Predictions of Creative Misfortune - Week 4

No system has yet to hit the magical 70% accuracy mark. Will any be able to do so this week with two fewer games to pick?

Sunday Game Score Predictions:

San Francisco 49ers at Atlanta Falcons
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: Atlanta, 27-13. The Falcons have figured it out and the 49ers clearly have not.
     Scottie V's Pick: Atlanta, 28-17. Singletary's seat is getting hotter, though this team seems better than their 0-4 record.
     Vegas Lines Pick: Atlanta, 26-17. Atlanta by 6.5, Over/Under 43.
     Accuscore Pick: Atlanta, 26-10. Atlanta 72% win confidence
     What If Sports Pick: San Francisco, 20-10. San Francisco won 4 of 5 simulations.
     Best Record Wins Pick: Atlanta, 20-17. Atlanta better at 2-1.
     Home Team Wins Pick: Atlanta, 20-17

New York Jets at Buffalo Bills
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: New York Jets, 27-20. The Jets go for three straight division wins and the Bills will have no luck stopping them.
     Scottie V's Pick: New York, 23-6. The Jets are hitting their stride, but they are still jerks.
     Vegas Lines Pick: New York, 23-16. New York by 5.5, Over/Under 37.

     Best Record Wins Pick: New York, 20-17. New York better at 2-1.
     Home Team Wins Pick: Buffalo, 20-17

Cincinnati Bengals at Cleveland Browns
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: Cincinnati, 20-13. Cincinnati plays ball control and keeps their strong defense rested so they can bottle up Hillis and knock Cleveland down to 0-4.
     Scottie V's Pick: Cleveland, 17-16. The Browns are playing with pride and Cincy still has work to do.
     Vegas Lines Pick: Cincinnati, 21-17. Cincinnati by 3, Over/Under 37.
     Accuscore Pick: Cincinnati, 20-17. Cincinnati 55% win confidence
     What If Sports Pick: Cincinnati, 20-16. Cincinnati won 3 of 5 simulations.
     Best Record Wins Pick: Cincinnati, 20-17. Cincinnati better at 2-1.
     Home Team Wins Pick: Cleveland, 20-17

Detroit Lions at Green Bay Packers
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: Green Bay, 34-13. The Packers are angry at themselves for losing to Chicago and will take their frustrations out on the Lions.
     Scottie V's Pick: Green Bay, 38-10. The Pack bounces back with a vengeance after a disappointing loss in Chi-town.
     Vegas Lines Pick: Green Bay, 31-16. Green Bay by 14, Over/Under 46.
     Accuscore Pick: Green Bay, 33-6. Green Bay 89% win confidence
     What If Sports Pick: Green Bay, 31-10. Green Bay won all 5 simulations.
     Best Record Wins Pick: Green Bay, 20-17. Green Bay better at 2-1.
     Home Team Wins Pick: Green Bay, 20-17

Denver Broncos at Tennessee Titans
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: Tennessee, 27-21. The Titans show the Broncos their running game is better than Denver's passing game.
     Scottie V's Pick: Tennessee, 23-21. The Vince and Chris show overwhelms the Broncs in the end.
     Vegas Lines Pick: Tennessee, 26-17. Tennessee by 6.5, Over/Under 43.
     Accuscore Pick: Tennessee, 24-13. Tennessee 65% win confidence
     What If Sports Pick: Tennessee, 27-20. Tennessee won 3 of 5 simulations.
     Best Record Wins Pick: Tennessee, 20-17. Tennessee better at 2-1.
     Home Team Wins Pick: Tennessee, 20-17

Seattle Seahawks at St. Louis Rams
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: Seattle, 21-10. Without Steven Jackson at 100%, the Seahwaks can focus their attention on rookie Bradford. He might be a big-time quarterback some day, but today will not be the day.
     Scottie V's Pick: Seattle, 27-17. A banged up Steven Jackson spells doom for the Rams.
     Vegas Lines Pick: Seattle, 23-21. Seattle by 1, Over/Under 40.5.
     Accuscore Pick: Seattle, 17-16. Seattle 51% win confidence
     What If Sports Pick: St. Louis, 21-17. St. Louis won 4 of 5 simulations.
     Best Record Wins Pick: Seattle, 20-17. Seattle better at 2-1.
     Home Team Wins Pick: St. Louis, 20-17

Carolina Panthers at New Orleans Saints
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: New Orleans, 24-20. This game scares me for some reason. New Orleans is struggling with their identity a bit and Carolina always plays them tough, but in the end the Saints walk away with the win.
     Scottie V's Pick: New Orleans, 38-13. Not enough firepower for the Rookie-led Panthers to hang with the defending champs.
     Vegas Lines Pick: New Orleans, 30-14. New Orleans by 13.5, Over/Under 44.
     Accuscore Pick: New Orleans, 30-6. New Orleans 86% win confidence
     What If Sports Pick: New Orleans, 24-19. New Orleans won 3 of 5 simulations.
     Best Record Wins Pick: New Orleans, 20-17. New Orleans better at 2-1.
     Home Team Wins Pick: New Orleans, 20-17

Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: Pittsburgh, 13-7. A defensive touchdown means the difference between the Steelers starting 4-0 instead of 3-1. Baltimore's offense has struggled all year and playing Pittsburgh will not suddenly cure them of their woes.
     Scottie V's Pick: Pittsburgh, 24-17. Fourth-string QB notwithstanding, the Steelers are on a roll and finish the Ben-less era 4-0.
     Vegas Lines Pick: Pittsburgh, 19-17. Pittsburgh by 1.5, Over/Under 34.5.
     Accuscore Pick: Pittsburgh, 17-16. Pittsburgh 51% win confidence
     What If Sports Pick: Baltimore, 20-13. Baltimore won 3 of 5 simulations.
     Best Record Wins Pick: Pittsburgh, 20-17. Pittsburgh better at 3-0.
     Home Team Wins Pick: Pittsburgh, 20-17

Houston Texans at Oakland Raiders
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: Houston, 23-13. Licking their wounds from last week, the Texans knock off the Raiders in Oakland.
     Scottie V's Pick: Houston, 34-17. Al Davis, now thoroughly confused, wonders, "What happened to the Oilers?" He eases his mind by listening to some Wham!
     Vegas Lines Pick: Houston, 24-20. Houston by 3, Over/Under 43.
     Accuscore Pick: Houston, 24-14. Houston 64% win confidence
     What If Sports Pick: Houston, 31-16. Houston won 3 of 5 simulations.
     Best Record Wins Pick: Houston, 20-17. Houston better at 2-1.
     Home Team Wins Pick: Oakland, 20-17

Indianapolis Colts at Jacksonville Jaguars
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: Indianapolis, 35-24. Manning puts on another show in front of 40 screaming fans. Jaguars make a late run, but by then only the faithful dozen fans who lingered into the fourth quarter will see anything to be excited about.
     Scottie V's Pick: Indianapolis, 28-14. Peyton Manning is good.
     Vegas Lines Pick: Indianapolis, 28-20. Indianapolis by 7, Over/Under 46.
     Accuscore Pick: Indianapolis, 24-10. Indianapolis 70% win confidence
     What If Sports Pick: Indianapolis, 23-17. Indianapolis won 3 of 5 simulations.
     Best Record Wins Pick: Indianapolis, 20-17. Indianapolis better at 2-1.
     Home Team Wins Pick: Jacksonville, 20-17

Arizona Cardinals at San Diego Chargers
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: San Diego, 27-16. The Chargers can and will put up points at home, plus they don't make mental errors while playing in Southern California until January.
     Scottie V's Pick: San Diego, 30-17. SD wins the turnover battle and the game.
     Vegas Lines Pick: San Diego, 30-17. San Diego by 8, Over/Under 45.5.
     Accuscore Pick: San Diego, 30-7. San Diego 80% win confidence
     What If Sports Pick: San Diego, 28-17. San Diego won 4 of 5 simulations.
     Best Record Wins Pick: Arizona, 20-17. Arizona better at 2-1.
     Home Team Wins Pick: San Diego, 20-17

Washington Redskins at Philadelphia Eagles
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: Philadelphia, 27-24. Of course the Philly fans will boo McNabb. They booed him when he played for the Eagles, why wouldn't they boo him when he takes the field in a Redskins uniform?
     Scottie V's Pick: Philadelphia, 24-14. A tense game with the return of Donovan... Vick makes the big plays to seal the game.
     Vegas Lines Pick: Philadelphia, 26-17. Philadelphia by 6, Over/Under 42.5.
     Accuscore Pick: Philadelphia, 28-9. Philadelphia 77% win confidence
     What If Sports Pick: Philadelphia, 20-10. Philadelphia won all 5 simulations.
     Best Record Wins Pick: Philadelphia, 20-17. Philadelphia better at 2-1.
     Home Team Wins Pick: Philadelphia, 20-17

Chicago Bears at New York Giants
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: Chicago, 24-13. The Bears are suddenly cocky after emerging unscathed from the first three weeks of play. The Giants are playing undisciplined, careless football, which doesn't quite work with Coughlin's demeanor.
     Scottie V's Pick: New York, 23-17. Eli exposes the Bears who fall from the ranks of the unbeaten.
     Vegas Lines Pick: New York, 26-20. New York by 4, Over/Under 44.
     Accuscore Pick: New York, 21-16. New York 58% win confidence
     What If Sports Pick: New York, 21-17. New York won 4 of 5 simulations.
     Best Record Wins Pick: Chicago, 20-17. Chicago better at 3-0.
     Home Team Wins Pick: New York, 20-17


Monday Night Game Score Prediction:

New England Patriots at Miami Dolphins
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: New England, 31-27. The Patriots keep pace with the Jets and knock off Miami in South Florida.
     Scottie V's Pick: Miami, 27-24. Miami, no longer a pushover, gets a win over their longtime nemesis.
     Vegas Lines Pick: New England, 26-24. New England by 1, Over/Under 46.5.
     Accuscore Pick: New England, 17-16. New England 51% win confidence
     What If Sports Pick: New England, 24-16. New England won 3 of 5 simulations.
     Best Record Wins Pick: Miami, 20-17. Both records at 2-1, advantage home.
     Home Team Wins Pick: Miami, 20-17
