The Week 4 NFL schedule is set to deliver an exciting slate of games before teams begin their bye weeks. Among the most anticipated matchups is Bills vs. Ravens, which takes place on Sunday Night Football. Both teams are considered serious contenders in the AFC and are seen as potential threats to the reigning conference champions, the Kansas City Chiefs.
According to the latest odds from the SportsLine Consensus, the Ravens are favored by 2.5 points, with the total over/under set at 46.5. As fans and bettors prepare for the action, sharp money gamblers in Las Vegas are already placing their bets on this pivotal showdown.
Before you make your NFL Week 4 picks, here's what the experts are saying and how sharp money bettors are approaching the spread.
Who Are the Vegas Sharps Backing in Week 4?
Sharp bettors, known for their ability to spot value in betting lines that casual bettors may overlook, have made their moves on the Week 4 NFL matchups. These professional gamblers are highly respected by sportsbooks in Las Vegas and beyond, and their betting decisions often lead bookmakers to adjust the lines.
Jay Kornegay, the Executive Vice President of the Westgate SuperBook in Las Vegas, shared some insights with SportsLine NFL expert Jimmie Kaylor on where the sharp money is going in Week 4. Kornegay, a veteran oddsmaker with over 25 years of experience, has long been a key figure in the Vegas sports betting scene. His insights are closely followed by both bettors and sportsbooks alike.
Top Sharp Money Picks: Week 4 NFL
One of the key sharp money plays for Week 4 comes from Monday Night Football, where the Detroit Lions (-3.5, 46.5) are expected to cover at home against the Seattle Seahawks.
Detroit has proven to be a tough team to beat at Ford Field, with the home crowd expected to play a significant role in their prime-time performance. The Lions' defense has been outstanding this season, ranking 9th in scoring defense (allowing just 17.7 points per game) and 10th in total defense (allowing 293.3 yards per game).
Meanwhile, the sharps have taken notice of Seattle’s somewhat misleading 3-0 record. While it's never easy to win in the NFL, the Seahawks have faced what some would call one of the softer schedules in the league. In their first three games, Seattle defeated a struggling Denver Broncos team in Week 1, the rebuilding New England Patriots in Week 2, and a depleted Miami Dolphins squad in Week 3. These three opponents have a combined record of 3-6, which raises questions about the true strength of the Seahawks’ unbeaten start.

In addition to the Lions vs. Seahawks game, the sharp money in Las Vegas has already locked in bets on two other NFL matchups. One of these games features a team in desperate need of a win, making it a popular target for professional bettors.
