Predictions of Creative Misfortune - Wild Card Playoff Games

The playoffs are finally here! Let's get crazy with some Wild Card predictions.

Wild Card Playoff Predictions:

AFC #6 New York Jets at AFC #3 Indianapolis Colts
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: Indianapolis, 24-17. The Colts have had to fight to get here, whereas the Jets have just talked their way into this game.
     Scottie V's Pick: New York, 20-14. I've got no love for the Jets, but I just don't think the Colts have what it takes this year.
     Vegas Lines Pick: Indianapolis, 24-21. Indianapolis by 2.5, Over/Under 44.5.
     Accuscore Pick: Indianapolis, 24-13. Indianapolis 65% win confidence
     What If Sports Pick: New York, 31-14. New York won all 5 simulations.
     Best Record Wins Pick: New York, 20-17. New York better at 11-5.
     Home Team Wins Pick: Indianapolis, 20-17

AFC #5 Baltimore Ravens at AFC #4 Kansas City Chiefs
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: Baltimore, 21-17. As much as I'd like to see the Chiefs win, Baltimore has too much playoff experience for the young upstarts to handle.
     Scottie V's Pick: Kansas City, 23-17. After a hideous game against the Raiders last weekend, KC regroups with the help of a fierce Arrowhead crowd.
     Vegas Lines Pick: Baltimore, 24-20. Baltimore by 3, Over/Under 40.5.
     Accuscore Pick: Baltimore, 23-14. Baltimore 63% win confidence
     What If Sports Pick: Kansas City, 30-17. Kansas City won 4 of 5 simulations.
     Best Record Wins Pick: Baltimore, 20-17. Baltimore better at 12-4.
     Home Team Wins Pick: Kansas City, 20-17

NFC #6 Green Bay Packers at NFC #3 Philadelphia Eagles
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: Green Bay, 28-24. The Packers have been in total survival mode for weeks now while the Eagles have stumbled recently. Once the Packers D starts hitting Vick early and often, the Eagles will fall apart before the home crowd.
     Scottie V's Pick: Green Bay, 23-20. A-Rodg is healthy and the Pack feel at home on Philly's version of the frozen tundra... Vick throws an ill-fated pick in 4th quarter.
     Vegas Lines Pick: Philadelphia, 26-20. Philadelphia by 3, Over/Under 46.
     Accuscore Pick: Philadelphia, 17-14. Philadelphia 52% win confidence
     What If Sports Pick: Philadelphia, 27-17. Philadelphia won 4 of 5 simulations.
     Best Record Wins Pick: Philadelphia, 20-17. Both records at 10-6, advantage home.
     Home Team Wins Pick: Philadelphia, 20-17

NFC #5 New Orleans Saints at NFC #4 Seattle Seahawks
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: New Orleans, 31-17. Even on the road in a loud, rocking stadium, the defending champions will not be knocked out of the playoffs by a team with a losing record.
     Scottie V's Pick: New Orleans, 31-17. Seattle keeps it close in the first half thanks to their infamous 12th man, but in the end, the Seahawks are bad.
     Vegas Lines Pick: New Orleans, 28-17. New Orleans by 10, Over/Under 44.
     Accuscore Pick: New Orleans, 30-7. New Orleans 80% win confidence
     What If Sports Pick: New Orleans, 26-20. New Orleans won 3 of 5 simulations.
     Best Record Wins Pick: New Orleans, 20-17. New Orleans better at 11-5.
     Home Team Wins Pick: Seattle, 20-17
