N.F.L. Picks: Packers Over Cowboys, and Patriots Over Buccaneers
By BENJAMIN HOFFMANOCT. 5, 2017

It has been a wildly unpredictable start to the N.F.L. season, with upsets, last-second victories and teams looking unbeatable one week only to fall apart the next. The constant has been the brilliance of Kansas City on both sides of the ball. The Chiefs will look to extend their record to 5-0, while teams like the New England Patriots, the Dallas Cowboys and the Carolina Panthers will simply try to establish some consistency. Here are our picks against the spread:

Record against the spread in Week 4: 7-9

Record against the spread over all: 30-33


Chargers at Giants, 1 p.m., CBS

Line: Giants by 3.5

No team wants to be winless after four weeks, and playoff hopes for the Chargers (0-4) and the Giants (0-4) are likely all but abandoned. A closer look, though, reveals Los Angeles has lost by 3 or fewer points in three of four games and the Giants have done the same thing twice. With a little more luck — especially in the kicking game for the Chargers — either team could be 2-2 or 3-1. That being said, both teams have been dreadful on offense, and this game could be ugly. Pick: Giants.
