Best NFL underdog picks and predictions for Week 4
By Jess Root,

Week 3 was one for the underdogs.
Eight underdogs won their games outright, including the Carolina Panthers beating the Las Vegas Raiders after Las Vegas had knocked off the Baltimore Ravens in Week 2.
Despite so many underdogs winning straight up, last week’s picks went 0-3. The New England Patriots failed to cover the spread against the New York Jets, the LA Chargers lost outright to the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Atlanta Falcons did not cover the spread against the Kansas City Chiefs, bringing our underdog picks record to 4-4-1.
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers is proving to be a problem for opponents with 3 TDs in the last 2 games.
The Dallas Cowboys have beaten the Giants 6 straight times by at least a touchdown, but this team is no good defensively, allowing at least 190 rushing yards in their last 2 games.
The Giants have allowed only 2 TDs in their last 2 games but have allowed 9 scoring drives.
This should be a track meet for both teams with whoever has the ball last winning a close game.
JAGUARS +6.5 (-110) at Texans – 1 p.m. (CBS)
The Jacksonville Jaguars have beaten the Houston Texans outright in their last 2 trips to Houston.
While Jacksonville has looked hapless both offensively (13.3 PPG) and defensively (28.3 PPG allowed), much of the defensive damage was against the Buffalo Bills last week in a 47-10 loss. Their other 2 losses were by 3 and 5 points.
The Texans have allowed 27 or more points in 2 of 3 games and failed to score 20 points themselves in 2 of 3 games.
With both coming off blowout losses, expect a hard-fought, close divisional matchup.

RAMS (+135) at Bears – 1 p.m. (FOX)
The LA Rams upset the San Francisco 49ers 27-24 without WRs Cooper Kupp or Puka Nacua.
The Chicago Bears are simply not good offensively yet. They have scored only 3 offensive touchdowns this season. If it weren’t for defensive and special teams touchdowns in Week 1, the Bears would be averaging 12.7 PPG. They allowed 140 rushing yards to the Tennessee Titans and 150 to the Indianapolis Colts. Rams RB Kyren Williams is very good, scoring twice last week against the Niners.
The Bears have turned the ball over 5 times in the last 2 games. The Rams have 2 turnovers all season.
