Three big-time games headline what should be a fun week four in the NFL. Where will these teams stand as we head towards the (almost) quarter mark of the season?
π¦ Eagles vs. Jaguars π

The Jaguars and Eagles both come in at second and third, respectively, in point differential after three games. The best run defense in the NFL? That will be Jacksonville, who are one of three teams that haven't allowed a score on the ground this season. Offensively, Doug Pederson has saved Trevor Lawrence and the offense, and they were flying in wins against the Colts and Chargers. Speaking of Doug, he returns to Philadelphia for the first time since being let go by the Eagles a few seasons ago. The Eagles are the only undefeated team left in the NFL and they do it by controlling the skies. They lead the league in yards per pass attempt (9.4 yards/attempt) and defensive yards per pass attempt (4.4 yards/attempt). My take?
The Line (via PointsBet): Eagles -6.5 (-107), Jacksonville ML +275, O/U 45.5 (-107)
𦬠Bills vs. Ravens π¦

It's strength against strength.
Lamar Jackson has had one heck of a season, accounting for an impressive 85.4% of his team's offense as he rises up the MVP rankings (+600 on PointsBet). Baltimore, pay this man! The Bills defense, despite missing many of its defensive stars, still kept Miami in check and is still one of the stingiest defenses in the NFL, especially against the run.The game is in Baltimore, with remnants of Hurricane Ian due to strike Sunday afternoon. Despite the weather though, this has potential to be the game of the week.The Lines: Bills -3 (-105, -107 the other way), O/U 51 (-107 / -105), Ravens ML +135
π Chiefs vs. Buccaneers π΄ββ οΈ

This Sunday night matchup is a rematch of Super Bowl LV, and it should be an excellent contest, despite the effects of Ian playing center stage in Western Florida. Both teams are smarting after surprise losses last week, and the Chiefs feature an offense that has made a multitude of red zone trips (24 in total), while the Bucs have the league's best scoring defense (9 ppg allowed). The Buccaneers have a number of studs on the injury report (Chris Godwin, Akeem Hicks, and Breshad Perriman) who could tip the scales in this matchup. For now though, Vegas has this as an essential pick 'em contest.The Lines: Chiefs -0.5 (-107 both ways), O/U 45.5 (-107 both ways), Both ML are -107.
Escobar's heroics kept the Mets ahead, but for how long? (Corey Sipkin / NY Post)
October baseball is just around the corner, and we have just one division race to solve - the NL East.The New York Mets (98-58) have been in front or held a share of the NL East lead for 173 of the 176 days of the MLB season, but a hot-charging Atlanta Braves (97-59) squad has kept pace, and they now sit one game back with a three-game series in Atlanta looming, beginning Friday night.The Braves are 4-1 over their last five games, and have hot bats in William Contreras (.971 OPS) and rookie Michael Harris II (.929 OPS in September), while the Mets have Francisco Lindor riding a 13-game hitting streak, and Pete Alonso's five homers and 13 RBI in his last eight games. Pitching for the Mets this weekend are aces Jacob DeGrom (Friday) and Max Scherzer (Saturday) along with Chris Bassitt (Sunday), while the defending champs will bring out fellow studs in Max Fried (Friday), Kyle Wright (Saturday), and Charlie Morton (Sunday). This will be a fun weekend of baseball.Series Lines (via FanDuel): Mets -120 to win series, Braves +102Braves to win in a sweep: +700Braves to win 2-1: +145Mets to win in a sweep: +550Mets to win 2-1: +125
Will Trinaldo stop the "Rude Boy" win streak? (Mark J. Rebilas, USA TODAY Sports)
