Pittsburgh Steelers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: Pittsburgh, 14-10. The Steelers win their third in a row with strong defensive play. The Buccaneers, fat on the likes of Cleveland and Carolina, won't be able to move the ball in this low-scoring affair.
     Scottie V's Pick: Pittsburgh, 31-13. Proving that not all 2-0 teams are equal, the Steelers demonstrate their defensive dominance

Cincinnati Bengals at Carolina Panthers
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: Cincinnati, 21-17. The Bengals passing attack proves too much for the Panthers rushing attack.

Dallas Cowboys at Houston Texans
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: Houston, 35-31. As much as I hate to say it, Dallas looks primed to fall to 0-3 heading into the bye. If they don;t come out with the desperation they showed last year against New orleans, Houston will win this old-style shoot-out for Texas supremacy.
     Scottie V's Pick: Houston, 31-17. The Texans play with a chip on their shoulder... They are no longer the "other team in Texas"... Wade Phillips' seat is getting hotter.

Philadelphia Eagles at Jacksonville Jaguars
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: Philadelphia, 21-14. The Jaguars defense won't have an answer for the Eagles multi-pronged attack and the Jaguars running game will once again disappoint.
     Scottie V's Pick: Jacksonville, 23-16. The Jags keep Michael Vick at bay, Kolb says "I told you so".
     Vegas Lines Pick: Philadelphia, 24-20. Philadelphia by 3, Over/Under 45.

     Scottie V's Pick: Washington, 20-13. The 'Skins load up against Steven Jackson and the Rams have no answer.

Indianapolis Colts at Denver Broncos
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: Indianapolis, 28-21. The Colts continue their aerial attack and run the ball enough to keep Denver's defense honest. The Broncos, will play strong initially before their tragic, emotional week catches up to them.
     Scottie V's Pick: Indianapolis, 27-20. Peyton puts on a clinic, Mile High crowd gives a standing ovation at end of game (well, probably not, but that would be kind of cool).    
     Vegas Lines Pick: Indianapolis, 27-21. Indianapolis by 5.5, Over/Under 48.
     Accuscore Pick: Indianapolis, 24-13. Indianapolis 65% win confidence

     Home Team Wins Pick: Denver, 20-17

Oakland Raiders at Arizona Cardinals
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: Arizona, 23-13. The Cardinals recover from their wounds after be thrashed by Atlant and thrash the Raiders in the desert.
     Scottie V's Pick: Arizona, 28-17Derek Anderson and his offense start to click... Al Davis flies to St. Louis to watch his team take on the Cardinals... He watches the entire game and wonders whether his team is the one wearing maroon and gold or navy and gold... After the game, he fires everyone in the front office for changing the team's colors without consulting him... Front office members try in vain to explain to him that the Cardinals are now located in Arizona and he was at the wrong game.   
     Vegas Lines Pick: Arizona, 23-17. Arizona by 4.5, Over/Under 39.5.

San Diego Chargers at Seattle Seahawks
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: San Diego, 30-17. The Chargers are feeling good and have put their week 1 loss behind them. Seattle is coming down off their week 1 high and won't be a match for one of the best AFC teams.
     Scottie V's Pick: San Diego, 31-27. The Chargers win by scoring a touchdown in the closing minutes... The shootout game of the week.    
     Vegas Lines Pick: San Diego, 26-20. San Diego by 5.5, Over/Under 44.5.
     Accuscore Pick: San Diego, 27-10. San Diego 74% win confidence

     Home Team Wins Pick: Seattle, 20-17

New York Jets at Miami Dolphins
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: Miami, 16-14. Sanchez struggles away from the friendly confines of New York and Miami's ball control offense takes advantage of the Jets defensive secondary now missing Revis Island.
     Scottie V's Pick: Miami, 17-16. A wildcat big-gainer ends up making the difference in this defense-dominated game of the week.
     Vegas Lines Pick: Miami, 20-17. Miami by 2, Over/Under 35.5.
     Accuscore Pick: Miami, 21-16. Miami 58% win confidence
