In the turbulent storm that is the Sean Payton era with the Denver Broncos, betting on them has been a rollercoaster ride for fans. Joe Osborne shares the best NFL trends for Week 4, including Denver’s knack for fast starts and more.
The NFL season has been nothing short of chaos in the first three weeks. Teams that seemed unstoppable have faltered, and underdogs have risen to the occasion. As one observer noted, “One week you have the Raiders upsetting the Ravens, only to get trounced by the Panthers the next.” The unpredictability of each game makes the league truly captivating.
The Cincinnati Bengals are another perplexing case study. Despite losing games they were favored to win, they managed to challenge the formidable Kansas City Chiefs. It’s this unpredictability that keeps fans on the edge of their seats.
The Cowboys, on the other hand, have a solid trend in their favor. As Osborne points out, “The Cowboys are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games as a road favorite.” After consecutive losses at home, hitting the road might be exactly what they need to turn their luck around. Facing a Giants team they dominated last season, the Cowboys are poised for success as they seek redemption.
In stark contrast, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been a defensive force, keeping games low-scoring with an average combined score of just 25.6 points. Their upcoming match against the Indianapolis Colts promises to be another defensive showdown, with a total of 39.5 points projected.
As the NFL season continues to unfold, one thing is certain – expect the unexpected. With trends shifting and underdogs rising, every game is an opportunity for teams to prove themselves on any given Sunday. Stay tuned for more exciting matchups in Week 4.
