Predictions of Creative Misfortune - Week 6

Last week was an upside-down, devastating week for all systems, where 50% accuracy ended up being difficult to accomplish. Will the NFL get back to normal this week, making 70% accuracy possible?


Sunday Game Score Predictions:

Seattle Seahawks at Chicago Bears
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: Seattle, 23-16. The Seahawks have had two weeks to prepare and Chicago is lucky to only have one loss after last week's performance

     Home Team Wins Pick: New England, 20-17

Detroit Lions at New York Giants
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: New York, 34-21. If Houston's offense couldn't handle the Giants while playing at home, there is no chance the Lions will be able to on the road.
     Scottie V's Pick: New York, 30-20. The Lions are unable to ride last week's momentum into another win.
     Vegas Lines Pick: New York, 28-16. New York by 10.5, Over/Under 44.

Cleveland Browns at Pittsburgh Steelers
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: Pittsburgh, 28-9. With or without Big Ben in the lineup, the Steelers win this division game.

Miami Dolphins at Green Bay Packers
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: Green Bay, 21-20. Injuries continue to ravage the Packers, but they will play strong enough at home to eek out a close win over the Dolphins.

New Orleans Saints at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: New Orleans, 24-20. The Saints will right the ship just enough to get past a known division rival, but won't do so in a way that shows everybody they are back to their championship  form.
     Scottie V's Pick: New Orleans, 20-13. Tampa keeps it low-scoring, but don't have enough firepower.

     Home Team Wins Pick: Tampa Bay, 20-17

Kansas City Chiefs at Houston Texans
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: Houston, 17-10. The Texans, stung by two straight home losses, will do just enough against the Chiefs to end their losing streak.
     Scottie V's Pick: Kansas City, 24-16. KC bounces back after tough loss in Indy to show they are for real.
     Vegas Lines Pick: Houston, 26-20. Houston by 4, Over/Under 45.

     Home Team Wins Pick: Houston, 20-17

Oakland Raiders at San Francisco 49ers
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: San Francisco, 24-14. The 49ers can't possibly be 0-6, can they? Can they!?
     Scottie V's Pick: San Francisco, 23-13. Singletary's gang finally gets it done against their Bay-area rivals.
     Vegas Lines Pick: San Francisco, 24-17. San Francisco by 6, Over/Under 41.

New York Jets at Denver Broncos
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: New York, 31-21. The Jets have dominated opponents of late and a trip to Colorado shouldn't slow them down.

     Vegas Lines Pick: New York, 23-19. New York by 3, Over/Under 41.

     Home Team Wins Pick: Denver, 20-17

Dallas Cowboys at Minnesota Vikings
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: Dallas, 27-23. The Cowboys have proven they can play better in desperate, must-win regular season playoff games than the Vikings. Dallas will also be motivated to revenge last season's terrible playoff loss in Minnesota and the drama surrounding Favre will only make this game more difficult for the Vikings.
     Scottie V's Pick: Minnesota, 27-20. The Vikings get a much-needed victory...  Wade's hot seat just got hotter.
     Vegas Lines Pick: Minnesota, 24-21. Minnesota by 1.5, Over/Under 45.

     Home Team Wins Pick: Washington, 20-17


Monday Game Score Prediction:

Tennessee Titans at Jacksonville Jaguars
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: Tennessee, 20-14. Both teams are playing for first place in the AFC South, but somehow Tennessee's win over Dallas seems far more impressive than Jacksonville's recent win over the Bills.
     Scottie V's Pick: Tennessee, 24-13. Chris Johnson and VY are too much for the Jags.
     Vegas Lines Pick: Tennessee, 26-21. Tennessee by 3, Over/Under 45.5.
     Accuscore Pick: Jacksonville, 14-13. Both teams 50% win confidence, advantage home.
