Week 4 2009 NFL Football Picks by RV

I was 9-7 last week and I am 31-13-1 overall for the season including point spreads. This week features my pick of the month. So read on and keep betting wisely. The more stars, the more I like the game.

Cincinnati- 5 ½ ***Best pick of the month and maybe of the year***

This is my pick of the month. Yes, they are in the same division, but Cleveland is bad. I mean really bad. Cincinnati has played well and should win easily if they have no let down. Due to the fact the Bengals are finally enjoying winning, I doubt anything else but a win will happen.******

Cincinnati 34, Cleveland 10

Tennessee -2 ½

Tennessee is much better than 0-3. Jacksonville at 1-2 is about right. Tennessee finally pulls one off. Give up the points and grab the Titans. This one may not be as close as most think. This is my second best pick of the week.*****

Tennessee 27, Jacksonville 13

Giants -9

The New York Giants are for real. Kansas City is a below average team. Eli Manning and Company rolls. Giants win easily. Are the Giants Super Bowl bound? Give the points.*****

New York 28, Kansas City 9

Jets + 6 ½

Are you kidding me? I said the Jets were for real when I started my picks in week one. Six plus points is silly. New Orleans is very good but the Jets will win outright. I'm not sure who set these odds.*****

New York 27, New Orleans 26

Buffalo even

Buffalo has played very well for the most part. They have surprised me. Miami has played terribly. The Bills win by a field goal in a division game.****

Buffalo 20, Miami 17

Oakland+9 - Houston

Houston has played very well but 9 points seems too big a number. A no-bet game for me but I will take the points if forced to play. My least star or favorite game of the week. *

Houston 24, Oakland 19

Ravens + 2 ½

I hate this game because I am a Patriots fan. Right now, Baltimore is the best team in football. The Ravens will win outright. It hurts to say that. Take the points. Ouch!**

Baltimore 31, New England 28

Washington - 7 1/2

It's hard to believe someone will win this game. Neither team is very good. I'm taking the Redskins to win because they lost to Detroit last week and are angry. The Bucs should get a first down in the first half of this game. Maybe, even some points. Washington wins by 14 because Tampa Bay is worse than the Lions.***

Washington 24, Tampa Bay 10

Bears - 10 ½

I know this is a division rivalry. Both teams know each other well. But Chicago is a much, much better team than Detroit. I am going against my strategies and taking Da' Bears. Congrats to the Lions winning last week. I predicted they would do it. But two in a row will not happen here.****

Chicago 33, Detroit 20

Chargers + 6 ½

Pittsburgh has to get it together. They have a rough schedule. I think they can pull this game out. But I'll take the points because the Chargers are good too. I would not be surprised to see San Diego squeak out a win.***

Pittsburgh 24, San Diego 23

Green Bay+ 3 ½

Whenever Green Bay and Minnesota play, I take whichever team is getting points. I know this is Brett Favre's big game of the year. I'm taking Minnesota to win outright but only by 3 points.**

Minnesota 32, Green Bay 29

San Francisco -10

St. Louis is pathetic. San Francisco is still proving just how good it is. The 49ers need a laugher to gain credibility. This one is it. I'll take the 49ers minus the points.****

San Francisco 35, St. Louis 14

Dallas -2 ½ Denver

Dallas is underrated. Denver is overrated. I like the Cowboys even in Denver. I'll give up the points and grab the Cowboys in this spot.**

Dallas 31, Denver 24

Seattle +

The spread for the Indianapolis/ Seattle game was unavailable. I'll take Indianapolis to win outright, but I must add Seneca Wallace is playing outstanding. This is a shoot-out if a Seahawks kicker doesn't miss two easy field goals. I'm taking Indy to win by two points so use that to see who to take when the spread becomes available. ***

Indianapolis 36, Seattle 34
