NFL Awesome Picks Spectacular Week 4

Because we here at Brainfart love us some football, we decided that we would not only be doing college football picks each week, but we would also be doing some NFL picks, too. So, here is where I make my NAPS (NFL Awesome Picks Spectacular):

Picks are in red
All lines are provided by Sportsbook.ag

New England Patriots (-4) at Buffalo Bills
Sunday 1:00

-  The Pats are pissed and they need a win badly.  It's never a good idea to back Brady into a corner - I think they get back to basics and dissect the Bills.  The Bills running game is knicked up all over the board and Belichick should be able to come up with a defense to brink out Evil Fitzpatrick.  Patriots win by 10. (Side note - has anyone ever noticed the Patriot's coach is named Belly-Chick?!?  How have there not been more jokes?  Com on Jet's fans - step it up.)

New York Giants (+1) at Philadelphia Eagles
Sunday 8:30

- How are the Eagles favored?  Does Vegas think Vick is going to ONLY have 3 turnovers?  The Eagles are way to random to beat a solid team like the Giants.  I expect a lot of swings but Eli's consistency and the Giants pass rush should win the day.

Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons (-7) 
Sunday 1:00

- Cam is solid but it appears like the NFL has caught up a little bit taking away anything deep and letting him run for a yard or two when he wants.  The Falcon's offense is hitting on all cylinders and should be able to top 25 or 30 points.  The only thing I worry about in this game is the back-door cover - just like college! Zing.

San Francisco 49ers (-4.5) @ New York Jets
Sunday 1:00

- The 49ers are pissed.  Jim Harbaugh does not like losing - so much so that he didn't even let the team go home during the week, instead having them practice in Ohio to avoid a long trip back to New York.  Want to know a good way to make a bunch of huge guys really really really angry?  Keep them at Youngstown State for a week  - they are going to annihilate the first Jet they see on Sunday.  The Jets are struggling on offense and the 49ers will be the best defense they will have played yet.  I have a hard time seeing the Jets scoring more than 14 points.  I'm going to go ahead and call this one exactly - 24-10 San Fran.


New Orleans Saints at Green Bay Packers (OVER 53.5)
Sunday 1:00

-  The Saints are not a good football team right now, but there offense has been solid.  Green Bay hasn't gotten going yet but the Saint's defense is just what they need to get going after coming off really tough match-ups the first three games. I think this game will look a lot like last year's score-fest when the Pack won 42-32.  So far this season the Saints have scored 27 points per game while giving up 34.

Last Week's Results: 3-1-0
Season Results: 5-7-1
