NFL Week 3 Bengals +4.5
Steelers off a very tough, physical game in the elements against the Bears. I think the inclination is to expect that the Steelers just bounce back here no problem. Wrong. Bengals defense stifled the Packer offense at Lambeau, making them look absolutely inept. And the Steelers ground game is really stalled out right now. IMO it's impossible to forecast a scenario where the Steelers win by DD without a strong run game. The significance of Polamalu's absence goes without saying.
Panthers +10 -120
Cowboys are no good. Romo continues to just make terrible decisions, and their secondary is putrid. Virtually a must-win scenario for the Panthers. Line looks overly inflated and not surprising given that such a public team is playing on Monday night.
Patriots -4
Haven't really been impressed by the Falcons this season. Their first road test. Embarrassing loss last week for Bill and Co. I expect a much improved performance.
