Meanwhile, Jimmy Garoppolo’s drop out of the back of the end zone helped the Broncos (+1.5) win against San Francisco, 11-10. The 49ers are still 2.5-point favorites in the Week 4 NFL spreads NFL bad beats are a part of the game, but every week offers a clean slate of matchups for your NFL bets.

Top Week 4 NFL predictions

One of the model’s strongest Week 4 NFL picks is that the Steelers (-3) cover against the Jets. Joe Flacco’s intriguing start to the season appeared to come to an end in Week 3, when he completed just 28-of-52 passes with no touchdowns and two interceptions in a loss to Cincinnati. Meanwhile, quarterback Zach Wilson will make his return to action in Week 4 following his recovery from a preseason meniscus injury.

While Wilson’s return is bad news for Flacco, it should be welcome to those backing the Steelers. Wilson wasn’t dangerous when he was on the field last season and should be even less so this week if he is cleared to play. The model predicts that Wilson will just clear 200 yards passing with a turnover against a diminished Pittsburgh defense. The Jets were competitive two weeks ago against Cleveland, but the Steelers cover in nearly 60 percent of simulations while New York’s offense should sputter.

Another one of its Week 4 NFL predictions: The Lions (-4) cover the spread at home versus the Seahawks. After ranking 25th in scoring last year, the Lions now rank second this season, and it’s primarily due to their success on the ground.

The team leads the NFL with 5.9 yards per carry, ranks second with five rushing touchdowns, and is fourth with 511 rushing yards. Quarterback Jared Goff has also been clutch, as Detroit’s offense has scored 11 touchdowns across 13 red zone trips. That 84.6% conversion rate ranks third in the league. Detroit’s running game is projected to produce over 100 yards, while Goff has two touchdowns and over 250 yards through the air. The Lions cover in over 50 percent of simulations. See which other teams to pick here.
