Lock: Cincinnati (-4 1/2) over Atlanta

The Bengals won the game that they had to win on Sunday, beating Carolina to save their season. The Falcons were lucky to escape against the Steelers, and Mike Vick can’t possibly have two consecutive games where he completes that many passes. The Bengals will keep Alge Crumpler quiet, and should beat the Falcons easily.

Upset Special: Jets (+1 1/2) over Cleveland

Are you kidding? Are the Jets really underdogs to the Browns? Either way, the Jets may not be blowing out their opponents, but they have been good lately, and teams should look out if they continue what they started last week and score early. The Dawg Pound isn’t what it used to be, and Chad Pennington will lead Gang Green to another win.

Game 1: Giants (No Line) over Tampa Bay

The Bucs are coming off of two miracle wins, both at home. The Giants are, well, better than Tampa Bay. Big Blue should cover whatever spread is eventually given to it, and trounce the Buccaneers.

Game 2: Carolina (No Line) over Dallas

Without question the Cowboys were the most overrated team coming out of training camp. They are not the team they were billed to be, and the Panthers are an elite team coming off a tough loss. Carolina in a rout.
