Week 4 of the 2020 NFL regular season is officially underway, and picks are in for the DraftKings Pro Football Pick ‘Em National Championship. The Broncos beat the Jets to open the week on Thursday Night Football, and the upset cost 101 people an early point. Congrats to the 28 folks who picked the Broncos to cover!
The DK contest runs through Week 16 and requires entrants pick five games per week against the spread. They can skip two weeks during the 16-week schedule as byes, but otherwise, they’re making five picks per week. The lines are set on Wednesday and remains static until the games kick off.
This week, the betting public is heavily backing the Ravens in the DraftKings Pro Football Pick ‘Em National Championship. 51.7 percent of all entries are taking the Ravens to cover as double digit road favorites against Washington. The second most popular pick is the Bills on the road against the Raiders, with 42.7 percent of picks on unbeaten Buffalo.
The Patriots, Steelers, and Titans were among the least popular picks in Week 4, but Covid-19 has thrown all of that for a loop with the Patriots and Chiefs moved to Monday and Titans-Steelers moved to Week 7. The Washington Football Team is the lowest picked among teams playing on Sunday, with 2.0 percent of entries including them.
Good luck to all in Week 4!
