Zac's Backs: Week 4 NFL Picks

Welcome back to the only NFL picks here on Associated Content that are just returning from Boston. This is the week 4 edition of Zac's Backs.

I got ten right again? Wow. Consistency, thy name is Zac's Backs. A higher winning percentage would be very helpful in my football pool. That is, if I did one...

The wife surprised me this past weekend with a trip to Boston to celebrate turning the big 2-5. I got to see Fenway for the first time and enjoy an Indians victory. Not a bad night. The trip has tired me out, though, so my NFL picks will be somewhat shorter than normal. With that said, let's get things started.

Minnesota at Tennessee

Everybody is talking about the quarterback situation in Tennessee but it's their defense that should be turning heads. Meanwhile, the Vikes have turned to Gus Frerotte to cure their ills. Hmm.

Winner: Tennessee

Denver at Kansas City

Come see the Chiefs: We may be worse than the Browns!

Winner: Denver

San Francisco at New Orleans

The 49ers have not looked great but they're still a 2-1 football team. New Orleans is a shaky 1-2 squad that hasn't been able to put "it" together yet. I like the Saints at home in this one.

Winner: New Orleans

Arizona at New York J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets

A few of my friends have been wondering if I will pick the Jets once this season. I went back and forth on this one in the car on the way back towards the city. I just don't believe the Jets can stop the Arizona offense (I can't believe I'm writing that with a straight face but it's true). Brett and company need the bye week to get things fully together. Will it be too late by then?

Winner: Arizona

Green Bay at Tampa Bay

This one shouldn't be close. After being embarrassed on national television, the Packers will come back in convincing form.

Winner: Green Bay

Atlanta at Carolina

I still won't believe in Atlanta and you can't make me.

Winner: Carolina

Houston at Jacksonville

The (future) wife and I were listening to this one in the car on the way to the hotel on Sunday. You know a game is good when you're on the edge of your seat while listening to Dan Reeves. I feel like Houston shouldn't be winless this far into the season but they aren't beating the Jags this week.
