Terrell Owens was supposed to be a savior of sorts for Buffalo (at least that’s what they were hoping he’d be), but instead he was held without a catch last week. Personally, the crap that T.O. gets for being angry on the sidelines while his team is losing is unfair. The Bills were getting man handled by the Saints defense. What did you want him to do? Smile? Don’t be an idiot.
In the only battle of undefeated teams on Sunday, the Saints will host the Jets led by Dirty Sanchez. The best offense in the league will face the against the true number-one defense. The Jets and Bart Scott have allowed just 256.0 yards against total, while keeping teams in check with just 11.0 points allowed. They’ve managed these stats while playing explosive Texans, New England and Tennessee.
Kyle Boller is back, and everyone in St. Louis is trying to kick themselves in the balls. The weird part is that even the women in St. Louis are trying to do the same, which is how bad things have gotten in St. Louis. Nobody knows what the hell is happening, and now they’ve lost their perennial leader in Marc Bulger to another injury and will have to watch Kyle Boller try to lead this team against a Niners team which was one Brett Favre miracle away from going undefeated to open the 2009 betting season.
If not for the outstanding play of Matt Schaub (300.6 passing yards per game), the Texans would be getting demolished. They’ve allowed 28.7 points and 205.0 rushing yards against per game. Good thing for them they get to play at home against Oakland, the second worst offense in the league. JaMarcus Russell a huge bust this season, leading an offense that generates just 223.0 yards per game and has managed an average of 12.0 points per game.
Tennessee Titans @ Jacksonville Jaguars
Sunday October 4 – Jacksonville Stadium, Jacksonville, FL – 1 PM ET
NFL Betting Line: Titans -3, O/U: 41.5
What a difference a year makes for the Tennessee Titans. They were 13-3 last year and they have already matched their total losses from a year ago heading into Week 4.
Trust me, it’s easy to say things like “Tom Brady isn’t the same anymore” three weeks in to the season. But if you’re ready to crown Super Bowl Champions after less than a month of NFL betting, then you’re an idiot. Tom Brady is riding a slow rehab curve back to becoming one of the most prolific quarterbacks in the league. Can you blame the guy for being worried about his knee and playing a little scared? All it took was a loss to the Jets to shake him out of his rut, and now Brady is proving it will take time, but he will be peaking late in the season, which means the Patriots could be deadly in the playoffs.
Cincinnati Bengals @ Cleveland Browns
Sunday October 4 – Cleveland Browns Stadium, OH
NFL Betting Odds: Bengals -5.5, O/U: 38.5
The battle of Ohio from the dog pound features one team riding a two-game winning streak and another team that has scored one offensive touchdown in 8 games.

Here are some NFL football betting trends as they relate to this matchup:
TB is 0-5 ATS in its last five games
TB has lost its last seven games SU
Flush with cash from winning the battle last week vs. the books on Sunday and Monday, the sports betting public takes aim at Week 4 action.
There are two games in particular that have been attracting a lot of attention, both from the media, the fans and of course from sports bettors.
Seems we’ve never met an NFL betting line we didn’t like. After a perfect Week 3, let’s try and keep the football parlay momentum going. Here are some hot picks to consider.
The San Diego Chargers and Pittsburgh Steelers, two teams that were supposed to be AFC contenders, have stumbled out of the gates early in the season and a lot of people now have some questions about the supposed power houses.
For starters, both teams are without key Pro Bowl caliber defenders and the losses have been evident early on.
The Houston Texans appear to be a popular suicide pick this week. After all, what better week to pick the Texans, right?
The Texans, who have been 6-2 at home in each of the last two seasons, are 0-2 so far at Reliant Stadium this year. On top of that, they get a visit from the lousy Raiders this week, who seem to be playing with an eye-patch just like their logo.
Last week I went 13 of 16 for my NFL Expert Picks, including more upsets. This week we have some huge matchups like the Jets visiting the Saints in a battle of undefeated teams, or Tom Brady and the Patriots trying to answer a lot of the questions about if they are still the same team from 2 years ago.
Sunday Night Football was supposed to be an AFC Championship preview. However, after Week 3, the San Diego Chargers (2-1, 1-2 ATS) and Pittsburgh Steelers (1-2, 0-3 ATS) are just focused on staying in the hunt in their respective divisions.
Oddsmakers have tagged the Steelers as 6.5-point home favorites for Sunday’s primetime matchup.
The sports betting world is getting set to make their NFL picks for this coming Week 4 schedule and one of the things everyone needs to be aware of is, of course, injuries. But not just players who are out of the lineup because of nicks and bruises, but also players who are coming back from an injury…or from a league mandated suspension.
With stops and starts, successes and failures, the progress made by the Saints has roughly paralleled what New Orleans has experienced since Hurricane Katrina ravaged 80 percent of the city in August 2005.
