Week 4 NFL bold predictions: Raiders upset Chiefs, Kyler Murray sets record
Key Points:
- The Cleveland Browns secured a dramatic 27-24 last-second win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, improving to 3-1 and leading the AFC North for the first time with Deshaun Watson as their quarterback. Watson has led three consecutive game-winning drives, a feat only matched by Brian Sipe since 1950.
- The Las Vegas Raiders, undefeated at 3-0, are predicted to upset the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 4, marking the first time both teams are 3-0 or better in their rivalry history. The Raiders boast a top-ranked defense and a strong turnover margin, with veteran QB Kirk Cousins leading the offense.
- Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray is expected to set the franchise's single-game completion percentage record against the struggling Miami Dolphins, whose defense has allowed an 80.3% completion rate and no sacks through three games.
- The New York Jets, led by head coach Aaron Glenn, are predicted to end their 20-game streak without an interception against the Chicago Bears, coached by Ben Johnson, marking the longest such streak in NFL history. The Jets' revamped defense is expected to force turnovers despite its youth.
- Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson is forecasted to break free for a 35-plus-yard rushing touchdown on a zone run against the Buffalo Bills, whose defense has improved against zone runs but remains vulnerable to big plays. Additionally, the Indianapolis Colts defense is expected to intercept Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota twice, ending his interception-free streak in 2026.
