Greg Cote's Week 4 NFL picks

Strange Week 3 for us. That 8-7 mark (plus one tie) straight-up is never gonna bring a smile, but 10-6 against the spread will. Not a wide grin, mind you. Maybe a little Mona Lisa thing. Had some tough luck with four of our winners blowing sizable fourth-quarter leads. Also gagged on Dolphins pick and Monday nighter, two games I especially hate to miss. The good news? Kept our Upset of the Week streak going with a bull's-eye on Packers winning in New Orleans ("Aawwk!"). Also scored a trio of dogs-with-points on covers by the Vikings, Bengals and Panthers. Time to put a bow on the first quarter of the season with a big Week 4! (Note: Thursday night pick was At Jets (even) over Broncos, 19-16.)
