Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Spread picks for every NFL game in Week 4

I’ve got five picks against the spread I’m feeling strongest about in Week 4, and then a pick for the remaining 10 games.

We’re back for Week 4 of the 2018 NFL season, and we had a wild one to open things. The Los Angeles Rams won a 38-31 shootout over the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday Night Football to get the week started. Jared Goff is clearly legit, and this Rams team is absolutely rolling.

The return of football means fantasy football and gambling are back in our lives. There is nothing quite like a little football gambling to make games that much more exciting. This season, I am taking part in the Westgate SuperContest. SB Nation’s partners over at Odds Shark are sponsoring my entry again. The contest requires selecting five games each week and picking them against the spread.

I’ll be offering up all five SuperContest entries each week, along with picks against the spread for every game each week. Week 2 was an abject disaster. I managed 11-5 for my total picks, and had a 4-1 performance in the SuperContest. I not stand 8-6-1 for the year. Here are my SuperContest entries for Week 4.

COWBOYS (-3) over Lions

Detroit comes into this game having upset New England. It was a much-needed win, but the Patriots appear to be not nearly as good as projected entering the season. There is an overreaction of bettors to Detroit. Dak Prescott and com

PACKERS (-9.5) over Bills

The lookahead line on this game was Packers -14.5. Since, the Packers lost to Washington and the Bills upset Minnesota. There is a lot of love for the Bills, but a 5.5 point swing? Aaron Rodgers’ health remains a concern, but I like these two stats: Rodgers-led Packers teams are 23-11 ATS (67.6 percent) coming off a loss and 9-5 ATS when favored by more than a touchdown in this spot.

Eagles (-4) over TITANS

The defending champs are struggling with consistency, but each week Carson Wentz is back could show some improvement in their offense. Add in the likely return of Alshon Jeffery and facing a middle of the pack Titans defense, and I think we see a little more from the Philly offense in Week 4. Marcus Mariota is not at 100 percent, and while this could be an ugly game, we’ll see the Eagles cover the number.

49ers (+10) over CHARGERS

The 49ers have lost Jimmy Garoppolo for the season, which swung the line from -4.5 to as high as 11.5. I would have preferred 10.5 over 10, but the Chargers defense is bad enough that San Francisco should be able to hang close. C.J. Beathard is a downgrade, but in year two with Kyle Shanahan, not nearly as big a downgrade against bad defenses.

Ravens (+3) over STEELERS

The Steelers got their first win against a seemingly good Bucs team, but that is leading to some overrating of Pittsburgh heading into Week 4. Baltimore is playing solid ball, with their only loss coming in a short week against a potentially decent Bengals team. Look for Baltimore to win this one outright.

Here are all my picks for Week 4:

RAMS vs. Vikings (+7): Vikings — PUSH
PATRIOTS vs. Dolphins (+6.5): Patriots
COLTS vs. Texans (+1): Texans
FALCONS vs. Bengals (+5): Bengals
PACKERS vs. Bills (+9.5): Packers
COWBOYS vs. Lions (+3): Cowboys
JAGUARS vs. Jets (+7.5): Jaguars
BEARS vs. Buccaneers (+3): Bears
TITANS vs. Eagles (-4): Eagles
CARDINALS vs. Seahawks (-3): Cardinals
RAIDERS vs. Browns (+2.5): Raiders
CHARGERS vs. 49ers (+10): 49ers
GIANTS vs. Saints (-3.5): Saints
STEELERS vs. Ravens (+3): Ravens
BRONCOS vs. Chiefs (-5): Broncos

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Jon Gruden: I Get A Ton Of Calls From Players Who Are "Dying To Come And Play Here"

Imagen
The Thursday night game is Raiders-49ers, which, I’d rather die. But pregame, we get a sitdown interview with Jon Gruden (who you thought couldn’t nuke his roster any further after the trade deadline passed, but that didn’t take into account his chasing players into retirement ), conducted by his “good friend” Howie… Read more...

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Ranking Jon Gruden’s best quotes in his Raiders return, from Khalil Mack to Tom Cruise

Imagen
Jon Gruden’s return to coaching hasn’t been smooth, but he’s given us a few quotes to enjoy — especially about Khalil Mack. When the Oakland Raiders hired Jon Gruden in January, they weren’t just getting a coach — they were getting a character and the show that comes with it. After nine years as an ESPN personality, Gruden’s return to coaching has brought with it hilarious quotes on a weekly basis. And that’d be a lot more fun for Oakland if it was paired with some wins, but so far the Gruden era has mostly been losses and a skunked up locker room . Judging by his record-breaking contract , the Raiders are probably going to have Gruden around for a while, and that means we’ll have some fun press conferences along the way. So far, these are the best quotes from Gruden since his 2018 return to Oakland and it’s a list we’ll keep updating as he keeps talking: 8. Let’s throw the game back to 1998 The quote: From a meeting with reporters at the 2018 NFL Combine: “I’m trying to thro...

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Rams-Raiders betting lines and point spread updates for MNF

Imagen
The Rams paid their franchise player, while the Raiders traded theirs. That and the return of Jon Gruden highlight this Week 1 MNF matchup. The NFL opens the 2018 regular season with its annual Monday Night Football doubleheader, and the late game will feature a high profile return. The Oakland Raiders host the Los Angeles Rams in Jon Gruden’s first game as a head coach since 2008. It marks his first game coaching the Raiders since a 2002 playoff appearance. The Westgate SuperBook had one of the first lines for this game and opened the Rams as 1.5 point favorites. You could get this as low as a pick ‘em in April , but the line has changed with bettors hitting the Rams heavily. Sportsbooks are sitting at either four points or 4.5 points, according to Odds Shark . The point total is set at 49.5. This game features resolution for a pair for a pair of players given the franchise tag. The Rams agreed to terms making Aaron Donald the highest paid defensive player in the league . Shor...
