Monday Night Game Result:
Green Bay Packers at Chicago Bears (Actual ~ Chicago, 20-17)
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Green Bay, 26-21. The Packers confirm their selection as Creative Misfortune's #1 power ranking by defeating the Bears in Chicago.
Scottie V's Pick: Green Bay, 27-17. The Packers truly have the look of a contender with their business-like offensive efficiency.
Vegas Lines Pick: Green Bay, 26-21. Green Bay by 3, Over/Under 46.
Accuscore Pick: Green Bay, 21-17. Green Bay 56% win confidence
What If Sports Pick: Green Bay, 17-10. Green Bay won 4 of 5 simulations.
Best Record Wins Pick: Chicago, 20-17. Both records at 2-0, advantage home.
Home Team Wins Pick: Chicago, 20-17
Not since the heyday of the Boston Yanks have the Green Bay Packers played such a sloppy, penalty-filled game. Winning on the road is always difficult in the NFL, but committing nearly 20 penalties makes the task far more difficult than it needs to be. The highly-favored, Super Bowl-touted Packers fall to the only undefeated team left in the NFC - the Monsters of the Midway - the Chicago Bears.
This game also featured the first perfect picks by any system so far this crazy, nearly unpredictable season. The blind picks of Home Team Wins, 20-17 proves to be the perfect answer for this Monday Night game. Also blindly picking the team with the best record or home field advantage winning 20-17 allowed for perfection. Of the actual systems with some suspect thought behind them, What If Sports nailed perfectly the 17 points Green Bay scored, but had the Bears scoring only half as many as they did.
After another wild week in the NFL, all systems end up only getting 50% of their picks correct. More's the pity, I say.
