NFL Betting - Week 4 Picks
Posted by kajsdjh kajsdjh on Thursday, November 15, 2012
San Diego Chargers @ Pittsburgh Steelers
Chargers Steelers odds: Steelers -6.5
It might be hard to believe when you look at the standings in the AFC North, but the Pittsburgh Steelers are in third place in the division. Obviously, the Cleveland Browns are last but what may surprise you is that the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals are both ahead.
The Steelers had a surprising loss to the Bengals last week and even though it's early in the season, they need to make up some ground. When you think about it, had it not been for a fluky loss to the Denver Broncos in the opener, the Bengals would also be 3-0.
The Steelers come back home to face the Chargers in what should be a very good game. The Steelers will again be without Pro Bowl safety Troy Polamalu, who is out with an injury. The Steelers are now 0-2 without Polamalu in the lineup.

For San Diego, they struggled on the road in Oakland in their opening contest, then lost at home to Baltimore in Week 2. They come in with a winning record but they are a bit overrated. Look for the Steelers to come up with a big win, albeit a close one.

Detroit Lions @ Chicago BearsSportsbook odds: Bears -10
The Detroit Lions got their first win in a long time last week as they dumped the Washington Redskins but the sportsbook odds makers are not putting much faith into them this week. The Lions now have to head out on the road to Chicago, which is a place where they traditionally haven't had a ton of success. With a rookie quarterback on the road, the Lions should expect some mistakes. They also might be without their top running back, Kevin Smith.
The Lions have clearly turned a corner. They are the garbage team from last year that couldn't win a game. Even so, they aren't good enough to win on the road in most places. Look for them to struggle in this game.

The Bears have turned it around after an opening loss in Green Bay and have won two straight games. The Bears won at home against Pittsburgh and on the road in Seattle. With Jay Cutler at the helm, the Bears are going to be in every contest this year and they'll win games like this.
NFL picks: Bears -10
