Aaron Schatz and Mike Tanier are back to break down the biggest matchups of NFL Week 4, starting with the latest league news as Dallas acquires Joey Porter Jr. for a 2028 second-round pick. Then it's a full slate of matchup analysis using FTN DVOA, playoff probabilities, personnel tendencies, blocking metrics, injury reports and betting lines. The show opens with Rams-Eagles, where Matthew Stafford and the Rams' passing game face a Philadelphia defense that has struggled against the pass, while Puka Nacua is expected to return. Next, Patriots-Bills brings one of the week's biggest Super Bowl-odds swings. Buffalo enters 3-0 with the No. 2 offense in DVOA, while New England's defense has been much stronger against the pass than the run. In Jaguars-Bengals, Jacksonville enters No. 2 overall in DVOA, but Joe Burrow's success attacking the middle of the field could test one of the Jaguars' biggest defensive weaknesses. The guys also preview Broncos-49ers, including why blitzing Brock Purdy could be a dangerous idea, before turning to the undefeated Chiefs-Raiders AFC West showdown. Finally, Lions-Panthers closes the show, with Carolina dealing with major secondary and offensive injuries while Detroit brings one of the NFL's better pass-protection units into Charlotte. Games covered: Rams at Eagles, Patriots at Bills, Jaguars at Bengals, Broncos at 49ers, Chiefs at Raiders and Lions at Panthers. Plus: Week 4 injury updates, DVOA matchup splits, red-zone efficiency, pass and run blocking trends, playoff implications and the betting lines that shape the weekend.
