Cash's Week #4 Picks

2013 Record: Overall (4-5-1)/Cowboys picks (2-1)

Chargers +2 vs DAL....Lions -2.5 vs CHI...Atlanta -2 vs NE...

Chargers +2 vs DAL - I don't believe that one magical game against a Rams team that had a lot of people fooled (including me) suddenly means this is a great Cowboys team...The Cowboys have beaten two teams that are unmitigated disasters this season to get to 2-1.  And suddenly they are good enough to be GIVING points on the road to a team that has lost 2 games by a total of 6 points to Houston and Titans teams that have very stout defenses?  Not on my watch...Gimmie the Chargers and the points...

Lions -2.5 vs CHI

The Bears are a much better home team than when they are on the road....Reggie Bush makes ALL the difference to the Lions offense.  I like Ryan Broyles filling in for an injured Nate Burleson (if you are in a PPR league, grab him)....plus, this is the Lions only home game in a 5 week stretch....they will be up!

Atlanta -2 vs NE

This is a bit of a gut call...but it's based in fact...I think, of all the unbeatens, the Pats are currently the ones that are using the most smoke and mirrors.  (Tom Brady aside).  The Pats are injured all over the place....Gronk and Amendola are out...and while the Falcons will miss Steven Jackson again, they have a Rodgers/Snelling combo that can fill in nicely.  The Falcons have lost to two other unbeatens (Saints and Fins) in one score games...they are at home, and need this game more than the Pats do.

btw...it's not an official pick, but I really wanted to take miami +7 on monday night in New Orleans. The fins defense and ball control offense is just made to keep games close. I'd be surprised if they won outright, but 7 is a lot of points...my issue is with the fins o-line and running game...if they were a little better, I'd take Miami...but if they were a little better, I wouldn't be getting 7 points...
