Every dog has its day, and in Week 3, the laughable Saints defense prevented Sascha and I from getting into our groove. But now these two dogs are about to have their day in Week 4.
Here are our locks for the week.
Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers (-7)
Aaron Rodgers is 14-4 straight-up against the Chicago Bears with a 105.7 passer rating in those games. Don’t buy into this Bears team being legit after beating the Steelers in Week 3. Chicago got spanked the last time they took to the road, and that a** is about to get tanned again.
Pick: PACKERS (-7)
Philadelphia Eagles at Los Angeles Chargers (-1)
The Chargers are getting pounded in the trenches this season. Through three games, they are averaging a measly 3.4 yards per carry, while giving up 4.7. The Eagles possess arguably the most dominant defensive front with Timmy Jernigan and Fletcher Cox in the middle, and also have the offensive tackles (Jason Peters and Lane Johnson) to slow down Melvin Ingram and Joey Bosa.
Pick: EAGLES (+1)
Buffalo Bills at Atlanta Falcons (-8)
The Bills defense has been superb this season under new head coach Sean McDermott. Buffalo has given up the fewest points in the league and ranks sixth in total defense. But before we lavish them with too much praise, let’s remember they played the Jets, Panthers (who were just held to 13 points by the Saints last week), and Broncos. None of those offenses can light up the scoreboard the way Matt Ryan and the Falcons can, especially on their home turf.
Pick: FALCONS (-8)
