The battle for the AL Central crown heats up on Tuesday, and those that don’t care about baseball will be reviewing Week 4 NFL lines. Here’s your Daily Sports Roundup.

The Gridiron Spotlight

The Cowboys are now the favorites to win the Super Bowl at many sportsbooks, thanks to their strong start to the season and the middling-to-poor results so far for the Patriots, Colts, and Chargers. Dallas will look to stay unbeaten this weekend when they host the Redskins; the line on that game opened with the Cowboys favored by 10.5 points.

There are just five other unbeaten teams around the league heading into Week 4: Buffalo, Baltimore, Tennessee, Denver, and the Giants. The Bills opened as 9.5-point road favorites against the Rams, while the Titans were set as 3-point home favorites versus the Vikings, and the Broncos as 9.5-point road favorites against the Chiefs. The Giants have a bye in Week 4, and the Ravens will play in Pittsburgh on Monday night.

OffshoreInsiders.com is officially calling for boycotting Idaho Vandals football games now that they are insisting that their cheerleaders wear less revealing uniforms. 

GodsTips reports that the NFL power rankings week 4 are in and there appear to be some potential outlaw line plays in both the NFL and college football betting this weekend.
