Here we go with our week 4 sharp bets.

New England at Buffalo

Sean’s Pick: New England -7

The first pick I’m rolling with is the New England Patriots -7 against the Buffalo Bills at 1 PM at Ralph Wilson Stadium.

Everyone knows the Patriots are off to a red hot start this season, outscoring their opponents 106-17 through the first 3 weeks. This is impressive but everyone has pointed their finger at the competition, which has included the abysmal Miami Dolphins and the New York Jets led by third string quarterback Luke Falk. However, the 33-3 win over the Big Ben led Steelers shows what this team is capable of.

The Pats would have covered in all 3 games this season if Tom Brady wasn’t pulled up 30-0 early in the 4th quarter vs the Jets.

The Patriots now travel to the only opponent in the AFC east they haven’t faced yet, the 3-0 Buffalo Bills. The Bills have started off this season hot, with wins over the Jets, Vikings, and Giants.

While Josh Allen has played well this season, the talk of the town is the defense. The Bills defense is regarded as one of the best in the league. However, the competition they have faced does not compare to the Tom Brady led Patriots offense. The Pats have put up 33, 43, and 30 points in their 3 games.

However, just like the Bills. The talk of the town is about this Patriots defense. They haven’t allowed a defensive touchdown all season. Only one field goal against the Steelers in week 1. (The other 14 points coming off a pick 6, and muffed punt for a TD against the Jets.) I think the Bills offense will struggle greatly against the Patriots stellar secondary.

Even with numerous injuries I believe that Belichick and Brady will find a way to put up 20+ points on the Bills defense. I think the Bills and Josh Allen will struggle to score and this will be more than a one score game.

Lock in Pats -7 before the line moves.

Dallas at New Orleans

Sean’s Pick: Dallas -2.5

For my second pick of the week we’re going with the Dallas Cowboys -2.5 against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday Night Football in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

The Saints and Cowboys were both two of the top NFL teams coming into this season. The Cowboys still are, but the Saints HOF QB Drew Brees hurt his hand and is sidelined for a few weeks.

The Cowboys on the other hand are swinging with full momentum right now. Dak Prescott is an early MVP candidate, and the defense looks good. The Cowboys haven’t played any extremely tough opponents yet, but they will soon. I think this Cowboys team is legit and has a serious chance to make the playoffs.

The Saints are still winning without Brees, as backup Teddy Bridgewater beat the Seahawks 33-27. Despite winning that game, the Seahawks absolutely dominated the Saints. They dominated them 515 to 265 in terms of yardage. The Saints offense was given 13 free points after a Fumble recovery for a TD and punt return for a TD.

I doubt these events will repeat vs. the Cowboys.

The Cowboys offense has looked explosive as Dak Prescott has played out of his mind throwing for 9 TDs and over 1,000 yards in just 3 games. This Saints secondary will be exploited again, and we can look for Ezekiel Elliot to get things going on the ground.

I’m not sold yet on the Saints led by Teddy Bridgewater, and this is the best the Cowboys have looked in years. Take the Points.

Lock in -2.5 before it moves to -3.
