Everyone loves a good NFL upset, except the fans of the team that is favored.
We have seen multiple upsets every week of the season so far.
That is not going to change in Week 4.
The three teams on upset alert are all favored on the betting market.
With Week 4 being the first Sunday of October football, here are three teams on upset alert.
Buffalo Bills (at Baltimore Ravens)
The Bills are coming off their first loss of the season in a game where Josh Allen was forced to throw the ball 63 times.
While that is too many pass attempts for one game, throwing the ball should be the game plan against the Ravens.
Baltimore is the worst passing defense in the league to start the year.
That is the one weakness the Bills must exploit.
But, the reason the Ravens can pull off the upset is because of their QB and health.
Lamar Jackson should be the favorite for league MVP through the first three weeks.

He has dominated as a thrower and runner, leading the NFL in touchdowns.
Also, the Bills are not healthy.
Most of their defense has some type of injury with a few of their key players expecting to miss the game.
It is weird to see the Ravens as a home underdog all things considered.
But, they have a great chance to pull off an upset this week.
Indianapolis Colts (vs. Tennessee Titans)
The Colts shocked the NFL by upsetting the Kansas City Chiefs last week.
But, in Week 4 they are the ones in danger of being upset.
Division rival, Tennessee Titans, come to town looking to improve to 2-2 on the season.
The division games are always tough to predict.
Derrick Henry has yet to have his true breakout game this season, for this career he averages 5.2 yards per attempt against Indy.
Expect a healthy dose of Henry in this game with the Titans still struggling to find any success passing the ball.
Ryan Tannehill has not been very good this year and the Titans miss A.J. Brown.
Luckily for the Titans, Matt Ryan has been terrible all year.
He is struggling in his first year with the Colts and the Titans defense could have a get-right game.
Both teams need a win and this game should be highly contested.
Carolina Panthers (vs. Arizona Cardinals)
It does not make much sense how the Panthers are favored in this game.
Maybe it is because of their win last week over the Saints.
But, this Carolina team is not very good.
There is a clear quarterback disadvantage in this game for the Panthers.
Kyler Murray is a lot better player than Baker Mayfield and that reason alone should make the Cardinals the favorite.

His athleticism is elite and puts tons of stress on opposing defenses.
Arizona is 1-2 just like the Panthers, but at least they have shown some explosiveness on offense this year.
Other than Christian McCaffrey, no one is doing anything on Carolina’s offense.
While it seems like Marquise Brown and Murray have great chemistry in their first season together.
Both teams have struggled to start the year but the Cardinals have the better roster and quarterback, giving them a great chance to pull off the upset.
