Here are five teams that should consider themselves on upset alert for NFL Week 4 of the 2018 season.

The final weekend of September is finally here, and when looking at all of the upsets that have already taken place over the first three weeks, chances are football fans are going to see a few more in NFL Week 4 of the 2018 season.

Last weekend, the Minnesota Vikings were arguably the biggest victims of being on the wrong end of an upset after their shocking loss at home to the Buffalo Bills, and things aren’t going to get any easier this week with a tough battle against the undefeated Los Angeles Rams.

As for the Bills, nobody ever expected this team to win the way they did against the Vikings since the team looked absolutely horrendous over the first two weeks, and seemed like they would only win a few games at best. And if there’s any sort of chance that Buffalo could knock off the Green Bay Packers as well on Sunday, maybe there would be some hope for Sean McDermott’s team after all.

Last year, the Bills were one of the biggest surprise contenders in the AFC, mainly because of the stellar play on the defensive side of the football. But if Buffalo is in fact ready to turn things around, and is going to have a legitimate shot at competing in 2018, the offense is going to need to step up their game, kind of like they did when upsetting Minnesota.
