Smoke and mirrors can only get a team so far. Yes, Bill Belichick will probably scheme up a defense that keeps things somewhat interesting. Yet it sets up a classic Get Right game against a team with far less firepower.
Lions 27, Packers 24 COWBOYS (-7) over PATRIOTSĪmerica's Team hit a speedbump in Glendale and it was extremely surprising. It will be a 60-minute game but the Lions simply have more weapons. Yes, Jordan Love authored a historic comeback at Lambeau against a staunch Saints unit but we simply don't know how he'll respond in his first foray into the national spotlight. Jared Goff has looked professional, Jahmyr Gibbs is looking more and more like a top-end running back, and the Aidan Hutchinson-led front seven is succeeding at putting pressure on the opposing quarterback. Thursday night games are always a bit of a crapshoot and the injury report is unwritten like a Natasha Bedingfield song, but if something's not broken there's no reason to fix it. If you've checked these out before, you know that we simply cannot stop riding Dan Campbell's magical bus as it rolls out, doing nothing but covering spreads at an unreasonable clip.
Entering Week 4 with an 12-6 record has put a little extra pep in our step. We've gone 4-2, then 3-3, then 5-1 with our picks against the spread, meaning you haven't lost money backing us over any weekend. A very solid trend is developing as the NFL season begins to take shape.
