    The Profit
    A CBS Sports NFL editor, Brett Anderson has dominated the NFL for two straight years, going 45-26-1 (63.3 percent) while returning $1,625 to $100 players. Brett has been covering the NFL and other sports for 25-plus years, from the Midwest to Midtown Manhattan to South Florida. He joined his first NFL picks pool at age 12 and has been hammering home dogs ever since. Brett's strategy is a hybrid of data, game film and gut instinct, and he also seeks out prognosticators on a serious streak to either ride along with the red hot or, often more profitably, fade the ice cold.

    NFL | L.A. Rams 16 @ Cincinnati 19 | 09/26 | 12:15 AM UTC

    L.A. Rams +2.5 +100

    LOSS

    ANALYSIS: If Joe Burrow sits, we get free points before the line moves. If he plays, we fade a banged-up Burrow who looked bad the first two weeks. Regardless, the Rams are feisty, winning by 17 in Seattle in Week 1 as they sit 2-0 ATS. Grab the points here.

    NFL | Tennessee 3 @ Cleveland 27 | 09/24 | 5:00 PM UTC

    Cleveland -3.5 +100

    WIN

    ANALYSIS: The Browns defense has yet to allow an opposing offense inside its 30-yard line. You can make a case it's one of the three best defenses in the league, and now they get Ryan Tannehill behind a bad O-line. Mike Vrabel is normally great to take as a dog, but I think the Browns rally here in the aftermath of losing Nick Chubb. Lay the points.

    NFL | Baltimore 27 @ Cincinnati 24 | 09/17 | 5:00 PM UTC

    Cincinnati -3 -115

    LOSS

    ANALYSIS: Chalk up the Bengals' embarrassing Week 1 loss to Joe Burrow starting slow and a Browns defense that's no joke. Expect a Cincy bounce-back at home in Week 2. With four Ravens starters out (Ronnie Stanley and Tyler Linderbaum off the O-line, Marlon Humphrey and Marcus Williams in the defensive backfield) the edge goes to the talented Bengals. Lay the field goal.

    NFL | Las Vegas 10 @ Buffalo 38 | 09/17 | 5:00 PM UTC

    Buffalo -8 -110

    WIN

    ANALYSIS: Expect Josh Allen and the Bills to bounce back in a big way after the Jets defense humbled them again. When Buffalo wins, it wins by a lot. One odd thing here: Despite more than 90% of the money coming in on the Bills, the line has moved in the opposite direction, falling two points since Monday's -10. Strange, but I'll take laying fewer points with the far better team.

    NFL | Tampa Bay 20 @ Minnesota 17 | 09/10 | 5:00 PM UTC

    Tampa Bay +5.5 -110

    WIN

    ANALYSIS: The Vikings famously went 13-4 last season despite allowing more points than they scored, giving up the NFL's third most points per game, then lost both Za'Darius Smith and Dalvin Tomlinson to the Browns. Expect Chris Godwin and Mike Evans to torch their shaky CBs. Even with Baker Mayfield now throwing it, the Bucs have the better 'D' and should keep it close here. Grab the points.
