Welcome
to week four. Lucky Lester has identified trends and
expects to improve his already gaudy 25-18-3 record
with some enticing match ups this week. You can read
my review of how the previous week played out
against my picks.
SUPER
PICKS
I'm
taking 4 teams this week for my Super Picks and they
look like good bets. Perhaps this is the week that
Granny gets her house back!.
The Titans (-3) @ Chargers: Titans don't
lose a lot with back up Billy Volek subbing for McNair.
Volek passed for almost 300 yards in his last outing.
Running back Chris Brown looks like an elite performer.
San Diego's anemic passing attack provides little
support for superstar LaDaineian Tomlinsom.
Game Date: 10/03/04 16:15 ET
The
Rams(-3.5) @ 49ers: Lucky has consistently
maintained that the 49ers will be fortunate to win
a single game. Rams QB Mark Bulger will put up huge
numbers because the 49ers lack the ability to pressure
him. Receivers Holt and Bruce cannot be covered for
very long. Game Date: 10/03/04 20:35 ET
Chiefs@
Ravens(-5.5): The chiefs cannot be happy about
going to Baltimore, they match up poorly with the
Ravens. The Ravens ferocious defense will contain
Priest Holmes, the Ravens running back Jamal Lewis
should rumble for at least 200 yards against the Chiefs
pitiful run defense.
Game Date: 10/04/04 21:05 ET
Saints
(-3) @ Cardinals: Saints QB Aaron Brooks should
find success against the Cardinals 27th ranked defense.
Aaron Stecker, playing for the injured Deuce McAllister,
had over a hundred yards rushing last week.
Game Date: 10/03/04 16:05 ET
Lucky
Lester's Picks For Week Four
Bengals
@ Steelers (-4.5): Steelers will take advantage
of Carson Palmers tendency to turn the ball over,
and will control the game on the ground with running
back Duce Staley. Cincinnati defense is the second
to last unit in the league. Game Date: 10/03/04
13:00 ET
Giants
(+7) @ Packers: Take the generous point spread
against this Packer team that has huge injury concerns
on defense. Their defensive backfield is a mess and
they can't stop the run either. Kurt Warner seems
born again and is playing with confidence. Warner
will burn the blitz-happy Packer defense.
Game Date: 10/03/04 13:00 ET
Redskins
(-3) @ Browns: Both offenses are sputtering, so
take the much better defense with a small point outlay
here. Clinton Portis should have a field day against
the Browns struggling defense. Game Date: 10/03/04
13:00 ET
Colts
(-3.5) @ Jaguars: This is the big game of the
day, matching the undefeated Jaguars against the Colts
offensive juggernaut. Three and a half seems like
a small price to pay for this Colt team that is firing
on all cylinders. The good young Jaguar defense will
play hard but Jacksonville's inability to score will
make the difference. Game Date: 10/03/04 13:00
ET
Eagles
(-9) @ Bears: New Bears quarterback Jonathan Quinn
could not face a tougher first opponent. The Eagles
varied blitz packages will make his life miserable.
The Eagles McNabb is having an MVP like season, and
should find Terrel Owens for several scores. The Bears
are missing three starters in the defensive backfie.
Game Date: 10/03/04 13:00 ET
Patriots
(-5.5) @ Bills: New England will dominate the
Bills sub par offensive line. Patriots will be in
Bledsoe's face all day. Bledsoe's limited mobility,
and that's being kind, will once again result in numerous
sacks. Tom Brady will find enough openings in a good
Bills defense to secure a victory.
Game Date: 10/03/04 13:00 ET
Raiders
(-2.5) @ Texans: Raiders are a better team with
the strong-armed Collins at quarterback. Their young
receivers are speedy and excel in the vertical passing
game. The Texans are missing their best offensive
performer, Domanick Davis. Game Date: 10/03/04
13:00 ET
Falcons
@ Panthers (-3.5): The Falcons Michael Vick
appears confused running his new West Coast offense.
The Panthers awesome front four should contain and
frustrate him. Carolina running back DeShaun Foster
showed last week that he is more than capable of getting
the job done.
Game Date: 10/03/04 16:05 ET
Broncos
(-3) @ Buccaneers: Three points seems a small
amount to lay for the Broncos against the winless
Buccaneers. The Buccaneers offense has been terrible
and should pose no threat to the tough top rated Bronco
defense.
Game Date: 10/03/04 16:15 ET
Jets
(-6) @ Dolphins: Dolphins switch quarterbacks
again in a futile effort to score some points, dolphins
need turnovers to stay in the game and the Jets Pennington
won't oblige. Game Date: 10/03/04 16:15 ET
