Week 9 - Roundup of Creative Misfortune - Monday Game

Monday Night Result:

Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals (Actual ~ Pittsburgh, 27-21)
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: Pittsburgh, 24-16. The Steelers shut down the T.Ocho show under the bright lights. Over/under on Gruden saying the phrase, "This guy, Polamalu..." - 27.
     Scottie V's Pick: Pittsburgh, 27-13. Pittsburgh takes out their angst over their Halloween night loss on the Bengals.
     Vegas Lines Pick: Pittsburgh, 24-17. Pittsburgh by 5, Over/Under 41.
     Accuscore Pick: Pittsburgh, 24-10. Pittsburgh 69% win confidence
     What If Sports Pick: Pittsburgh, 23-16. Pittsburgh won 4 of 5 simulations.
     Best Record Wins Pick: Pittsburgh, 20-17. Pittsburgh better at 5-2.
     Home Team Wins Pick: Cincinnati, 20-17

     The Steelers nearly lets one get away as the Cincinnati Bengals stormed back from early miscues and had a chance to pull the upset with the ball deep inside Pittsburgh territory with less than two minutes to play. Interestingly enough, the Steelers have never blown a 20-point lead in franchise history, but had to fight to the last second in order to hold onto this record. All systems except blindly picking the home team made the correct pick in this hotly contested division match-up.


     Vegas Picks and Accuscore nailed this week's games, hitting an outstanding 12 out of 13 possible games. The Vegas Picks system when one step further than Accuscore, though, by getting their second perfect pick of the season (Oakland vs Kansas City). No other system hit the 70% prediction mark. Scottie V, the season leader through 8 weeks, stumbled in week 9, barely getting 50% of his picks right, and opened the door for the Vegas Picks system to assume first place in the prediction standings.

Week 9 Final Prediction Scoreboard...
     Vegas Picks: 12-1 (season overall: 82-48) *2 Perfect Picks
     Accuscore: 12-1 (season overall: 79-51)
     Creative Misfortune: 9-4 (season overall: 69-61) *1 Perfect Pick
     Best Record Wins Pick: 8-5 (season overall: 71-59) *2 Perfect Picks
     What If Sports: 8-5 (season overall: 67-63)
     Scottie V's: 7-6 (season overall: 80-50)
     Home Team Wins Pick: 7-6 (season overall: 75-55) *2 Perfect Picks
