NFL Top 10 and Week 4 Top Picks

1 - NY Giants 3-0 (Last week 1)
Dominating defense by the Giants in a 24-0 win on the road against the Bucs and that was without two of their defensive stalwarts.

2 - NY Jets 3-0 (Last week 2)
A bigger test for the Jets with Tennessee visiting last week. The offense went into a funk for the middle part of the game but did enough to stay undefeated.

3 - New Orleans 3-0 (Last week 5)
A solid road win that was never really in doubt against a Bills team that is playing good football. A challenge next week when they host the Jets.

4 - Baltimore 3-0 (Last week 6)
Sure they were only hosting the Browns, but a dominating 34-3 serves as a warm up for next weekends trip to Foxborough.

5 - Indianapolis 3-0 (Last week 7)
Another easy win, but an impressive air show against the Cardinals on the road. 379 yards and 4 TD passes for Peyton, but they did allow 332 yards passing.

6 - Minnesota 3-0 (Last week 3)
A bit of a tumble down the rankings despite the win against a tough 49ers team. Does Favre have another miracle up his sleeve for next week when the Packers come to visit?

7 - New England 2-1 (Last week 8)
The Patriots may be rounding into form with their home win against the Falcons. Next week is the test against the Ravens.

8 - Philadelphia 2-1 (Last week unranked)
The Eagles have not missed a beat with Kolb at the helm filling in for the injured McNabb. Another 300+ yard passing day backed up by their top 5 defense.

9 - Chicago 2-1 (Last week 9)
A solid win on the coast at Seattle keeps them in the top 10 and ahead of the Packers. Not sure how they’ll do when the schedule starts to toughen up.

10 - San Francisco 2-1 (Last week 10)
A heartbreaking lost on the last second miracle by Favre. The loss of Gore will hurt but they still should be able to get past the Rams with the tough brand of ball they are playing under Singletary.

Top Picks for Week 4 (Last week 2-1, Season 6-3)

Take Green Bay and 3 ½ points at Minnesota. I see this game staying within a field goal so I’m jumping on the early line to take the Pack against Favre.

Take Dallas and give the 2 ½ points on the road in Denver. The Broncos are 3-0 but I’m looking for that to end against a Dallas team that needs to keep pace with the Giants and Eagles.

Take San Diego and 6 points at Pittsburgh. Hard to bet the Charges at Pittsburgh, but so far the Steelers have done nothing to impress and 6 points are too hard to reset with Rivers playing great early in the season.
