Fearless Rick & Coin Flip NFL Week 4 Late Games
All times Eastern
Indianapolis Colts at Los Angeles Rams (-3.5, 49.5) 4:05 pm - This would have been a match-up of unbeaten if not for the Rams having their potential game-winning FG blocked and returned for a TD last week at Philly, so it’s hard to fault the oddsmakers putting them up as favorites at home.
The Colts were expected to be good this season, but how good? Wins over Miami and Tennessee were blowouts, sandwiching a 29-28 home win over the Broncos. Daniel Jones seems to be loving life with his new teammates, and they may be good enough to win here. There hasn’t been been a lot of consistency in the league yet, so here’s maybe another head-scratcher.
Coin Flip: Indianapolis
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Colts 31 Rams 26
The question is whether Trevor Lawrence is finding his best stride or if the Jags are just good at home. We’ll find out here. Brock Purdy may still not be ready to play and now backup Mac Jones is dinged up and listed as questionable as well. Last season, injuries really hampered the 49ers. Could it happen again?
Coin Flip: Jacksonville
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Jaguars 24 49ers 20
Baltimore has had serious issues stopping anything that moves and the Chiefs offense has looked just a little short of pathetic. Neither QB, Mahomes or Jackson sees to be in a good mood about the way things are going, and Lamar actually seemed irked about Derrick Henry’s inability to crease the line of scrimmage in last week’s loss to the Lions.
Both teams have very tough schedules ahead and a loss here would be damaging to morale. Interestingly, the Ravens are favored, and it cold go either way. Maybe just take the over and hope for the best.
Coin Flip: Baltimore
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Chiefs 34 Ravens 33
It cold be the most meaningless game thus far this season as neither team is likely to reach the playoffs, and even the oddsmakers are stumped.
Flip a coin. Oh, we did.
Coin Flip: Las Vegas
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Raiders 24 Bears 19
The line indicates that the Cowboys are just pretending to be a good team, but making the Packers a seven-point favorite on the road just smells fishy, especially on a Sunday night contest. If NBC needs the ratings (they do), this one better be close.
Coin Flip: Green Bay
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Packers 26 Cowboys 24
New York Jets at Miami Dolphins (-3, 45) 7:15 pm - Is this what Monday night has become? An insufferable contest between 0-3 teams to decide which will own the basement of the AFC East?
Guess that’s it, though the Dolphins deserve an edge if Justin Fields isn’t 100% and they’re at home, which should count for something. Hard to gauge which of these teams is worse, though it actually could be Miami.
Coin Flip: Miami
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Jets 21 Dolphins 13
It’s too bad about Burrow, but if you can’t avoid repeatedly being injured the Hall of Fame becomes a place you just visit. Meanwhile, the Broncos are probably the best 1-2 team in the league. Bo Nix should have a field day against Cincinnati’s defense.
Coin Flip: Denver
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Broncos 41 Bengals 16
