All lines come from Bovada at the time this post was written.

Indianapolis Colts (-7) vs. Oakland Raiders

The Indianapolis Colts have been one of the most surprising teams of the early season and should continue their success with their NFL Week 4 matchup against the Oakland Raiders. The Colts have covered all three games that they have played this season and the Raiders have been destroyed in their last two games.

These are two teams going in completely opposite directions. Jacoby Brissett and the Colts should be able to easily take care of business at home against the Raiders. The seven points do not both me, the Raiders are getting blown out again. Take the Colts.

Los Angeles Rams (-10) vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Overall, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have some nice pieces on both sides of the ball. However, they lack significant depth at many key positions, quarterback Jameis Winston still leaves plenty to be desired and they are an undisciplined football team who gives games away left and right. When it comes down to it, this is a mediocre football team who is going nowhere this season.

Last week, the Bucs lost a tough game to the New York Giants, as rookie quarterback Daniel Jones tore them apart. If Jones can do what he wants against this Bucs’ defense, imagine what the Los Angeles Rams can do.

Sean McVay, Jared Goff and company should score at will against the Bucs in Los Angeles. On top of that, Winston becomes a much worse quarterback when he faces pressure. Aaron Donald and company should be able to pressure Winston and force him into bad decisions. Lay the points, the Rams are the play here.

Dallas Cowboys (-3) at New Orleans Saints

On the Sunday Night Football matchup of the NFL Week 4 slate, the New Orleans Saints will play host to the Dallas Cowboys. Dak Prescott has the Cowboys offense firing on all cylinders this season and their defense is one of the most talented in the entire league.

The Saints were able to escape with a victory over the Seattle Seahawks last week, but Teddy Bridgewater struggled throughout the game. Alvin Kamara is still a stud and he could easily flip this game, but we know that the Cowboys are going to score and their defense should cause major issues for Bridgewater.

The Saints are always tough to beat at home, but this is a completely different team without Drew Brees. In this game, I am riding the hot hand and going with the Cowboys.
