Minnesota Vikings to beat Cleveland Browns –

This season’s fourth London game, like the three before it, will not be close.

The Browns remain winless in 2017, after being beaten in overtime by the Tennessee Titans last week.

Cleveland rank last in points scored this season and 24th in points allowed, while their last win away from home was in August 2015.

Only four teams have conceded fewer points per game than the Vikings this season, and they could feasibly shut the Browns down entirely on Sunday on the way to a comfortable win.

Buffalo Bills to beat Oakland Raiders –

Oakland’s offense hasn’t been anywhere near as explosive as it was last season, and they could again struggle to score against the Bills this weekend.

Buffalo have allowed the fourth-fewest points per game this year, holding all but one of their opponents to under 18 points.

The Bills have been impressive at home, where they’ve won all three of their games and averaged over 25 points.

If quarterback Tyrod Taylor can continue to put up those numbers against the Raiders’ average defence, it’s hard to see them being outscored.

Washington Redskins to beat Dallas Cowboys –

The Redskins are probably a better team than their 3-3 record suggests.

They are one of just two teams to have beaten the Los Angeles Rams this season, and the only teams they’ve lost to – the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs – have a combined record of 11 wins and three defeats.

Washington should beat the Cowboys, who have lost every time they’ve played a decent team this season.

The key to stopping Dallas’ impressive offense is shutting down the running game, and the Redskins’ defence – which has allowed the seventh-fewest rushing yards this season – is capable of doing just that.

Pittsburgh Steelers to beat Detroit Lions –

The Steelers have held each of their last two opponents to under 15 points, and their excellent defence should again prove crucial when they travel to Detroit this weekend.

Pittsburgh have allowed the third-fewest points per game this season, and now face a Lions offense that could be without top receiver Golden Tate.

The Lions have only won once at home this season – against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 1 – and conceded 52 points against the New Orleans Saints in their last game.

Expect them to struggle again defensively against the Steelers’ dynamic duo of receiver Antonio Brown and running back LeVeon Bell.
