Many of this week\u2019s spreads look positively treacherous on paper. Let\u2019s see if I can find some viable ones to try.  <!--more--> <\/p>\n<p>WEEK 4 ATS PICKS RECORD: 6-2<br \/>\nSEASONATS PICKS RECORD: 15-7<\/p>\n<p><strong>Philadelphia Eagles vs Buffalo Bills<\/strong><br \/>\nSunday, October 9, 1:00 p.m. ET<br \/>\nNFL betting favorite: Eagles -1.5<\/p>\n<p>Who knew that Eagles\/Bills would shape up to be a barn burner? This game has all the makings of a wild one. Though Buffalo slipped up last week, its loss to Cincy came against the NFL\u2019s top-ranked defense so far. In their other three games, the Bills moved the ball just fine.<\/p>\n<p>And we know right now that anyone can score on Philly. Look for Fred Jackson to have a huge day. That said, we should also expect a huge day from the Eagles\u2019 offense. Despite their struggles overall, Philly has still flashed plenty of big-play ability with the Likes of Michael Vick, DeSean Jackson and LeSean McCoy. The Eagles\u2019 \u201cD\u201d has been the problem, not their \u201cO.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think the Bills will have an answer for Vick. Whereas Philly will give up points, its defensive aggression may force a costly mistake or two out of Ryan Fitzpatrick, which will be just enough to win the game. Pick: Eagles -1.5<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kansas City Chiefs vs Indianapolis Colts<\/strong><br \/>\nSunday, October 9, 1:00 p.m. ET<br \/>\nNFL betting favorite: Colts -1<\/p>\n<p>Even at home, I\u2019m surprised to see the Colts favored here. Kansas City has played six good quarters in a row. It narrowly lost to the Chargers in San Diego and its passing game showed signs of life in a win over Minnesota last week. Instead of Phil Rivers or Adrian Peterson, the Chiefs\u2019 defense must contend with Curtis Painter and Joseph Addai this week. Much easier task. Pick: Chiefs +1  [soliloquy id=&#8221;82219&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>New Orleans Saints @ Carolina Panthers<\/strong><br \/>\nSunday, October 9, 1:00 p.m. ET<br \/>\nNFL betting favorite: Saints -6<\/p>\n<p>Another epic Cam Newton performance wouldn\u2019t be surprising; through four weeks, it\u2019s becoming the norm. But Drew Brees and the Saints offense have rolled so far this season, overshadowed by Newton, the Patriots and the Packers. If they can hang 30-plus points on Green Bay, Chicago and Houston, they should pound Carolina\u2019s defense into dust. Even if the Panthers move the ball \u2013 and they will \u2013 it won\u2019t be enough to stay within six points.<\/p>\n<p>Pick: Saints -6<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chicago Bears @ Detroit Lions <\/strong><br \/>\nMonday, October 10, 8:30 p.m. ET<br \/>\nNFL betting favorite: Lions -5.5<\/p>\n<p>So far this season, the Chicago Bears\u2019 defense hasn\u2019t lived up to its reputation. In fact, the Monsters of the Midway are 31<sup>st<\/sup> in the NFL in total \u201cD.\u201d That doesn\u2019t bode well against a seemingly unstoppable Lions offense. How do you prevent Matthew Stafford from connecting with Calvin Johnson on a touchdown pass when Megatron catches the ball even with two or three people covering him?<\/p>\n<p>Also, Ndamukong Suh and Detroit\u2019s front seven may keep Matt Forte from running wild, forcing the Bears lean on Jay Cutler. With his weak receiving corps and propensity for mental mistakes, he should pull a Tony Romo and help the Lions stay undefeated. Less than a touchdown seems reasonable to cover.
