NFL Week 4 betting preview & top tips: Sunday, October 1

Week four of the NFL season is upon us, bringing with it a packed schedule of 14 exciting games. As we approach the quarter-mark of the season, many NFL teams are at a pivotal juncture. Here are our top selections for Sunday’s matchups.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs Atlanta Falcons preview

This Sunday, the NFL takes its talents to London, where unpredictability often reigns supreme. Nonetheless, we’re sticking with a reliable choice. Calvin Ridley, the standout wide receiver for the Jaguars, has consistently hauled in deep passes, with each game this season featuring a reception of over 23 yards. With quarterback Trevor Lawrence’s trust in him, we anticipate Ridley’s aerial dominance continuing at Wembley, especially against the Falcons’ vulnerable pass defense.

Cleveland Browns vs Baltimore Ravens preview

In this AFC North showdown, we’re leaning toward the home team, the Cleveland Browns. Both teams have performed admirably through three games, each boasting a 2-1 record. However, the Ravens have shown some offensive disarray, and although it hasn’t been a major issue thus far, the Browns’ formidable defense should capitalize on their mistakes. Cleveland has already held their opponents to just three points in two games this season, showcasing their defensive prowess, which should prove pivotal in this matchup.

Tennessee Titans vs Cincinnati Bengals preview

Ja’Marr Chase, the immensely talented wide receiver for the Bengals, has yet to find the endzone this season, but he’s averaged 11 touchdowns per season during his two-year career. The Titans’ defense has struggled to contain the passing game, ranking sixth in most passing yards allowed this season. With the Bengals poised for a strong aerial performance, Chase is likely to be a key contributor. At +130 odds with the top betting sites, this presents an excellent wager on one of the league’s premier playmakers.

New Orleans Saints vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers preview

Both teams enter this matchup with impressive 2-1 records, but we give the edge to the New Orleans Saints. Although the Saints may be without starting quarterback Derek Carr, backup Jameis Winston is more than capable. He should provide enough offensive firepower to secure the win, and the Saints boast one of the league’s top defensive units. In this divisional clash, we’re siding with the home team to cover.

Philadelphia Eagles vs Washington Commanders preview

This pick has become somewhat of a weekly staple. Jalen Hurts has already notched three rushing touchdowns in three games this season, following his impressive 13 touchdowns in 15 games last season. He remains the Eagles’ primary red-zone option, and there’s no indication of a change in that game plan. At -106 odds, this is a solid bet we’ll continue to back week after week.

Dallas Cowboys vs New England Patriots preview

The Dallas Cowboys appeared to be Super Bowl contenders in the first two weeks but stumbled against an inferior Cardinals team in their most recent outing. While they’re not as bad as that performance suggests, it does raise concerns. On the flip side, the Patriots may have struggled, but their elite defense should keep them competitive in this matchup. Given the Cowboys’ uncertainties, taking the Patriots with the points (+6.5) looks like a wise choice.

Los Angeles Chargers vs Las Vegas Raiders preview

This pick carries a bit of a risk, but it’s one with potential rewards. With the Chargers losing star wide receiver Mike Williams to injury, the door opens for Quentin Johnston, their first-round pick from the last NFL Draft. Johnston, a big-bodied receiver, should excel in red-zone situations and is likely to be a featured target in this game. Facing the Raiders’ struggling defense, the Chargers should find the endzone comfortably. At +260, Johnston presents an enticing option to score.

New York Jets vs Kansas City Chiefs preview

Sunday night football could be a one-sided affair, with the Chiefs expected to dominate the Jets. In this scenario, Travis Kelce, the Chiefs’ premier playmaker, should play a prominent role. Kelce has found the end zone in every game this season and is one of the most reliable scoring options in the NFL. With the Chiefs expected to score heavily, -122 odds make Kelce an attractive choice.
