Tim MacMahon's NFL week 4 preview
03:29 AM CDT on Sunday, September 28, 2008
| Game | Time | Pick |
| Arizona (+1½) at NY Jets | Noon | Arizona, 27-21 |
| Brett Favre was the NFL's story of the summer, but the Cardinals' Kurt Warner has been the league's best greybeard quarterback this season. | ||
| Minnesota (+3) at Tennessee | Noon | Tennessee, 17-14 |
| If you enjoy watching good passing games, avoid this game at all costs. Both teams are playing with washed-up backup QBs and awful receiving corps. | ||
| Denver at Kansas City (+9½) | Noon | Denver, 38-10 |
| Broncos QB Jay Cutler's stats might drop after a phenomenal first three games, since he should spend the fourth quarter holding a clipboard and stifling giggles. | ||
| San Francisco (+5) at New Orleans | Noon | New Orleans, 31-20 |
| San Francisco fans had better enjoy the view above .500 while it lasts. | ||
| Atlanta (+7) at Carolina | Noon | Carolina, 24-14 |
| Don't be fooled by the Falcons' 2-1 record. They beat the Lions and Chiefs, a couple of teams that would be middle of the Big 12 pack. | ||
| Cleveland (+3½) at Cincinnati | Noon | Cincinnati, 24-21 |
| Had the Browns been this bad last season, Darren McFadden would be a Cowboy, not that fans here are complaining about the Arkansas RB whom Dallas drafted. | ||
| Green Bay (+1) at Tampa Bay | Noon | Green Bay, 24-17 |
| If Green Bay falls to .500, I probably won't hear nearly as much about this prediction as the last time I incorrectly picked the Packers to win. | ||
| Houston (+7) at Jacksonville | Noon | Jacksonville, 27-17 |
| As a fantasy owner of Matt Schaub and Sage Rosenfels (deep league), I sure hope the Texans make a change under center. | ||
| Buffalo at St. Louis (+8) | 3:05 p.m. | Buffalo, 24-7 |
| Rams QB Marc Bulger set a league record for quickest benching after signing a $60 million deal. | ||
| San Diego at Oakland (+7½) | 3:05 p.m. | San Diego, 35-20 |
| Maybe Norv Turner, who has experience coaching for crazy Al Davis, will take it easy on lame duck Lane Kiffin. | ||
| Philadelphia at Chicago (+3) | 7:15 p.m. | Chicago, 17-13 |
| Donovan McNabb and Brian Westbrook are banged up, making the Eagles prime candidates to be upset victims on the road. | ||
| Baltimore (+5½) at Pittsburgh | 7:30 p.m. Monday | Pittsburgh, 16-10 |
| Steelers will win with dominant defense, as long as rookie RB Rashard Mendenhall's butterfingers don't hand the Ravens easy points. | ||
