There is seemingly no end to the bets you can make every week in the NFL, so instead of trying to examine all of Week 4, let’s just focus on the first two games. Thursday’s matchup sees the Miami Dolphins, hot off an upset of the Buffalo Bills, head to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals. Then on Sunday morning, set your alarm and get your bets in early because the Minnesota Vikings play the New Orleans Saints in London at 9:30 a.m. ET.

Since we’ve had to go two whole days without football since Monday Night, here are a few bets worth considering at the very start of Week 4.

Bengals -4 over Dolphins
The teams are playing on a short week, and QB Tua Tagovailoa is battling *checks notes* ankle and back injuries after smacking his head off the turf against the Bills. The signs are pointing to Tua playing, but a) it’s not 100% sure, and b) he might be limited, especially as the game goes on. The Bengals got off to a slow start before playing the Jets last week to feel better about themselves. Both teams have plenty of firepower but I’ll take the home team on a short week against a dinged-up QB.

Ja’Marr Chase Over 71.5 Receiving Yards (-110)
Chase can get 71.5 yards on one catch as easily as anyone in the league, and while the Dolphins are off to a great start, they have given up plenty of yards along the way through the air, with opponents averaging 297.7 per game.

Justin Jefferson Over 84.5 Receiving Yards (-110) and/or Over 6.5 catches
After a monster 184 yards receiving in Week 1, Jefferson is coming off the worst game of his career (13 yards receiving) in Week 3. Expect Kirk Cousins to target him early and often in London versus the Saints, especially with Dalvin Cook likely playing through a shoulder injury. Jefferson might well be the best receiver in the game, they’d be wise to get him the ball.
