NPC’s Week 4 NFL Picks
By Kim Myers
Think you can pick winners better than the NPC staff?
Here we are at Week 4 already. Here at Nice Pick Cowher, we are not only a bunch of nerds who follow the Pittsburgh Steelers tirelessly, but we are also a bunch of nerds who follow the NFL tirelessly. Therefore we put our money (or maybe just pride) where our mouths are and make picks on every NFL game each week. We don’t mess around with point spreads or anything like that. Just straight up picks.
This week the Steelers and the Vikings will take their losing records across the pond and battle it out in London to see who has to fly home at 0-4. Pretty exciting stuff huh? This is also the first week of bye weeks for the season. The Packers and Panthers are both off this week. The 49ers will take on the Rams to see if they can still hang in their own division. Other divisional games this week include Cincinnati at Cleveland, Chicago at Detroit, and Indianapolis at Jacksonville. The Chiefs will try to keep their undefeated streak alive against the Giants, who are still looking for their first win. Monday Night Football will be a battle of the unbeaten when the Dolphins will take their 3-0 on the road to the undefeated New Orleans Saints.
Congrats goes to Jim and Scott for winning last week’s picks with 9 winners each. I still have a tight grip on the overall lead, although Jim is now right behind me. Our reader participant, Jenn, went 7-9 last week; it was a brutal week for all of us. She’s at 23-25 overall now. Shout out to Jenn for playing along!
Feel free to make picks of your own in the comments section, or take the opportunity to heckle and criticize our opinions if that’s your deal. We’ll see if I stay on top or if someone else takes over the lead after Week 4 action is said and done. Make some picks or root for your favorite NPC staffer! Here we go Steelers!
