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
