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.
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
