Here are the point spreads for Week 2 in the NFL, as well as some lines that caught my attention.

Ravens at. Bengals +1, Sunday, 1:00PM ET
I think the consensus here is to jump on the Ravens coming off a big road victory against the Jets and to fade a Bengal team that got waxed in New England. But keep in mind that Baltimore has a short week of practice and preparation, plus has to travel for the second straight week. Cincinnati also beat them twice last year and will certainly be more focused than it was against the Patriots last Sunday.

Bears at. Cowboys -9, Sunday, 1:00PM ET
After Dallas played so poorly on national television last Sunday night in a loss to Washington, people may start to rationalize taking Chicago plus the points. But the Bears allowed a bad Detroit team to hang around until the last second before holding on at home. DeMarcus Ware (neck injury) didn’t practice on Wednesday, but he should play and I shutter to think what he’s going to do to Bears’ OT Frank Omiyale. Sunday could wind up being a long day for Jay Cutler and even though the Cowboys looked so bad offensively last week, I could see this one being a rout.

Texans at. Redskins +3, Sunday, 4:05PM ET
I could see Houston suffering a huge letdown after finally beating the Colts last week. Washington played extremely well defensively against Dallas last Sunday night and while the offense was stagnant, it’s still much improved now that Donovan McNabb is under center. It would be easy to take the Texans after they dismantled Indy, but Arian Foster isn’t going to rush for over 200 yards every week and the Redskins have the pieces in the secondary to slow Matt Schaub and the Houston secondary. Be careful about taking the road team here.

Patriots at. Jets +2.5, Sunday, 4:15PM ET
This is a tough one, because I do believe Mark Sanchez and the Jets’ passing game is as bad as it showed on Monday night. And I do think the Patriots are as good offensively as what they showed last Sunday against the Bengals. So why not take New England in basically a field goal game? Because you know Rex Ryan is going to have a great defensive game plan to stop Bill Belichick’s offense and you know he’s going to do everything he can to fluster Tom Brady. If the Jets can run the ball and make Sanchez a non-factor, I could see them pulling off the upset.
