    I just posted my picks, so I'll get this week's thread going.

    http://www.jetsdaily.com/2009/10/week-4-nfl-picks.html


    Denver +3.5 over Dallas
    I was down on the Broncos heading into the season, but I was wrong. They are healthy now, and the defense is playing well. I know they didn't play a tough schedule, but they've allowed single digit points every game. Mike Nolan has really made a difference, and I expect the crowd to be fired up for a home game. Kyle Orton will protect the ball better than Jay Cutler would have, and Brandon Marshall is poised for a breakout. And what have the Cowboys done to deserve to be 3.5 point road favorites against a 3-0 team possibly without their top two runningbacks?
    Broncos 20, Cowboys 14

    San Diego +7 over Pittsburgh
    These two teams seem to always play close games. As usual, both teams need the win, and both sides have a few injuries. Philip Rivers and Vincent Jackson is a dynamic duo that should be able to throw on the Steelers who are missing Troy Polamalu. The Steelers just lost two straight. Just because they lost two in a row doesn't mean they will destroy a very good Chargers team. Will the Steelers win? I don't know. Probably. But will they win by double digits? Probably not.
    Steelers 20, Chargers 19

    Giants -9 over Chiefs
    This seems like a sucker bet. The Giants are the Giants, and the Chiefs are a mess, and it's still only single digits. The reason for that is because it's the Giants' third straight road game. But they are a veteran team who is coming off a virtual off week against Tampa Bay. The Chiefs' main offense weapon, Dwayne Bowe, probably will not be playing. The Giants will not beat themselves. The Chiefs will.
    Giants 24, Chiefs 3

    A lot of chalk. I like the Bengals at 5.5, but I had it at 7 in my book, and I don't trust Cincy enough, and it's now or never for Cleveland. Maybe Anderson is better than Quinn with a full week of practice. I still lean Cincy, but not at 7.

    Cowboys...obviously I disagree there...

    I'm not taking the 49ers to cover double digits when they are NEVER double digit favorites, and the Rams have the best offensive player on the field by far. I'm probably going to bet a little on STL, and I think Boller might be an upgrade over Bulger. It's just hard to put money on them.

    1-2 Romo blows -- 14-0 lead in Cincy game felt good against the Browns then they shit the bed - at least 49ers pulled thru for me --

    9-3 overall 2-2 lock -- better luck next week - til then
