Week 13 - Roundup of Creative Misfortune - Monday Game

Monday Night Result:

New York Jets at New England Patriots (Actual ~ New England, 45-3)
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: New England, 21-17. Act II of the AFC's greatest Week 13 matchups. The Patriots even the score with the Jets and take control of the division.
     Scottie V's Pick: New England, 27-17. The Jets are still not in the same class as a red-hot Patriot team.
     Vegas Lines Pick: New England, 26-21. New England by 3.5, Over/Under 45.5.
     Accuscore Pick: New England, 24-13. New England 66% win confidence
     What If Sports Pick: New York, 24-14. New York won all 5 simulations.
     Best Record Wins Pick: New England, 20-17. Both teams at 9-2, advantage home.
     Home Team Wins Pick: New England, 20-17

     The Patriots dominated their bitter, division rivals in all aspects of the game and easily took control of the AFC East with a crushing victory. Tom Brady moved the offense efficiently and the young defense baffled the Jets and didn't allow them any kind of rhythm, particularly in the first half. New England now becomes the team to beat in the AFC and is in complete control of their own destiny. Unless New England stumbles, the road to Super Bowl XLV will go through Foxboro. All systems, except What If Sports, pick up another victory with their backing of the Patriots.


     Three systems - Creative Misfortune, Scottie V and blindly picking the team with the best record - recorded outstanding 75% accuracy with their week 13 picks. Creative Misfortune and Scottie V stumbled with their pick of the Bills to upset the Vikings, but otherwise had a solid weekend. Both the Vegas Picks and Accuscore systems came close to the 70% accuracy mark, while What If Sports struggled to get more than 50% correct. Blindly picking the home team once again failed miserably.
