14 games are back on the schedule as week 10 sees the last of the NFL's bye weeks. Can the Vegas Picks and Accuscore systems duplicate their near flawless week 9 performances? Vegas is already off to great start, but Accuscore stumbled out of the gate with their Thursday Night pick.
Thursday Night Game Result:
Baltimore Ravens at Atlanta Falcons (Actual ~ Atlanta, 26-21)
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Atlanta, 23-17. In a tight game, home field advantage and offensive miscues by the Ravens will allow the Falcons to take this one.
Scottie V's Pick: Atlanta, 20-17. Baltimore looks good, but I'm still not a believer in their offense.
Vegas Lines Pick: Atlanta, 23-21. Atlanta by 1, Over/Under 44.
Accuscore Pick: Baltimore, 21-17. Baltimore 57% win confidence
What If Sports Pick: Atlanta, 28-23. Atlanta won 3 of 5 simulations.
Best Record Wins Pick: Atlanta, 20-17. Both teams at 6-2, advantage home.
Home Team Wins Pick: Atlanta, 20-17
Stingy defensive play in the first half gave way to outstanding offensive play late in the fourth quarter as both young quarterbacks worked their two-minute drills to perfection. Flacco, unfortunately, led his game-winning drive too efficiently and left just enough time for Matt Ryan to answer with his own game-winning drive. All pick systems, except Accuscore, get this game correctly, deferring to the home team on a short week, but Accuscore nailed the Ravens score perfectly.
Sunday Game Score Predictions:
Detroit Lions at Buffalo Bills
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Buffalo, 21-13. If Buffalo can't win this game at home, Detroit's 0-16 record of futility may be duplicated.
Scottie V's Pick: Buffalo, 21-17. They've been knocking on the door for the last several weeks... This time they kick it down.
Vegas Lines Pick: Buffalo, 24-20. Buffalo by 3, Over/Under 43.5.

New York Jets at Cleveland Browns
Creative Misfortune's Pick: New York, 23-20. As much as the Jets loved seeing the New England Patriots get destroyed in Cleveland last week, reality set in when they realized they would be traveling to the Dawg Pound this week.

Houston Texans at Jacksonville Jaguars
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Houston, 27-24. Desperation is setting in and Houston will find their confidence against the weakest of their division rivals.

Kansas City Chiefs at Denver Broncos
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Kansas City, 24-17. The Chiefs did everything right in Oakland last week, except close out the game. They correct those little mistakes this week in Denver.
Scottie V's Pick: Kansas City, 27-17. Despite last week's tough loss, KC is playing at a high level... Denver, not so much.

Dallas Cowboys at New York Giants
Creative Misfortune's Pick: New York, 38-14. I shudder to think how bad Dallas will look in this game.

Seattle Seahawks at Arizona Cardinals
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Arizona, 23-20. The Seahawks won't have Brett Favre to rally them for any fourth quarter heroics.
Scottie V's Pick: Arizona, 24-23. The Cardinals showed a pulse in Minnesota last week... This week they get the W.

New England Patriots at Pittsburgh Steelers
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Pittsburgh, 21-16. If Cleveland's defense can work the Patriots over, just think what Pittsburgh's can do.
Scottie V's Pick: Pittsburgh, 27-20. The Steelers buck their recent trend and actually outplay their opponent in the 4th quarter... A solid Pats team drops their second in a row.
Vegas Lines Pick: Pittsburgh, 26-21. Pittsburgh by 4.5, Over/Under 45.
Accuscore Pick: Pittsburgh, 21-16. Pittsburgh 60% win confidence

Monday Night Score Prediction:
Philadelphia Eagles at Washington Redskins
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Philadelphia, 24-20. Philadelphia will have to keep pace with the Giants if they are to have any chance in the NFC East.
Scottie V's Pick: Philadelphia, 23-17. The underappreciated Donovan McNabb gets a visit from the team that used to underappreciate him... Donovan falls short in the two-minute drill and the Eagles escape with a victory... Mike Shanahan inwardly says, "See, I told you so..."
Vegas Lines Pick: Philadelphia, 24-20. Philadelphia by 3, Over/Under 42.5.
Accuscore Pick: Philadelphia, 24-13. Philadelphia 67% win confidence
