NFL Week 4 by the Rainmaker

NFL Week 4 Kicks Off in London!

The NFL kicked off early this morning with the +Jacksonville Jaguars and the +Indianapolis Colts facing off across the pond in a London.  This blog is being written during the game so who would have thought that the Jags would be beating the Colts by 17 in the 4th quarter.  Maybe the Colts will make a comeback and maybe they won't but it does leave you with the million dollar question.  Are the Jaguars legit this season or is Andrew Luck just inconsistent in big games?  Being the highest paid quarterback in the NFL comes with an understanding that you need to win big games regardless of what is going on.  Let's take Tom Brady for example when he took the Patriots to the playoffs time and time again with over half of the starters who started the season on injured reserve.  That's how you get it done and I'm not sure if Andrew Luck is playing on that level yet but the future begins now.

 Speaking of the +New England Patriots, it's pretty remarkable that they have not lost a home game since December 16th 2012.  The Rainmakers bold prediction today is that Rex Ryan and his +Buffalo Bills will come into New England and take the win!  You would think that this wouldn't be that big of a deal since the Patriots are on their 3rd string quarterback but as long as Bill Belichick is on your sidelines, you have a chance to win. I've got the Bills winning convincingly and being the talk of the town in Week 4.

Now for the game that had promised to be the retaliation and redemption for RGIII and his doubters will not happen.  Today the +Washington Redskins and the +Cleveland Browns match-up as Robert Griffin III had the opportunity to prove that the Redskins were incorrect in their assessment of his skills and value on the field.  In the underlying tones of the game, the Skins actually do get the first laugh as RGII is on the sidelines with an injury and won't be playing in today's contest.  This must leave the Browns with a bad taste in their mouth and I'm sure that getting a win against Washington today is very important.  I look for this to be a close contest due to Kirk Cousins consistent inconsistency and think it will come down to the final drives of the 4th quarter.

Being the Rainmaker has it's pressures and being so wrong the past few weeks is taking a toll on my confidence for sure.  I am however proud to announce that my record was 16-11-2 last week which makes me a big winner and has motivated me to write this last minute blog again here for week 4.   You can find this up to date blog by clicking this link here (CLICK ME)  Make sure you give Make It Rain Marketing a call if you have a product that you're trying to promote and just need some help from a professional at 903-420-0736.

NFL Regular Season week 2 with additional Vegas lines and bets.

NFL Regular Season Week 2 Story

The first highlight of Week two is the match-up between the Washington Redskins and the Dallas Cowboys.  Typically these two teams play towards the end of the season with hopes of a division rivalry game that also has playoff implications.  The past few years however, the NFC East tallied up wins only when they played themselves but couldn't get an out of division "W" before week 6.  This display of mediocrity offers a NFL Wildcard Playoff birth to a 7-9 or 8-8 team while 9-7 teams aren't able to make the playoffs.  Needless to say, regardless of what the Cowboys or the Redskins look like on paper, anything can happen when these two take the field.

Josh Norman did a great job last week hiding from Antonio Brown by staying on one side of the field allowing the Steelers too easily avoid the match-up.  There can only be few NFL mega-million superstar contracts awarded to key players on a team due to the salary cap so Norman better be covering Dez Bryant this Sunday.  Another player to watch will be RB Alfred Morris as he will attempt to hit another "home run" in Landover, MD but this time for the opposing team.  I think Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliot will be the winning combination over a struggling Kirk Cousins and a 80% healthy Matt Jones.  The Redskins management has to be celebrating the decision to put the Franchise Tag on Cousins instead of signing him to a long term deal right now as he is living up the slogan, "one hit wonder."

Was anybody shocked at the news of RGIII fracturing his coracoid bone in week 1?  That had to be one of the most predictable injuries next to Tony Romo's back leaving both fragile Quarterbacks as the highest paid NFL cheerleaders for the next 8 weeks.  At least Cleveland Brown fans have a little bit of hope that he's escaping his nickname RGKnee however he's finding other reckless ways to let his team down.  The Browns are now starting their 26th Quarterback since 1995.  Maybe the bubble wrap isn't such a bad idea after all or it's time to hang the cleats up for both of these former competitors.

After watching all four episodes of HBO's Hard Knocks, I began to feel a gravitational pull towards the LA Rams.  Coach Jeff Fisher had be believing that he wasn't putting up with 7-9 bullshit this year and now I'm thinking that the Rams may be lucky to see 4-12.  How do you get completely shut down on your Monday Night debut against the 49ers with the world watching?  Another interesting story is the number one pick in the NFL draft, Jared Goff doesn't even have a Rams uniform on during the first game of the season.  I understand he's only 21 years of age and has a lot of learning to do but if the Rams get blown out again this week in LA, nobody is going to the games anyways.

Last week was one of the most unbelievable streaks of bad luck and was almost impossible to foresee.   Out of the 15 games that I placed my predictions on, 6 out of 11 bets actually were correct.  This would be equivalent to a broken kneecap or collarbone for such a laps in judgement.  Literally after the first games on Sunday were played, I thought maybe I wouldn't have picked a single game correct.  Luckily a few games paid off and came through so it wasn't a complete blood bath but there's always week 2 for a comeback.  See below for my Rainmaker's NFL Week 2 picks and I hope that you're able to take advantage of them.
