This time round, the Eagles are 2-point favorites at Tampa, regardless of being banged up.

Recreation of the Week
The matchup that stands out most in NFL Week 4 odds is the Buffalo Payments vs. the Baltimore Ravens.Â
Josh Allen has the Payments at 3-0 straight up (SU)/2-1 towards the unfold (ATS). Lamar Jackson and the Ravens (1-2 SU and ATS) wanted three weeks to get their first win, holding off Dallas 28-25 on the street.
However Baltimore is favored to get No. 2 on Sunday night time.
“We’re taking Payments motion, however we’ve seen line motion the opposite approach,” Feazel mentioned, noting final week’s lookahead line was Ravens -1.5, and the Ravens at the moment are -2.5. “However I don’t see this going to three, with the quantity of Payments cash that can come into the market.”
The overall is up some extent from 45.5 to 46.5.
“What we’ve seen to this point is numerous Over cash. The Ravens are often called a defensive crew, however they’ve taken a step again. All three video games have gone over the whole,” Feazel mentioned.
And the Payments are scoring factors in bushels (37.3 ppg). In Week 3 at house, Buffalo throttled Jacksonville 47-10.
“Payments offensive coordinator Joe Brady has actually impressed me. He’s placing opposing defensive coordinators within the spin cycle,” Feazel mentioned.
NFL Sharp Aspect Skilled bettor Randy McKay appreciated the Packers and Lions towards the unfold final week, and he received there with each wagers. This week, he’s concerned with three video games, together with the aforementioned Payments-Ravens showdown.
“I took Baltimore -2 at house. Buffalo being spectacular to this point has created worth for the house crew Baltimore, which ought to be capable of have success working the soccer,” McKay mentioned.

NFL Fast Hitters
Feazel provided his behind-the-counter insights on two different notable video games in NFL Week 4 odds:
- Seahawks vs. Lions: As talked about above, that is the Monday night time recreation, with Detroit (2-1 SU and ATS) at house towards semi-surprising Seattle (3-0 SU/1-1-1 ATS). “We’ve seen some motion towards the Seahawks,” Feazel mentioned of a selection that opened at Lions -4.5 and touched -5, however midweek is right down to -3.5. “However the Lions could also be the most effective crew within the NFC, and the protection is including to that. Aidan Hutchinson is completely wreaking havoc on opposing quarterbacks. I don’t see this going to Lions -3. If something, it’s gonna go larger. I believe sharper bettors actually respect this Lions crew.”
- Vikings vs. Packers: Jordan Love (knee) missed Weeks 2 and three, although Inexperienced Bay received each video games. He is likely to be again Sunday, and the Packers are 2.5-point house favorites at Caesars. “If he performs, we might see this undergo 3, perhaps to three.5 and 4.
