Week 4 NFL Picks/MVP Watch

Detroit (3-0) @ Dallas (2-1)

The Cowboy defense looked pretty deadly against the Redskins on Monday led by DE DeMarcus Ware. If they can put pressure on Matthew Stafford, it might be a rough day for the young quarterback of the Lions. And I’m not convinced Stafford can go on the road in front of 90,000+ people and win a game over a good football team. Especially against a quarterback in Tony Romo who is on a mission right now.

Dallas 30 Detroit 22


New Orleans (2-1) @ Jacksonville (1-2)

The record for most passing yards in one game is 554 by a guy named Norm Van Brocklin back in 1951. Am I the only one that thinks Drew Brees can break that this week?

New Orleans 36 Jacksonville 16


Tennessee (2-1) @ Cleveland (2-1)

How does a player miss a game with strep throat? RB Peyton Hillis of the Browns did it last week. Seems odd. But it's not that odd when you remember that Hillis graced the cover of Madden '12.. Madden Curse!!

Tennessee 26 Cleveland 14


Buffalo (3-0) @ Cincinnati (1-2)

The Bills play the Eagles next week but first they play this one against Cincy. This is a typical look-ahead/trap game. I'm expecting the Bills offense to take a few steps back in this one. They're not for real. They're not for real. They're NOT FOR REAL!

Cincinnati 24 Buffalo 22


Washington (2-1) @ St. Louis (0-3)

The Redskins pretty much proved on Monday that they won't be a threat. When you hold the Cowboys to 0 touchdowns and still lose the game...you need some work.

St. Louis 20 Washington 19


San Francisco (2-1) @ Philadelphia (1-2)

Can't wait to see what kind of injury Michael Vick gets this week!

Philadelphia 27 San Francisco 7


Minnesota (0-3) @ Kansas City (0-3)

The Vikings blew a 17-7 lead in Week 1, a 17-0 lead in Week 2, and a 20-0 lead in Week 3. Yep, they blow.

Kansas City 21 Minnesota 19


Pittsburgh (2-1) @ Houston (2-1)

Can we take the Houston Texans seriously if they lose this game? With all the hype around this team, if they lose another game to a contender..then why should we believe in the Texans? Having said that, the Texans ability to go score for score with the Saints last week was downright impressive..while the Steelers struggling to beat Curtis Painter and the Colts....not so impressive.

Houston 30 Pittsburgh 24


Carolina (1-2) @ Chicago (1-2)

Cam Newton goes into Soldier Field and gets a win.

Carolina 23 Chicago 20


Atlanta (1-2) @ Seattle (1-2)

If the Falcons can't beat the Seahawks, then all the Super Bowl hype must stop immediately.

Atlanta 34 Seattle 14


NY Giants (2-1) @ Arizona (1-2)

Eli keeps me proving me wrong which is really starting to annoy me.

NY Giants 29 Arizona 17


Denver (1-2) @ Green Bay (3-0)

This might be the lock of the year.

Green Bay 42 Denver 13


New England (2-1) @ Oakland (2-1)

Poor Tom Brady. Because his defence is a trainwreck, he will be forced to put up 30+ points every week. Can you imagine if the Oakland Raiders beat the New York Jets and New England Patriots in back-to-back weeks? Yeah, neither can I.

New England 40 Oakland 21


Miami (0-3) @ San Diego (2-1)

Wow, I love this easy schedule for the Chargers. By the way, those who had 2 games in the "What week will Bob Sanders go on IR" pool are jumping for joy.

San Diego 34 Miami 10


NY Jets (2-1) @ Baltimore (2-1)

Joe Flacco continues his pattern of good game, bad game, good game, horrendous game after the stinker against the Titans was answered by the rebound over the Rams last week. So if Flacco sticks to the pattern, he should have a bad game on Sunday night. But bad games don't necessarily mean losses. The Ravens have Ray Rice, the Jets don't. The way the Jets let Darren McFadden run all over them last week, expect another dominating performance by a running back this week.

Baltimore 20 NY Jets 18


Indianapolis (0-3) @ Tampa Bay (2-1)

It's Curtis Painter time. And I'm sticking with the same mindset that I mentioned last week. The Colts are going to win when we least expect it. They're getting better every game.

Indianapolis 26 Tampa Bay 13


Last Week: 9-7

Season: 26-22

MVP Watch

5. Cam Newton QB Carolina 1012 yds 4 TD 4 INT 2 rushing tds

Quite possibly the story of the season so far, he’s the only rookie ever to throw for 400 yards in his first two games. And with the complete disappearance of DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, Newton is having to do it on the ground as well.

4. Matthew Stafford QB Detroit 977 yds 9 TD 2 INT

Just stay healthy...just stay healthy...just stay healthy

3. Wes Welker WR New England 31 rec 458 yards 4 tds

A wide receiver has never won the AP NFL MVP, which may make this inclusion kind of surprising. But how can you ignore 16 catches for 217 yards against the Bills

2. Drew Brees QB New Orleans 1059 yds 9 TD 2 INT

It seems like Brees is able to just flick a switch and score whenever he feels like.

1. Tom Brady QB New England 1327 yds 11 td 5 INT

We'll ignore the 4 interception performance, because Brady rarely puts up performances like that. But future pick-filled performances will drop him down our radar. He's still on pace for almost 60 touchdowns and almost 7000 yards.
