Charlie’s Picks for Week #4

1024 689 Charlie the Unicorn

Welcome back to the Charlie The Unicorns Weekly Feature. NFL Week 4 is here.
For the record, 33-15 overall (straight-up)….. The major injuries have really been piling on some of the big dog teams, so we better be careful picking games this week!

Lot’s of work to do this week, so keep this brief. The number of stars rank the best games, in my opinion, to sink your precious time into watching.

BYE WEEK: Patriots, Titans

Thursday Football (OCT 1)

Ravens at Steelers 8:25 PM CBS/NFL (*****)

Point Spread : -3.0 Ravens
O/U : 43.5

Ravens have their starting QB….. on the road, but Flacco is just good enough to win right?

Prediction: 24 – 21 Ravens

Sunday Football (OCT 4) EASTERN TIME Broadcast

Jets at Dolphins 9:30 AM CBS (***) / London

Point Spread : -1.0 Jets
O/U : 41.0

I’ll walk out of a ledge and back the fish. But they have screwed me so far this year.

Prediction: 27 – 17 Fish

Jaguars at Colts 1:00 PM CBS (*)

Point Spread : -10.0 Colts
O/U: 48.0

The Colts can’t lose at home right? right? Luck is currently injured, if he sits…. all bets are off.

Prediction: 30 – 20 Colts

Giants at Bills 1:00 PM FOX

Point Spread : -5.5 Bills
O/U: 46.0

I really love the Bills, what they are doing as a team. Victor Cruz missing from the Giants makes me back away from them in this game…

Prediction: 30 – 24 Bills

Panthers at Buccaneers 1:00 PM FOX

Point Spread : -3.0 Panthers
O/U: 40.0

Panthers are rolling. Let see Superman do his thing one more week, with a rushing TD.

Prediction: 26 – 23 Panthers

Eagles at Redskins 1:00 PM FOX

Point Spread : -3.0 Eagles
0/U: 44.5

Did we see the real Eagles last week? That is the BIG question. If they stay away from rushing Murray they might just win.

Prediction: 33 – 30 Eagles

Raiders at Bears 1:00 PM CBS

Point Spread : -3.0 Raiders
0/U: 44.5

The Bears are in full dumpster-fire mode. Let’s not mess up getting the number 1 pick here ok…

Prediction: 30 – 14 Raiders

Texans at Falcons 1:00 PM CBS (*)

Point Spread : -7.0 Falcons
O/U: 46.5

Falcons have been playing some outstanding football. The defense has done just enough… and who can stop Julio Jones!

Prediction: 40 – 13 Falcons

Chiefs at Bengals 1:00 PM CBS

Point Spread : -4.0 Chiefs
O/U: 44.5

I’m going to take the home team. I know I know, I’m betting on a ginger. The Bengals have to make a positive step forward at home someday!

Prediction: 37 – 34 Bengals

Browns at Chargers 4:05 PM CBS (*)

Point Spread : -9.0 Chargers
O/U: 44.5

I’ll go “bolo tie” at home. Browns are teetering right now. Jury is still out about Manziel playing. If he does, they might have a chance.

Prediction: 37 – 20 Chargers

Packers at 49ers 1:00 PM FOX (**)

Point Spread : -9.5 Packers
O/U: 48.5

I actually want to pick the 49ers here. There is something funny about this game to me. But, I’ll play it safe and back the -5 PFF QB Rodgers in this game.

Prediction: 52 – 10 Packers

Rams at Cardinals 4:05 PM FOX (***)

Point Spread : -7.5 Cardinals
O/U: 42.5

I think you have to take the home team. Defense is playing hot. The offense is playing above average. I can’t back Foles Gold just yet…. sorry Loyal

Prediction: 33 – 13 Cardinals

Vikings at Broncos 4:25 PM CBS

Point Spread : -7.0 Broncos
O/U: 43.0

Take the Broncos D at home. They will score more than the Vikings offense. Future HoFer AP might still have a good game but it won’t be enough.

Prediction: 29 – 24 Broncos

Sunday Night Football

Cowboys at Saints 8:30 PM NBC (***)

Point Spread : Even
O/U: 44.5

Saints at home used to be a lock. Both starting QBs are most likely out. I’m going with the Cows by a late TD by the TE Witten.

Prediction: 24 – 21 Cowboys

Monday Night Football (OCT 5)

Lions at Seahawks 4:25 PM FOX

Point Spread : -10.5 Seahawks
O/U: 43.0

I think this will be a very close game, Seattle might even be down late in the game. Can the rookie sensation Tyler Lockett pull another rabbit out of his hat on a return TD?

Prediction: 17 – 6 Seahawks

Remember SKAsians, don’t hate the player, hate the game.
