Welcome to Week 4 and the semifinals of the Collapse 4 Caleb Williams Sweepstakes, featuring the 0-3 Broncos at the 0-3 Bears and the 0-3 Vikings at the 0-3 Panthers.
Since Chicago owns Carolina's first-round pick, a Bears-Panthers combo meal loss would leave Chicago holding the top two picks heading to Week 5.
WHAT ABOUT THE VIKINGS?
Vikings (-4½) at Panthers: Why do I feel this will be wrong? Oh, right. The Vikings have more giveaways than Oprah. Vikings 31, Panthers 24
AROUND THE NFC NORTH
Lions (-2 ½) at Packers: Still laughing at the Lions' draft class and/or celebrating Aaron Rodgers leaving Green Bay? Lions 23, Packers 21
(Note: the Lions covered, winning 34-20 on Thursday night)
LOCK OF THE WEEK
Cardinals (+13½) at 49ers: Arizona will not land another survivor pool sucker punch after just beating Dallas! (Author not responsible for lost wages). 49ers 37, Cardinals 21
UPSET SPECIAL
Broncos (-3 ½) at Bears: One nut, two blind squirrels? Go with the home rodent that didn't give up 70 last week. Bears 10, Broncos 9
GAME OF THE WEEK
Dolphins (+2 ½) at Bills: Miami's No. 1 scoring offense (43.3) vs. Buffalo's No. 2 defense (11.7 points allowed). Wonder which team the NFL's rooting for. Bills 24, Dolphins 21
