There you have it, some winners, a few okays, and some God Awful advice. Just like real life. Now for the Week 4 picks!
NY Jets @ Buffalo: Lee Evans (WR), Buffalo-No Darrelle Revis for the Jets, and new(er) Buffalo QB Ryan Fitzpatrick can see past the first 5 yards of the field. It says here he takes a few shots down the field, and one of them connects with Evans.
Baltimore @ Pittsburgh: Derrick Mason (WR), Baltimore-After Anquan Boldin went ballistic last week to the tune of 142 yards and 3 TDs for the Ravens the Steelers will roll coverage his way and leave Mason alone to work 1 on 1.
Seattle @ St. Louis: Deon Butler (WR), Seattle-Seattle likes to spread the ball around, you have no idea which WR is going to do something on a week to week basis. This week it's Butler.
San Francisco @ Atlanta: Atlanta D/ST-San Fran will be working with another new Offensive Coordinator, they're on the road, and 49ers QB has 5 INTs to 2 TDs. Nothing says that won't continue, at least not for another week.
Cincinnati @ Cleveland: Terrell Owens (WR), Cincinnati-He's due to bust out. And while Cleveland's D hasn't been awful, they just let Anquan Boldin run over them. They could try and concentrate on WR Chad OchoCinco and thereby leave Owens on an island. Get your popcorn ready, I suppose.
Denver @ Tennessee: Eddie Royal (WR), Denver-Denver is a lot like Seattle in that you don't know which WR is going to have the big week. It's a grab bag. Since Royal hasn't led the Broncos in receiving yet in a game this season, why not Eddie?
Carolina @ New Orleans: DeAngelo Williams (RB), Carolina-someone has to do something for the Panthers, otherwise no one will ever show up to another game this year and they'll spend the rest of the NFL season watching NASCAR reruns on the Wheel Channel. DWill gets 60 and a TD.
Detroit @ Green Bay: Greg Jennings (WR), Green Bay-The Lions aren't exactly good vs the pass, tend to get beat deep and Jennings hasn't had a whole lot of love so far this year. That changes on Sunday.
Houston @ Oakland: Jacoby Jones (WR), Houston-This is more of a hedging on Andre Johnson's ankle. Right now the reports are stating he's playing, but I say even if he does he won't play much, meaning Jones will jump in and take those targets.
Indianapolis @ Jacksonville: Austin Collie (WR), Indianapolis-Right now he leads the league in receptions, and opposing defenses try to take away WR Reggie Wayne and TE Dallas Clark, leaving Collie to reap the rewards of running crisp routes. And so it continues against the putrid Jacksonville squad.
Washington @ Philadelphia: Brent Celek (TE), Philadelphia-I may just keep putting him on the list until it becomes true, kind of like a rain dance. I just remember the days when Michael Vick would find TE Alge Crumpler on seam routes, and see that happening with Celek. Could be wishful thinking, but sometimes it's the thought that counts, right? (Oh humor me already)
Arizona @ San Diego: Mike Tolbert (RB), San Diego-Rookie RB Ryan Mathews is coming off of the dreaded high ankle sprain, this game should not be that close, and in doing so will limit Mathews carries-no need to risk him in a game that isn't close-so Tolbert comes in and gets his numbers up.
Chicago @ NY Giants: Kevin Boss (TE), NY Giants-Uh, so far Chicago has done a great job on defense stopping the run. Covering the pass has been ok. But Tight Ends are getting a bulk of the yardage against this defense. Look for Giants QB to make smarter decisions than last week and feel the blitz, which means Boss should be open a lot.
New England @ Miami: Randy Moss (WR), New England-Randy hasn't really gotten deep so far this year, but he does have TD catches. So far it doesn't appear that he and QB Tom Brady are on the same page on those deep routes. Miami still has issues on the Safety front, and after watching Braylon (.016!!) Edwards and Dustin Keller roll up yardage, Randy is ready for the spotlight on Monday night.
