NFL 2022 Week 4 picks

 I had a tough week last week, and I'm picking lots of visiting teams this week.  Not a great combination, but I'll risk it anyway.

Thursday night

Miami Dolphins at Cincinnati Bengals : The Dolphin strive to keep their perfect record intact.  The Bengals can be an obstacle, but they need to play a near flawless game.  They have problems with that, and the Dolphins defense loves to throw off opponents.  DOLPHINS, 23-16

Sunday morning

Minnesota Vikings at New Orleans Saints : The NFL returns to England to spotlight some tricky offense and tough defense.  The Saints are still finding their equilibrium, so I think the Vikings have an advantage.  VIKINGS, 31-26

Sunday early games

Buffalo Bills at Baltimore Ravens : The Bills want to make up for their tight loss to the Dolphins, but if there is any team that can slow down the Bills offense, it's the Ravens.  This game could swing the other way.  BILLS, 24-20

Chicago Bears at New York Giants : The Giants are unbeaten, leaning heavily on Saquan Barkley.  With the strong rush defense of the Bears, that might not succeed in this game.  BEARS, 20-13

Cleveland Browns at Atlanta Falcons : The Falcons offense just isn't working.  BROWNS, 17-6

Jacksonville Jaguars at Philadelphia Eagles : Two unbeaten teams face off this week.  Which one will crack?  The Jags have been very impressive, but they are not used to this pressure.  EAGLES, 27-24

New York Jets at Pittsburgh Steelers : The Jets have another offense that isn't working.  STEELERS, 13-6

Los Angeles Chargers at Houston Texans : Two strong defenses face off.  The difference may come down to special teams, which benefits LA.  CHARGERS, 16-13

Seattle Seahawks at Detroit Lions : Seattle just doesn't play well away from home, and the Lions are showing strength.  LIONS, 20-16

Tennessee Titans at Indianapolis Colts : Perhaps the biggest disappointment so far this season is Tennessee, who can't seem to get rolling.  I'm not sure they've figured out what's wrong, so I think that problem will continue.  The Colts aren't exactly doing well, but they have shown some flashes.  COLTS, 20-13

Washington Commanders at Dallas Cowboys : The Cowboys don't seem to lost much under Connor Rush.  Are we foreshadowing a quarterback controversy? COWBOYS, 23-16

Sunday late games

Arizona Cardinals at Carolina Panthers : I don't see the Panthers doing much against the Cardinals defense.  CARDINALS, 17-10

Denver Broncos at Las Vegas Raiders : The Raiders defense is good, but they keep falling short.  BRONCOS, 23-13

New England Patriots at Green Bay Packers : The Pack is back, and the Pats have no chance.  PACKERS, 27-13

Sunday night

Kansas City Chiefs at Tampa Bay Bucs : This may be the most exiting game of the weekend, and the lead will likely change hands several times.  I think this will come down to who has the ball last, and that comes from time management.  That's advantage -- Andy Reid.  CHIEFS, 27-23

Monday Night Football

Los Angeles Rams at San Francisco 49ers : Very often these games go opposite than I expected.  I wanted to pick the 39ers, so I'll change gears and pick the Rams.  RAMS, 20-16
