The Saints (2-1) are the highest scoring team in the league and while the Jaguars (1-2) rank dead last in the NFL in passing yards per game they do have a solid defense. NFL lines have the Saints as 6.5-point away favorites with a total of 44.5
Does it need to be said that the Colts really miss Peyton Manning? No didn’t think so, but still without the 4-time MVP Indy ranks rank 28th in points (15.3 per game), 29th in total offense (254.0 yards) and 27th in passing yards per game (164.0 yards).
We are nearly a month into the 2010-11 NFL season and Week 4 brings the first bye weeks of the year. Teams with a bye are Dallas, Kansas City, Minnesota, and Tampa Bay. It has been a season dotted with upsets and this week could be more of the same.
Here I look at the matchups, giving you some early insight that will help make your 2010 NFL wagers winners.
Week 4 of the National Football league season features some great matchups, but none bigger than the showdown between the Brett Favre-led Minnesota Vikings and Favre’s old team, the Green Bay Packers, on Monday Night Football.
As if there isn’t already enough animosity between the NFC North rivals, Favre’s first game against the Packers is sure to result in fireworks Monday night at the Metrodome (8:35 pm ET, ESPN).
Week four is packed with some of the most exciting games of the first half. My pick for best game of the week is a three-way tie between the Jets at the Saints, Chargers at the Steelers and the Green Bay Packers at the Minnesota Vikings. Brett Favre had a big week four in 2008; throwing six touchdown passes against the Arizona Cardinals. Can he repeat this week against his former team?
