It was another 1-2 week for Coach Rick. It’s time to turn this thing around. Week 4 of the 2020 NFL season presents some pretty interesting moneyline underdogs, including the New England Patriots at home.
Coach Rick has searched the NFL week 4 schedule and here are the top three moneyline underdogs as the NFL hits the first quarter mark.

Denver Broncos vs. New York Jets Week 4 Picks
Week 4 gets started with another Thursday night pillow fight. The winless Broncos (0-3) take on the winless Jets (0-3). One good thing is that neither team will start the season 0-4, which both the Jets and Broncos did last year.
The Jets are dead last in the NFL in scoring (12.3 points per game) and QB Sam Darnold threw more touchdown passes to his opponent than his own team last week. Darnold threw two pick-sixes but just one Jets touchdown.
The Broncos lost QB Drew Lock to a shoulder injury. Jeff Driskel is subbing in his place. Last week, Driskel managed just 176 passing yards and was sacked five times. In the past two weeks, Denver’s offensive line has surrendered 13 sacks. Not good.
Somehow, the Jets have managed to win four of their last five at home. With the short week at home, that may allow them to get some of their injured – WR Jamison Crowder, WR Breshad Perriman, and RB Le’Veon Bell – back in time for Thursday night.
Either way, Coach Rick likes the home dog.
Best Moneyline Pick: New York Jets +130

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Cincinnati Bengals Week 4 Picks
The Jags got beat at home last week by a previously winless Miami Dolphins. Jacksonville will face its second straight winless opponent. The Bengals are 2-17-1 in their last 20 games.
The only positive for Cincy is the play of rookie quarterback Joe Burrow. Through three games, Burrow has thrown just one interception.
Since the Bengals are at home in Week 4, they are a 3.0-point favorite. Under head coach Zac Taylor, Cincinnati has been a favorite just three times. They have lost all three games.
To make the decision a little easier, Jacksonville is 11-5 straight up in its last 16 games against Cincinnati. The Bengals will have trouble stopping the “’Stache,” aka Jacksonville QB Gardner Minshew.
Best Moneyline Pick: Jacksonville Jaguars +128

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Tennessee Titans Week 4 Picks
Here’s where I’m tempted to take Miami with the huge upset. The problem is their pass defense is horrendous and Seattle’s Russell Wilson is on fire. Plus, as a starter Wilson is 71-53-7 ATS. Coach Rick just couldn’t do it.
So, he defers to his team, the Pittsburgh Steelers. At 3-0, the Steelers have a defense worthy of a championship and an offense with just enough to do some damage.
The Tennessee Titans have won all three of their games by a total of six points. In each game, Tennessee has kicked a field in the game’s final two minutes to get the victory.
Pittsburgh at least has a point differential of +22 in its three wins. Plus, the Steelers have a knack for doing well as underdogs under head coach Mike Tomlin.
Pittsburgh is 34-18-2 ATS as an underdog under Tomlin. More importantly, as a dog of fewer than seven points with Tomlin in charge, the Steelers are 28-22.
That’s enough for Coach Rick.
