The 2024 NFL season hasn't started well for the championship contenders. Several of the favorites have been eliminated in the first three weeks. Last week, the Buccaneers, Browns, Raiders, 49ers and Bengals were all eliminated as championship favorites.
As it turns out, my predictions haven't been that good. My confident prediction last week was 7-9 overall. My confident prediction for the season has been a bit closer to 3-6.
As we approach Week 4, it's time to make our confident predictions. We predict the winners of every match on the schedule and give each prediction a confidence level: high, medium or low.
Here is my list of predictions for Week 4. The games with three asterisks (***) after them are games I expect the underdog to win in my betting: There are three underdogs that are likely to win this week, but there are a lot of little numbers at the sportsbooks this week so things might get a little crazy.
High confidence (3-6)
Cowboys beat Giants
Jets beat Broncos
Texans beat Jaguars
49ers beat Patriots
Chiefs beat Chargers
Medium Confidence (17-7)
Bengals beat Panthers
Vikings beat Packers ***

Lions beat Seahawks
Low self-confidence (7-8)

Rams beat Bears ***

Raiders beat Browns
Ravens beat Bills
Titans beat Dolphins ***
