Full NFL predictions, picks for entire Week 4 slate

The Post’s Erich Richter makes his picks and predictions for Week 4 of the NFL season.PANTHERS (+4.5) over Bengals: Andy Dalton has breathed new life into a Panthers squad that simply lost faith in Bryce Young.Dalton was among the best quarterbacks in the NFL last week and faces a pathetic defense in the Bengals, Dalton’s former team.
