NFL survivor pool picks: Safest bets and games to avoid in Week 4
There are only 10 non-Thursday games this week with a point spread of three points or less. Green Bay Packers are favored by more than a touchdown. Here are the three safest bets to earn a Week 4 victory and two "under-the-radar" picks.
Green Bay Packers (2-1) are playing New England Patriots (1-2). The Packers defense just held Tom Brady's Tampa Bay Buccaneers to 12 points. The Patriots will play either Brian Hoyer or Mac Jones.
Dallas Cowboys (2-1) are the favorite against Washington Commanders (1-2). The Cowboys' defense has a league-leading 13 sacks through three games.
Buffalo Bills (2-1) and Baltimore Ravens (1-2) are playing each other on the road. The Ravens just allowed nearly 450 yards of total offense to the Patriots.
Detroit Lions (1-2) are playing Seattle Seahawks (0-3) in the NFL. The Lions blew a 14-point fourth-quarter lead to the Minnesota Vikings last week. Seattle is one of the worst teams in NFL, ranking 28th in total offense and 25th on yards allowed per game.
Las Vegas Raiders (0-3) are desperate for a win. Denver Broncos (1-2) have the NFL's second-worst offense under Russell Wilson.
Philadelphia Eagles (3-0) are the favorite against Jacksonville Jaguars (2-1). The Eagles have beaten Detroit, Minnesota and Washington. The Jaguars have four wins, but their offense is seventh-ranked.
Los Angeles Chargers are 1-2 and the Houston Texans are 2-1. The Chargers have lost Rashawn Slater and Joey Bosa, and Justin Herbert has fractured ribs. Houston lost to Jacksonville by 28.
