While Andrew Luck has exceeded expectations, Indianapolis is still a step behind. After defeating the Vikings in Week 3, Buffalo returned to their mediocrity, getting shut out 22-0 by the Packers in Week 4. Tennessee is on a three game win streak after defeating the Eagles in overtime. Those who doubted Miami’s hot start were validated by their definitive loss to New England. Meanwhile, Cincinnati has put up over 30 points in three of their four games.‘Lone wolf’ picksZach predicts the Redskins will beat the Saints on Monday Night Football (NO -6.5)Dustin thinks the Raiders will get their second win of the season against the Chargers (LAC -5.0)Logan believes the Seahawks will spoil the Rams undefeated campaign (LAR -7.0)With Washington fresh off their bye week and a big time win over Green Bay in Week 3, they have a chance to hand the Saints their second loss of the season. The Chargers will look to improve to 2-1 in the battle for California against an Oakland team that barely slipped past the Browns for their first victory in 2018. The Seahawks needed a late field goal to beat an Arizona team that is on the fast track to securing the number on overall pick in the 2019 draft. It is hard to envision their offensive line affording Russell Wilson the protection he will need to win a shoot out against Jared Goff and company. New and improved Browns?On paper, Cleveland is 1-2-1 http://www.baltimoreravensteamauthentic.com/james-hurst-jersey , but psychologically the Browns are miles away from their 2017 squad. Cleveland has forced overtime in two of their four games and trailed by just three points in both of their losses. Cleveland’s progress is reflected in the point spread for Sunday’s game.In Week 2 of 2017, the Ravens were 7.5 point favorites, defeating the Browns 24-10 at home. In Week 15, Baltimore was favored by 6.5 points on the road, this time winning 27-10.
