As nice as it is to have an extra night of NFL action, sometimes the Thursday Night Football games don’t live up to expectations. For Week 4, we have an interesting matchup of the two most recent No. 1 overall picks, Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals versus Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Although it’s not the most intriguing matchup on paper, there are still plenty of fantasy ramifications at stake in this game as Burrow tries to elevate the Bengals to a surprising 3-1 start and Lawrence tries for his first win.

How should fantasy football and sports betting fans approach what looks to be a potentially exciting primetime matchup?

Thursday Night Football games can be quite polarizing. On one hand, it’s great to have another night of NFL action for football fans to absorb, but on the other hand, the matchups often leave a lot to be desired and the games, on abbreviated rest, tend to be difficult to handicap.

Week 3 is a prime example of the downside of these games as the injury-plagued Texans host a red-hot Carolina squad. The undefeated Panthers’ defense has stepped up and the Texans will be forced to trot out their backup quarterback. Can the Texans improve to 3-0 against the spread as sizable home underdogs?
