Week 4 Predictions

Wow. Who would have thought the Bills (yes, the Bills) would be the only remaining team in the AFC East to be undefeated. A surprising turn of events has also left the Eagles, the 2011 Dream Team, 1-2. Many things will not be explained until the end of the season, but so far, it has been a great year of football (I apoligize I haven't done a post in a while). In Week 4, there will be many great matchups, stand out performances, and players to keep an eye on; that is why the NFL Report has you covered!

Game to Watch: Jets at Ravens: Talk about complete domination. Last weekend, RB Darren McFadden and the Raiders literally ran over the Jets defense. Not only did they allow the Raiders to average 7.3 yards per carry, but they also had a 17-7 lead at one point! Now, they will be facing the Ravens, who are better than the Raiders at just about everything; defense, passing, and possibly running. The Ravens are coming off of a 37-7 victory over the Rams, a simple win for such a skilled team. Having the game in Baltimore will also give the Ravens team a boost. All-star runninng back Ray Rice (averaging 5.6 yards per carry) will be too much for the Jets defense, but there is always the chance the Jets come out on top.
Ravens over Jets 27-17


Stand-Out Performance: RB Adrian Peterson: Peterson has had a spectacular 2011 season so far, which is no surprise to football fans. Luckily, Peterson has not faced a challenging defense yet, and will definitely not have a problem with the KC defense this weekend (have allowed the most rushing TD's and the 5th most rushing yards out of any team in the NFL). Peterson has put up spectacular statistics in three games, with 3 rushing touchdowns and 296 yards. AP is going to have a great game, and will help the Vikings to their first win of the season.
Adrian Peterson: 140 yards, 2 Rushing TD's


Player to Watch: Chris Johnson: CJ2K has been very disappointing, especially for Fantasy owners everywhere (ahem). I know it is only week 3, but a lot is expected from someone with a 2,000 yard season. This weekend, he will be playing the Cleveland Browns, a team who has allowed the 4th most rushing yards per game (128.7 yards) among the NFL. Surprisingly,  Johnson has not even rushed for over 75 yards in any of his 3 games. Keep an eye out for CJ in Week 4, he may be the difference maker for your fantasy team.
Chris Johnson: 80 rushing yards, 1 TD
