A handful of teams in the NFL are guaranteed to win in Week 4. Let's dive into those squads right here. There really is no such thing as a guaranteed win in the NFL, but these four games are going to produce the results we all see coming.
Today's NFL is flat-out loaded with parity, and that's putting it lightly. The AFC has been the worse conference thus far, and it really feels wide open at this point. And in the NFC, even the best teams have their own flaws.
As we make our way to the quarter-mark of the season, things will begin to fall into place more. We also do have a solid gauge on the best and worst teams in the NFL, so let's talk about these four clubs guaranteed to win in Week 4.
These teams are flat-out guaranteed to win in Week 4
Buffalo Bills (vs. New Orleans Saints)
The Buffalo Bills honestly have a cake-walk schedule in 2024, and their upcoming opponent is the perhaps league-worst New Orleans Saints. The Bills beat the Miami Dolphins on Thursday Night Football and also get this game on some extended rest.
Buffalo is clearly the best team in the AFC through three weeks, and this is one of those games that they'll simply take care of business in. The Saints won't have much of an answer for anything Buffalo does.
Detroit Lions (vs. Cleveland Browns)
The Cleveland Browns beat the Green Bay Packers in Week 3, and the Lions went into Baltimore and beat the Ravens, so both teams are coming into this game off of a nice win, but we are beginning to see the Lions hit their stride, and with this game being at home, it would take something major for Detroit to not win this game.
The Browns do have a stingy defense, so the Lions might not run up and down the field, but it's going to be a double-digit win for Detroit here in Week 4.
Los Angeles Chargers (@ New York Giants)
This game got a lot more interesting after the Giants announced Jaxson Dart would be starting for the rest of the season. Veteran QB Russell Wilson gets benched after an 0-3 start, so the Dart era begins on Sunday. However, he is set to face the stingy LA Chargers' defense, a unit that has beaten Patrick Mahomes, Geno Smith, and Bo Nix in the first three weeks.
Unless this turns into the upset of the year, the Chargers are going to win this game. The Giants' defensive line can create some havoc, but the Chargers' defense is simply too good, and New York's offensive line and pretty much everything else outside of Malik Nabers isn't any good.
The Giants have been trending in the wrong direction for years now, and this is going to be yet another ugly, forgettable loss for the franchise.
Denver Broncos (vs. Cincinnati Bengals)
The Denver Broncos have lost in heartbreaking fashion in Weeks 2 and 3 against the Colts and Chargers. Denver has held a late lead in each game but have also lost on a last-second field goal. If nothing else, the Broncos did lose to two of the best teams in the NFL on the road, as the Colts and Chargers are a combined 6-0.
The Broncos return home for the first time in Week 1 and have the most obvious 'get right' game in front of them with the lowly Bengals, a team that lost by 38 points to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2. Without Joe Burrow, the Bengals might struggle to win another game. Their roster is flawed, and to the surprise of no one, the trenches are again a weak spot.
Denver's pass rush is going to feast against Jake Browning, and Bo Nix typically play his best at home, so the Broncos should get back in the win column with a double-digit victory here in Week 4.
