NFL - John Clayton's Last Call, Week 7
The Cincinnati Bengals' 27-24 victory over the Detroit Lions was, as coach Marvin Lewis described it, "huge." The victory once again proved the Bengals can play with, and win over, the good teams. They've beaten Pittsburgh, New England and Green Bay at home, but they needed to show they could win a big game on the road. Sunday was the day. The much-criticized Andy Dalton passed for 372 yards against the Lions' man-to-man defense. He had five completions of at least 22 yards. The Bengals' offensive line limited Detroit's bullying defensive line to one sack and only three hits on the quarterback.

NFL Week 8 Picks: Bengals over Jets
The Bengals are 2-0 against AFC East teams this season and they've won those games by an average of five points, so I'm going to pick them to win by five. Actually, no I'm not, because no one ever wins by five. Through seven weeks and 107 games this season, only one game has been decided by exactly five points: Seattle beat Carolina 12-7 in Week 1. But I'm still picking the Bengals to win, mainly because I don't like Geno Smith's chances against a top-10 defense. Smith's seen two of them this season (Pittsburgh, Tennessee) and the Jets lost both games. Bengals 27-20 over the Jets.
