2015 NFL Week 4 Betting Tips
The NFL season continues this weekend as we enter the fourth week of the year. We managed to pick three out of four NFL tips last week and we will be looking to do the same or go one better and get 100%. Continue reading for this weeks 2015 NFL week 4 Preview and Betting Tips.
Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers (Friday 10.25pm AEST)
The Ravens have had a terrible start to the season as they are sitting at 0-3. Experts had them as possibilities to make the Superbowl but only 2% of teams have ever started a season 0-3 and gone on to make the playoffs. It will become near impossible if they are to fall to 0-4 and with the Steelers next up it is a high chance of that happening.
However, the Ravens chances were given an a massive boost with the Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger suffering a sprained MCL and badly bruised knee. Experienced quarterback Michael Vick will step into his place and he is a solid replacement however he is nowhere near the same level of quality as Roethlisberger. It is likely they will rely heavily on the run, which means the Ravens will need to stop that to stand a chance in this match. If the run isn’t stopped it will open up the opportunities for Vick to use play action pass and take a shot down the field.
The Ravens have the defensive personnel to prevent this and should come away with the away victory.
TIP: Ravens -2.5 @ $1.80 with Ladbrokes
Kansas City Chiefs at Cincinnati Bengals (Monday 4am AEST)
The Chiefs have dropped to 1-2 after a solid start to the season and will be up against it as they travel to Cincinnati to take on the Benglas who are 3-0. The Chiefs fell to the Broncos at home and Green Bay last weekend. Two great quarterbacks were able to pick them a part. Andy Dalton isn’t on the same level as Peyton Manning or Aaron Rodgers but the key personnel around him is increasing his quality of play. AJ Green was on fire last weekend and was a massive factor in their win against the Ravens. If the Chiefs defence isn’t able to shut him down you can shut the gate, as the Bengals will run away with it.

Oakland Raiders at Chicago Bears (Monday 4am AEST)
What a pick up Derek Carr has proven to be. The second round pick in last years draft had a solid rookie season but he has developed his game over the offseason and the Raiders are at 2-1, including an impressive victory against the Ravens where Carr marched his team down the field in the dying minutes for the win.
They will need to prove themselves as play off contenders this weekend as they travel to Chicago to take on the 0-3 Bears who are without their starting quarterback Jay Cutler. The Bears weren’t able to score a point last week against the Sea Hawks as they were forced to punt on all of their possessions. The Raiders will do enough to shut them down and move to 3-1.
TIP: Raiders -3 @ $1.93 with Palmerbet
Green Bay Packers at San Francisco 49ers (Monday 7.25am AEST)
The Packers have meant business this season as they are undefeated and it is no question as to who is the main reason for that. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has had a remarkable start throwing 10 touchdowns and 0 interceptions. They are up against the 49ers who have leaked over 40 points in back to back patches and their defence is last in the league at yards per attempt.
This is a clear opportunity for Rodgers and the Packers to march into San Francisco and light it up. I am expecting him to throw at least four touchdown passes and the score will get ugly for Jarryd Hayne and the 49ers.
TIP: Packers -8 @ $1.91 with WilliamHill
