NFL Picks Week 4: Atlanta Falcons and Other Easy Plays This Sunday

The NFL is very hard to predict, but every once and a while there are big Sunday locks you just cannot pass up. 

There are a number of toss up games for Week 4, and for a list of questionable lines to avoid, go here. 

However, there are also easy plays you need to know about. Here are three teams that are sure to cover the spread on Sunday. 

Atlanta Falcons 

Favored at - 4 1/2, the Falcons should have no trouble covering against the Seattle Seahawks. It is a road game for the Falcons, and even though they've struggled away from home this season, the Seahawks are not a good team. 

Atlanta's offense will be too much for the Seahawks, and they'll win by a touchdown with no problem. Matt Ryan, Michael Turner, Roddy White and Julio Jones will all have great games. 

Seattle got their first win last week, but the Falcons will ruin any confidence the Seahawks may have. This pick is too easy not to play. 

New Orleans Saints 

The Saints are favored at -7, and they won't have any problem winning by 10 or more points against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. 

New Orleans is really finding a grove, and they're one play away from being 3-0 right now. Drew Brees has this team motivated, and the Saints cannot be stopped by the lowly Jaguars. 

Expect Brees to air it out a ton, and for Mark Ingram and Pierre Thomas to get a good number of carries. New Orleans will put up a lot of points on Sunday, which makes this a safe bet because rookie Blaine Gabbert and the Jaguars will find it hard to score against an elite team.

Green Bay Packers 

 The defending Super Bowl champs are favored at -12 over the Denver Broncos, who struggled on the road against the Titans last week. 

The Packers are far better than the Titans, and they'll be able to put up a lot of points against a weakened Broncos' defense.

Aaron Rodgers will connect with all of his targets multiple times on Sunday and this won't even be a contest. The Broncos can move the ball, but their offense isn't well rounded enough to compete against the Packers.
