Rare favorite role for Bengals vs. Steelers in this week's Monday Night Football handicapping article.
For the first time since 2006, the Bengals will be a

FairwayJay
Week 2 of the NFL season invariably brings back great memories, as I'm reminded by clients and 'Fairway Followers' about my good fortune in week 2 of the 2009 season. At that time, I was a regular guest on a weekly radio show in Las Vegas and heard nationwide on Sirius/XM Radio.

Week 1 NFL Handicapping: AFC East
New England at Buffalo (+10) – The Patriots have beaten the Bills 9 of last 10 meetings and 19 of last 20 overall, including a pair of wins last year while scoring 52 and 37 points. But the leagues #1 offense last year won’t be as potent (427 ypg) with some key losses at receiver. Over 80% of their receiving production has been replaced, so QB Brady will have to develop chemistry while trying to run a fast-paced offense. The Patriot’s defense is still ...
