The world&#8217;s largest sports book publishes these prior to any of the previous week&#8217;s games. Also known as Look-Ahead or Early lines, they give sports fans a chance to toll the dice on games 9-12 days away. Let&#8217;s take a look at what the professional handicappers are thinking about NFL Week 4.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\" title=\"New England Patriots at PatsFans.com\"><strong>New England Patriots<\/strong><\/a> are listed as 3-point favorites over Carolina. Typically odds makers add three points for home field advantage. Taking that into consideration, that means the handicappers look at the Panthers and Pats as equals on a neutral field. Despite Carolina&#8217;s impressive defense I find that to be a slight surprise. <\/p>\n<p>Home field typically represents a three point drop for the visitors. <\/p>\n<p>Aside from Carolina at New England, there are a few other good games on tap. The Broncos are 1\u00bd point home favorites against the Raiders in what will be the 106th meeting between the original AFL rivals. Pittsburgh at Baltimore is a pick&#8217;em in the biannual bloodbath of these AFC North combatants. Week 4 also has a scheduling oddity. Thanks to the ineptitude of the Colts, the Monday night game (Washington at Kansas City) should be better viewing than the Sunday night contest (Indianapolis at Seattle).<\/p>\n<p>As a result of another game being played in London, week four has a second consecutive early morning game. I would guess that these back-to-back games is another test by the league offices to ascertain the interest and viability of an NFL team there. There will be four NFL games in London this year. The Cardinals play the Rams week 7 with a 1:00 pm ET kickoff, and the following week the Vikings play the Browns. Those two games will be played at Twickenham Stadium, while the week three and four games take place at Wembley Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>NFL Week 4 Early Odds<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Thursday Sept 28 at 8:30 pm ET on CBS<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nChicago Bears at Green Bay Packers (-11)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Sunday Oct 1 at 9:30 am ET on Fox, in London<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nNew Orleans Saints &#8216;at&#8217; Miami Dolphins (-1)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Sunday Oct 1 at 1:00 pm ET on CBS<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nTennessee Titans (-2\u00bd) at Houston Texans<br \/>\nJacksonville Jaguars (-4\u00bd) at New York Jets<br \/>\nCincinnati Bengals (-1\u00bd) at Cleveland Browns<br \/>\nPittsburgh Steelers (PK) at Baltimore Ravens<br \/>\nBuffalo Bills at Atlanta Falcons (-9)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Sunday Oct 1 at 1:00 pm ET on Fox<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nCarolina Panthers at New England Patriots (-3)<br \/>\nLos Angeles Rams at Dallas Cowboys (-8\u00bd)<br \/>\nDetroit Lions at Minnesota Vikings (N\/A, due to Sam Bradford injury status)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Sunday Oct 1 at 4:00 pm ET on Fox<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nNew York Giants at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-6)<br \/>\nPhiladelphia Eagles (-1) at Los Angeles Chargers<br \/>\nSan Francisco 49ers at Arizona Cardinals (-6\u00bd)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Sunday Oct 1 at 4:30 pm ET on CBS<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nOakland Raiders at Denver Broncos (-1\u00bd)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Sunday Oct 1 at 8:30 pm ET on NBC<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nIndianapolis Colts at Seattle Seahawks (-14\u00bd)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Monday Oct 2 at 8:30 pm ET on espn<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nWashington Redskins at Kansas City Chiefs (-8\u00bd)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Best Bets:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nBucs (-6) vs Giants<br \/>\nPatriots (-3) vs Panthers<br \/>\nSteelers (pk) at Ravens<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Updated Super Bowl 52 Odds<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Westgate has also updated their odds for all 32 NFL teams to win Super Bowl 52.
