NFL Week 4 is here, and the RBA crew is back to revisit some of the assumptions we made coming into the season. Three weeks in, which teams are forcing us to rethink what we thought we knew? Are some teams better than expected, while others are quickly heading in the opposite direction? Stefan, Eric, and Mike dig into the Week 4 slate and look at the games through a mix of power ratings, situational angles, and what we've actually learned through the first three weeks. The conversation centers around revisiting priors — including whether certain teams deserve more respect than they were getting before the season and whether some early-season impressions need to be thrown out entirely. From there, the guys go through three rounds of their favorite plays for Week 4, breaking down each other's reasoning and deciding whether to tail or fade the play. They then put forward their Show Picks, with the group's 50% veto rule once again forcing everyone to defend their favorite play of the week. And, of course, no RBA episode is complete without the Frat Boy Parlay to close things out. New episodes of Ready Bet Action drop weekly.

Welcome to RBA presented by RotoViz — where we don’t just make picks, we put them to the test.
The guys dive into the NFL Week 4 slate, breaking down the games, the lines, and the bets they think you need to know about.
Three weeks into the NFL season, it's time to revisit some of the assumptions we made before the season started.
The guys discuss which teams have changed their perception the most after the opening three weeks and whether those changes should actually affect how we bet them moving forward.
The central question: Are you willing to bet against your preseason assumptions when the early-season evidence starts telling you something different?
Among the themes discussed are whether teams that looked questionable coming into the season have actually emerged as legitimate, and whether teams that received significant preseason hype are showing signs that those expectations were misplaced.
Each host puts forward a favorite Week 4 play before the group breaks down the reasoning behind it.
The guys discuss the matchup, the number, and the underlying reasoning before deciding whether the play deserves a tail or fade.
The second round brings another set of Week 4 angles, including a combination of game-side analysis and player-prop discussion.
The hosts continue looking beyond simple team strength and focus on matchup-specific factors, expected game environments, and whether the betting number accurately reflects what they expect to happen.
The final round features more player-prop analysis and another opportunity for the hosts to challenge each other's assumptions.
As always, each play gets the RBA treatment: make the case, break down the reasoning, and decide whether to tail or fade.
The hosts then put forward their favorite plays of the week.
The RBA Show Pick process gives the group the opportunity to veto a play with a 50% vote, forcing the guys to defend their strongest position and helping curate the plays they ultimately want to put behind the show.
The episode closes with the Frat Boy Parlay, combining three selections into one final group bet.
