Fearless Rick's NFL Preseason Week 4 Picks - Early Games

Rick Gagliano | August 28-29

All times Eastern - Click here for late games.

I employed a new secret method for this week's picks. Once the results are in, I may reveal some of the secret.

THU, AUG 28

NY Jets at Philadelphia (-3, 35 1/2) 6:30 PM Lincoln Financial Field - Both teams are 2-1, but Brett Favre won't have much success against the solid Philly secondary. He also won't play much more than four series. One for the defense.

Prediction: Eagles 21 Jets 10

Detroit at Buffalo (-2 1/2, 33) 6:30 PM Ralph Wilson Stadium - Bills have all the elements to be a playoff contender, except for some weaknesses in the secondary. Detroit has a passing game and nothing more, but should put up plenty of points here. The game means nothing to Buffalo. They're thinking playoffs.

Prediction: Lions 34 Bills 24

Tennessee (-5 1/2, 36) at Green Bay 7:00 PM Lambeau Field - Only game on the board that doesn't have the home team as a favorite, so naturally, I'll go against the oddsmakers and pick the Packers. The line just doesn't make any sense and 5 1/2 points at home is a bunch, preseason or otherwise.

Prediction: Packers 24 Titans 21

Cincinnati at Indianapolis (-3 1/2, 35) 7:00 PM - Take the points. Indy is still without Peyton Manning and the Bengals have so much to prove this season, they better start by making a statement right here. Look for a disciplined defensive effort from Cincy and a big upset.

Prediction: Bengals 20 Colts 13

--- Story continues below ---

New England at NY Giants (-2, 36) 7:00 PM Giants Stadium - If this were a soccer match, they'd call it a "friendly," but this is going to be anything but. There's quite a bit of rivalry going on here and the second and third stringers - who will see much of the action, will likely take some shots. A little bit of revenge for the Brady Bunch.

Prediction: Patriots 17 Giants 13

Jacksonville at Washington (-3, 34) 7:00 PM NBC FedEx Field - After being humiliated by Carolina last week, 47-3, the Redskins will be looking to straighten up a little. Jacksonville is probably going to be happy whatever the outcome of this game, as long as all their starters are healthy. Look for plenty of early substitutions in a game that matters little to anyone.

Prediction: Redskins 30 Jaguars 21

St. Louis at Kansas City (-4, 34 1/2) 7:00 PM Arrowhead Stadium - The Rams finally showed some offense last week, whipping up on the Ravens, 24-10. Conversely, the Chiefs have shown little to nothing, especially after being shut out by Miami, 24-0 in preseason week #3. The Chiefs have all the makings of the worst team in the league and should be underdogs here. An easy one for the Rams.

Prediction: Rams 31 Chiefs 10
