Week 4 NFL Injuries 2009

NFL Vegas odds for week 4, 2009 are out as are most of the NFL power ratings for week 4. On Monday Night football, the Dallas Cowboys win and cover against the Carolina Panthers in a contest that goes way under the total to close out week 3 NFL betting.

Perhaps the most interesting game of the week and one of the top this year is the Baltimore Ravens at the New England Patriots New England is laying just -2 at home.

Some notes from Week 3 and how they will affect Week 4 NFL picks.

Cleveland Browns

Browns head coach Eric Mangini said he will decide by Wednesday which of his struggling QBs gets the call this weekend. Starter Brady Quinn was pulled at halftime and former starter Derek Anderson was just as incompetent in their 34-3 trouncing at Baltimore.

Cleveland’s only offensive touchdown was a meaningless one in the final minute of a blowout loss to the Vikings against the proverbial prevent defense.

Oakland Raiders

Raiders head coach Tom Cable was given the expected bad news from dictator Al Davis—JaMarcus Russell, one of the worst starting QBs in NFL betting history.

The Raiders though got some decent news. WR Chaz Schilens was projected as their No. 1 receiver but he’s been out since training camp. He did practice Monday and is expected to make his debut this week. 

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Statuesque QB Byron Leftwich has been demoted to the No. 3 spot. Second-year pro Josh Johnson takes over the Buccaneers starting signal caller.

Indianapolis Colts

Colts Pro Bowl DE Dwight Freeney will miss 2-3 weeks. Freeney has four sacks in three games and his loss is devastating says Bill Gould of Lines-Maker.com.

Green Bay Packers

The Cheeseheads beleaguered offensive line got much needed good news. LT Chad Clifton is probable for their highly anticipated Monday Night Football battle with Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings.

St. Louis Rams

Speaking of a beleaguered offensive line, battering Rams QB Marc Bulger is doubtful with an injured shoulder. Journeyman Kyle Boller will likely start in his place.
