The five-pack, Week 2 style

Here's what we're looking at this week in the NFL:

Bengals -6.5 at Browns
Lions/Vikings under 42.5
Seahawks/Cardinals over 43.5
Bears -12.5 vs. Chiefs
Eagles -6.5 vs. Redskins

Cinci should be the no-brainer lock of the week with the Browns starting Anderson at QB. That team is circling the bowl until they get Quinn under center. The Vikes' unders are going to be solid plays all year, especially on the road where their offense will have a harder time being successful in most places.

Seattle and Arizona usually put points on the board against each other in Arizona -- the last two years they've scored 48 and 52, and both offenses are improved again this year. Bears will be angry, focused, and just plain better than the woeful Chiefs. And the Eagles need this one on Monday night against a Redskins team that struggled to beat terrible Miami at home last week.

I, too, like the Bengals as stone-cold, lead-pipe lock of the week.

Other teams I like (odds according to ESPN.com Pigskin Pickem):

Steelers -9.5 vs. Bills
Saints -3.5 at Bucs
Cowboys -3.5 at Miami

Certainly this advice comes a little late, but I too thought the Bengals would beat up on my Browns, but the first lesson my dad taught me about gambling was to pay close attention to Monday night winners the following week. They're often a little sluggish and ripe for the upset.

I hope you saw the highlight of Chad Johnson in the Dawg Pound!
