Week 2 MVRL predictions

I'm curious--did anyone parlay Pietsch's "Bet on it" picks? I'm thinking maybe he needs to be the one making the MVRL predictions. I'm also thinking I'll parlay them this week, so do me right, okay?
Hey, if we learned anything last week it was this-the Raiders aren't very good. Neither are the Packers. The Texans? Still bad.
(Sniff, sniff)
I think I'm smelling that parlay. On the other hand, everyone's raving about Baltimore and who can blame them-they may not allow a point until week 4. Too bad I didn't pluck down $20 on them to win the Super Bowl. Oh well.

Owls @ Dogs
Steven Jackson is a talented RB. On the way home from last Sunday's game I think I heard the phrase "powerback Steven Jackson" roughly 752 times on the postgame shows. Here's my question: Why does he dance around and try to bounce everything outside instead of staying between the tackles on plays that are designed to go there? No one ever addresses this and it bugs me. I hope that Jackson saw the film of his last three runs over and over this week because he'll get those long runs after punishing the LBs and secondary for the shorter gains like he did right before popping that long run to seal week 1's W.
Dogs 92, Owls 86.

Double Down @ Carpetbaggers
"All aboard the Carpetbagger bandwagon!" Hey, I'm on. In fact, I'm buckled up and ready for a long ride. Jamal Lewis may not have been a bad pick at #5 in the draft after all. (I know everyone thought that was too early, so don't act like you didn't.) This week Al's got Drew Brees going against a team that made Rex Grossman look like an All-Pro last week, Jamal Lewis against a team that would be 10 point underdogs against the Ohio State Buckeyes, and TO against the Cowboys' biggest rival on Sunday Night. Sounds like the formula for another W this week.
Al 88, Daniels 77.

Puffins @ Crapshoot
Fagan had my number last year, but I think this year will be different...at least I hope...probably not. I like how my team looks six weeks from now more than I like it right now. What? Is fantasy football my anti-drug or my drug? I'm not sure anymore.
Fagan 75, Harlan 63.

Hudnall's Hitters @ Buffet Boys
I don't know who Hud has going or who they're going against because I didn't bother to look. All I know is that I'm not betting against Hoffman until he gets about four guys hurt.
BB 100, HH 80.

Creamers @ Pietschskins
I hate to make all these previews brief, but as soon as I saw Jake Plummer in Troy's lineup I knew that Ryan was the pick here.
Big P 83, Lil P 73.

Rampage @ Benchpressers
If you missed the intro you may not be aware that I'm liking the Ravens D these days. I'm going to predict that before the season is over, Wes will win a game with the Ravens D outscoring his opponent. It won't be this week because Marc Bulger and Shaun Alexander will have big games to keep this one close, but trust me, it'll happen.
Mugshot alert! Should I blame it on the rain that Ernest Wilford's mug looks like a certain group from the early '90s? Wow.
Wes 96, Terry 79.

Last week: 1-5.
