Welcome
to week four. Lucky Lester has identified trends
and expects to improve his already gaudy 25-18-3
record with some enticing match ups this week.
You can read my review of how the previous week
played out against my picks.
Week
4 SUPER PICKS
I'm
taking 4 teams this week for my Super Picks
and they look like good bets. Perhaps this is
the week that Granny gets her house back!
The Titans (-3) @ Chargers: Titans
don't lose a lot with back up Billy Volek subbing
for McNair. Volek passed for almost 300 yards
in his last outing. Running back Chris Brown
looks like an elite performer. San Diego's anemic
passing attack provides little support for superstar
LaDaineian Tomlinsom. Game Date: 10/03/04
16:15 ET
The
Rams(-3.5) @ 49ers: Lucky has consistently
maintained that the 49ers will be fortunate
to win a single game. Rams QB Mark Bulger will
put up huge numbers because the 49ers lack the
ability to pressure him. Receivers Holt and
Bruce cannot be covered for very long. Game
Date: 10/03/04 20:35 ET
Chiefs@
Ravens(-5.5): The chiefs cannot be happy
about going to Baltimore, they match up poorly
with the Ravens. The Ravens ferocious defense
will contain Priest Holmes, the Ravens running
back Jamal Lewis should rumble for at least
200 yards against the Chiefs pitiful run defense.
Game Date: 10/04/04 21:05 ET
Saints
(-3) @ Cardinals: Saints QB Aaron Brooks
should find success against the Cardinals 27th
ranked defense. Aaron Stecker, playing for the
injured Deuce McAllister, had over a hundred
yards rushing last week. Game Date: 10/03/04
16:05 ET
Lucky
Lester's Picks For Week Four
Bengals
@ Steelers (-4.5): Steelers will take
advantage of Carson Palmers tendency to turn
the ball over, and will control the game on
the ground with running back Duce Staley. Cincinnati
defense is the second to last unit in the league.
Game Date: 10/03/04 13:00 ET
Giants
(+7) @ Packers: Take the generous point
spread against this Packer team that has huge
injury concerns on defense. Their defensive
backfield is a mess and they can't stop the
run either. Kurt Warner seems born again and
is playing with confidence. Warner will burn
the blitz-happy Packer defense.
Game Date: 10/03/04 13:00 ET
Redskins
(-3) @ Browns: Both offenses are sputtering,
so take the much better defense with a small
point outlay here. Clinton Portis should have
a field day against the Browns struggling defense.
Game Date: 10/03/04 13:00 ET
Colts
(-3.5) @ Jaguars: This is the big game of
the day, matching the undefeated Jaguars against
the Colts offensive juggernaut. Three and a
half seems like a small price to pay for this
Colt team that is firing on all cylinders. The
good young Jaguar defense will play hard but
Jacksonville's inability to score will make
the difference.
Game Date: 10/03/04 13:00 ET
Eagles
(-9) @ Bears: New Bears quarterback Jonathan
Quinn could not face a tougher first opponent.
The Eagles varied blitz packages will make his
life miserable. The Eagles McNabb is having
an MVP like season, and should find Terrel Owens
for several scores. The Bears are missing three
starters in the defensive backfie.
Game Date: 10/03/04 13:00 ET
Patriots
(-5.5) @ Bills: New England will dominate
the Bills sub par offensive line. Patriots will
be in Bledsoe's face all day. Bledsoe's limited
mobility, and that's being kind, will once again
result in numerous sacks. Tom Brady will find
enough openings in a good Bills defense to secure
a victory. Game Date: 10/03/04 13:00 ET
Raiders
(-2.5) @ Texans: Raiders are a better team
with the strong-armed Collins at quarterback.
Their young receivers are speedy and excel in
the vertical passing game. The Texans are missing
their best offensive performer, Domanick Davis.
Game Date: 10/03/04 13:00 ET
Falcons
@ Panthers (-3.5): The Falcons Michael
Vick appears confused running his new West Coast
offense. The Panthers awesome front four should
contain and frustrate him. Carolina running
back DeShaun Foster showed last week that he
is more than capable of getting the job done.
Game Date: 10/03/04 16:05 ET
Broncos
(-3) @ Buccaneers: Three points seems a
small amount to lay for the Broncos against
the winless Buccaneers. The Buccaneers offense
has been terrible and should pose no threat
to the tough top rated Bronco defense. Game
Date: 10/03/04 16:15 ET
Jets
(-6) @ Dolphins: Dolphins switch quarterbacks
again in a futile effort to score some points,
dolphins need turnovers to stay in the game
and the Jets Pennington won't oblige.
Game Date: 10/03/04 16:15 ET
