Pilfo's Parlay Week 2
September 17th 2010 - Pilfo             

The Bengals started out slow on the road last week but after they settled down they showed how tough their offense is. T.O. actually looked good and Ochocinco looked great. The Bengals also found out they have 2 good running backs in not only Benson but Bernard Scott. The Ravens played a very physical game against the Jets and earned a victory. Boldin looked great and actually made Flacco look good. Flacco's passes were off the mark all night. I expect this to be a good close game but the Bengals as a home dog? Come on now. Also, I will take the extra day of rest after week 1 every time. The Ravens played Monday night.

Prediction: Bengals 24-17

The Dolphins did not look great on the road at Buffalo but they got the job done. This was a classic example of playing down to your competition. The Dolphins will be up for this game and the Henne to Marshall connection will be stronger. The Vikings look to be without Percy Harvin this week. With Favre not in mid-season form yet and his receiving core dwindling I believe the Vikes will hand off to Peterson plenty just like in week 1. The Dolphins will be stacking the box though. Look for Camarillo to get revenge TD against his old Dolphin team though. Fins in a close one.

Prediction: Miami: 17-16

Sorry Detroit, I love you and want you to improve this season but it isn't going to happen until you get Stafford back. Detroit's defense if not going to be able to contain Vick. Vick will virtually have his choice to run or pass on most plays and get positive yardage. Eagle's defense also rolls in this one.

Prediction: Philly 47-17

Parlay:  Cinn. +2 / Miami + 5.5 / Philly - 4.5
