Johnson's NFL Week 4

OVERALL RECORD:  8-8  ($10+)

---------------------------------------------------------------

Ugly week last week....1-4 and not really close on anything.  Onward and upward!

Minnesota Vikings -3  ($110 to win $100)

Nice momentum win coming back against the Lions last week taking advantage of Detroit doing Detroit things.  Who else does Detroit things?  New Orleans.  Jameis is more than likely out in this game, and even if he goes he's not even close to 100%.  This is a game where Kirk Cousins shines...9am EST...stadium where most people will not be pressuring him...a game where nobody cares essentially as sad as it is.  Don't think the Saints have enough offense especially without Thomas on the outside...Vikings defense can focus in on Kamara and get the job done. 

Prediction:  Vikings 23  Saints 13

Jacksonville vs Philadelphia OVER 45.5  ($110 to win $100)

Is it possible that the Jaguars...have a good offense?  Is it possible that the Eagles...are the best team in the league?  Two things that heading into the season most NFL fans would not have been saying.  Lawrence looks much more comfortable this year with Doug Pederson putting in a scheme that works...Christian Kirk is stepping up and making a good case to be a #1 guy.  Robinson is a big play machine in the backfield as well.  Hesitated a little bit because of the Eagles defense that they showed last week...but the Jags are not as feeble as the Commanders offense.  Eagles have been putting up points at a great clip, Jalen Hurts is clearly a star in the making.  I see both teams easily getting into the 20's, maybe more.

Prediction:  Eagles 28  Jaguars 24

NY Jets +3.5 ($110 to win $100)

Playing the number here.  I don't think the Steelers are more than 3 points better than anyone right now, even the Jets.  This one smells like an upset to me, and possibly a game where Trubisky looks so bad that they get to see Kenny Pickett get in the game.  The one thing Zach Wilson needs and when he looks his best is obviously when he has time to throw.  Ever since TJ Watt went down, the Steelers just can't generate pressure on the QB.  Saw it last week where the Browns were able to just march right down the field time and time again.  I don't think the Jets have that capability, but with the weak Steelers offense, this one is a game they can grab.

Prediction:  Jets 20  Steelers 16

Get them back today 

I love me a good push...thankfully he missed that PAT 

Got back late today...but had this one as well....

Cleveland Browns -1  ($110 to win $100)

Brissett has enough to not screw it up, and the Falcons suck.  Browns should have a very similar play book to last week against the Steelers, control the clock and run it up and down the field.

Prediction:  Browns 27  Falcons 17
