What did we learn in Week 2? The 14-1 ATS angle fading the team on the road in back-to-back weeks to start the season was squashed. The Miami Dolphins might very well be the worst team in the history of the league. Dak Prescott has catapulted into the MVP discussion as a front-runner under Kellen Moore's new RPO offense. Oh, and injuries to Ben Roethlisberger and Drew Brees could shape the future of the season in both the AFC and NFC (an MRI is pending for each quarterback).
Let's take a look at the early lines that are available for Week 3 and if any are worth grabbing now.

Week 3 lines I'm investing in now
Cincinnati Bengals at Buffalo Bills (-6, 42)
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor's offense looked sharp in Week 1. Cincinnati went into Seattle and averaged 6.1 yards per play and Andy Dalton threw for 418 yards on 35-of-51 passing. The offense wasn't as crisp in Week 2 against the 49ers, and the second-worst defense in the NFL last season showed as the Bengals gave up 41 to San Francisco on 8.4 yards per play. Similar to getting out in front of Dallas Cowboys overs this past week (more on this soon), I like the prospect of betting Cincinnati overs while the number is still relatively low (my projection is 43.8). The Bengals are passing at the highest frequency in the league, and Buffalo's offense projects to have its way with the Cincinnati defense.
Pick: Over 42
