Most systems look to continue their accurate ways following Thursday Night's result as the full slate of Week 14 games resumes on Sunday. Will the Best Record system lead all picks once again this week?
Thursday Night Result:
Indianapolis Colts at Tennessee Titans (Actual ~ Indianapolis, 30-28)
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Indianapolis, 27-17. On a short week, offenses have the advantage and Manning and the Colts, despite their recent troubles, have a far superior offense than the Titans.
Scottie V's Pick: Indianapolis, 28-17. This is a must-win for Indy and the Titans are slumping badly
Vegas Lines Pick: Indianapolis, 26-20. Indianapolis by 3, Over/Under 45.
Accuscore Pick: Indianapolis, 17-14. Indianapolis 52% win confidence
What If Sports Pick: Tennessee, 28-12. Tennessee won 4 of 5 simulations.
Best Record Wins Pick: Indianapolis, 20-17. Indianapolis better at 6-6.
Home Team Wins Pick: Tennessee, 20-17
Peyton Manning ended his Pick-6 streak with a solid, interception-free performance on Thursday Night. The Colts dominated the first half, then slowed down enough in the second half to allow the Titans to crawl back into the game. A touchdown pass from Collins to Scaife on the final play - meaningless, really, unless you had wagered on the outcome or had Scaife started on your fantasy team - made the game appear a lot closer than it actually was. All systems, except the Home Team Wins and What If sports, picked up their first win of the week. What If Sports did however get Tennessee's score right on the mark. Too bad they had the Colts scoring so few.
Sunday Game Score Predictions:
Cleveland Browns at Buffalo Bills
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Cleveland, 21-17. Cleveland is playing much better than Buffalo these days and didn't get crushed last week.
Scottie V's Pick: Buffalo, 23-17. The Bills are the best bad team in the NFL.
Vegas Lines Pick: Buffalo, 23-20. Buffalo by 1, Over/Under 39.5.

Best Record Wins Pick: Cleveland, 20-17. Cleveland better at 5-7.
Home Team Wins Pick: Buffalo, 20-17
New England Patriots at Chicago Bears
Creative Misfortune's Pick: New England, 28-20. The Patriots are on a roll and their defense is too opportunistic not to make Cutler pay for a few errant throws.
Scottie V's Pick: New England, 34-17. The red-hot Pats expose the Bears.
Vegas Lines Pick: New England, 24-20. New England by 3, Over/Under 40.5.
Accuscore Pick: New England, 23-16. New England 61% win confidence
What If Sports Pick: Chicago, 20-10. Chicago won 4 of 5 simulations.

Home Team Wins Pick: Chicago, 20-17
Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Green Bay, 34-17. The Packers are the best offensive team in the NFC and Detroit's defense won't be able to slow them down.
Scottie V's Pick: Green Bay, 27-20. Aaron Rodgers is a stud and this team needs the win to keep up with the Bears.
Vegas Lines Pick: Green Bay, 27-20. Green Bay by 6.5, Over/Under 46.
Accuscore Pick: Green Bay, 28-10. Green Bay 76% win confidence

Home Team Wins Pick: Detroit, 20-17
New York Giants at Minnesota Vikings
Creative Misfortune's Pick: New York, 24-20. The Vikings seem to be coming together as a team, but New York's defensive line will swarm all over Minnesota's offensive line. Favre may start, but he won't finish.
Scottie V's Pick: New York, 23-16. It's hard to picture the Giants playing in a dome, but they'll get the big win to keep up with the Eagles.
Vegas Lines Pick: New York, 23-20. New York by 2, Over/Under 43.
Accuscore Pick: Minnesota, 20-17. Minnesota 54% win confidence

Home Team Wins Pick: MInnesota, 20-17
Cincinnati Bengals at Pittsburgh Steelers
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Pittsburgh, 27-21. Pittsburgh coasts to a win after dominating the first half, but Cincinnati's garbage-time offense will help keep the end game close.
Scottie V's Pick: Pittsburgh, 24-13. Coming off an emotional victory over the Ravens, the Steel Curtain keeps their eye on the prize and takes care of business vs. the Bungles.
Vegas Lines Pick: Pittsburgh, 26-16. Pittsburgh by 8.5, Over/Under 39.5.
Accuscore Pick: Pittsburgh, 31-6. Pittsburgh 84% win confidence

