFL so far. But the Cowboys are fourth, which could neutralize the talented Detroit group. And do you know what is the worst rush of the league? The Lions! Ezekiel Elliott could rush 40 times and the Cowboys win a contest.
Seattle Seahawks at the Arizona Cardinals (+2.5)
Steven: cardinals
It's difficult because we have no idea what we'll get from Josh Rosen. It's like choosing a game of the week 1. I guess it gives the offensive a spark and that Cardinal's defense continues to play well after a strong performance of Week 3.
Charles: Seahawks
Another team that should just put their football – Chris Carson – back into football all day long. I do not have too much confidence in Seattle, but they should cover this one.
Cleveland Browns at Oakland Raiders (-1.5)
Steven: The thieves
I call him: Jon Gruden gets his first win on his second stint in Oakland. We will also see Baker Mayfield fight for the first time in his career. The Raiders have to start finishing their practice if they want to score enough points to win, and I think it will start arriving home this week.
Charles: Browns
My head says the Raiders will win at home, but my heart says I'm defending MAYFIELD WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Saints of New Orleans to the Giants of New York (+3)
Steven: saints
I was ready to take a chance on the Giants, but then I saw this spread. It's too small. Drew Brees is rolling, and I can not see Eli Manning score enough points to keep it in a field goal.
Charles: saints
Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas have huge games and the Giants are whistled at MetLife Stadium.
San Francisco 49ers to Los Angeles Chargers (-11.5)
Steven: Chargers
It's a massive broadcast, but I have not forgotten how disappointed C. J. Beathard was last season. The 49ers' defense did not take the measure everyone was expecting her to do, even if getting Reuben Foster should help.
Charles: Chargers
I do not support Beathard on the road. I'm just not.
Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers (-3)
Steven: Steelers
The Steelers defense is still a big problem, but I do not know if the Ravens are a team capable of exploiting it. And we know that Ben Roethlisberger is a different player at home. He will throw three touchdowns in an easy win for Pittsburgh.
Charles: The Crows
The best defense of the NFL blocks Joe Flacco – yes, Joe Flacco – who launches the rock all over the field to his improved home body to enjoy a disturbing second in a big win on the road.
Kansas City Chiefs at the Denver Broncos (+5)
Steven: The Chiefs
The defense of the Broncos is not very good. It is not the team that will slow down this juggernaut known as the Chiefs offense. Patrick Mahomes earned a win in high school and Kansas City went 4-0 with a 28-20 victory.
Charles: The Chiefs
This turns into a situation in which you just bet on the leaders until someone covers them.