Best Record Wins Pick: Pittsburgh, 20-17. Pittsburgh better at 9-3.
Home Team Wins Pick: Pittsburgh, 20-17
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Washington Redskins
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Tampa Bay, 24-10. The Bucs don't lose to teams with losing records.
Scottie V's Pick: Tampa Bay, 23-17. Not sure I'm really buying the Bucs, but at least they're not grossly overpaying an aging quarterback.
Vegas Lines Pick: Tampa Bay, 23-20. Tampa Bay by 1.5, Over/Under 41.
Accuscore Pick: Tampa Bay, 20-17. Tampa Bay 54% win confidence

Best Record Wins Pick: Tampa Bay, 20-17. Tampa Bay better at 7-5.
Home Team Wins Pick: Washington, 20-17
Atlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Atlanta, 23-7. The Falcons may be tempted to mail this one in, but the charging Saints and Buccaneers will motivate them to put the Panthers away quickly.
Scottie V's Pick: Atlanta, 27-10. This should be an easy victory for the Falcons... Do they have the maturity to take care of business? I think so.
Vegas Lines Pick: Atlanta, 26-17. Atlanta by 7, Over/Under 42.5.
Accuscore Pick: Atlanta, 24-13. Atlanta 67% win confidence
What If Sports Pick: Carolina, 26-16. Carolina won 4 of 5 simulations.

Oakland Raiders at Jacksonville Jaguars
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Jacksonville, 23-21. Jacksonville will do just enough at home to win a close one and maintain their division lead.
Scottie V's Pick: Jacksonville, 24-23. The Jags are playing well... Home field puts them over the hump against the Raiders.
Vegas Lines Pick: Jacksonville, 24-17. Jacksonville by 4, Over/Under 43.
Accuscore Pick: Jacksonville, 20-17. Jacksonville 54% win confidence
What If Sports Pick: Oakland, 24-17. Oakland won 4 of 5 simulations.

Seattle Seahawks at San Francisco 49ers
Creative Misfortune's Pick: San Francisco, 21-17. The 49ers prevail in another classic NFC West battle.
Scottie V's Pick: San Francisco, 23-20. Giving the Niners the nod at Candlestick (or whatever they call it now).

St. Louis Rams at New Orleans Saints
Creative Misfortune's Pick: New Orleans, 30-23. Bradford is good, but Brees is better.

Accuscore Pick: New Orleans, 31-7. New Orleans 82% win confidence

Home Team Wins Pick: New Orleans, 20-17
Miami Dolphins at New York Jets
Creative Misfortune's Pick: New York, 17-14. Miami plays tough on the road, but offensively they can't compare to the Patriots and won't be able to break through a Jets D that was embarassed last week.
Scottie V's Pick: New York, 23-17. Still not sure I'm buying the Jets (Monday Night didn't help), but I think they'll take down the Dolph's.
Vegas Lines Pick: New York, 23-17. New York by 5.5, Over/Under 39.5.
Accuscore Pick: New York, 21-16. New York 58% win confidence

Home Team Wins Pick: New York, 20-17
Denver Broncos at Arizona Cardinals
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Denver, 27-14. Interim coaches always - ALWAYS - win their first game, if 2010 has shown us anything, especially when they play the Arizona Cardinals.
Scottie V's Pick: Denver, 20-17. Hard to believe that the Cards have fallen this far, but I have zero confidence in them, even at home against a interimly-coached Bronc team.
Vegas Lines Pick: Denver, 24-17. Denver by 5.5, Over/Under 42.
Accuscore Pick: Denver, 23-16. Denver 61% win confidence

Home Team Wins Pick: Arizona, 20-17
Kansas City Chiefs at San Diego Chargers
Creative Misfortune's Pick: San Diego, 28-24. San Diego won't be humiliated two weeks in a row... at home... in December... by division opponents. Will they?
Scottie V's Pick: Kansas City, 27-23. The Game of the Week... The Chiefs roll into San Diego and get a HUGE win against their divisional foe.
Vegas Lines Pick: San Diego, 28-20. San Diego by 7, Over/Under 47.
Accuscore Pick: San Diego, 28-7. San Diego 79% win confidence

Home Team Wins Pick: San Diego, 20-17
Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Philadelphia, 24-17. The Cowboys have been playing well lately, but the Eagles will do just enough to end Dallas' faint hopes at a playoff spot.
Scottie V's Pick: Philadelphia, 27-21. Good game as well... Mike Vick is the difference.

Baltimore Ravens at Houston Texans
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Houston, 27-17. The Texans are fresh and ready to go after having a few extra days off. The Ravens are coming off short rest after a physical game.
