Predictions of Creative Misfortune - Divisional Playoff Games

After a wild Wild Card weekend, the Divisional playoffs kick off tomorrow with a truly divisional feel on the AFC side of the house. Since two games just weren't good enough for the Jets, Patriots, Steelers and Ravens, why not play three?

Divisional Playoff Predictions:

AFC #6 New York Jets at AFC #1 New England Patriots
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: New England, 27-21. The Patriots are the best team in the league right now and they will rise to the occasion against their "hated" division rival.
     Scottie V's Pick: New England, 24-20. Sanchez is still not quite ready for Primetime.
     Vegas Lines Pick: New England, 28-17. New England by 8.5, Over/Under 44.5.
     Accuscore Pick: New England, 28-9. New England 78% win confidence
     What If Sports Pick: New York, 21-20. New York won 3 of 5 simulations.
     Best Record Wins Pick: New England, 20-17. New England better at 14-2.
     Home Team Wins Pick: New England, 20-17

AFC #5 Baltimore Ravens at AFC #2 Pittsburgh Steelers
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: Pittsburgh, 19-17. It will be a tough, hard-fought game, but Pittsburgh's extra week of rest will prove the difference late in the fourth quarter.
     Scottie V's Pick: Pittsburgh, 27-17. The Steel City lives for games like this... Ben makes the plays when it counts.
     Vegas Lines Pick: Pittsburgh, 21-17. Pittsburgh by 3, Over/Under 37.
     Accuscore Pick: Pittsburgh, 23-14. Pittsburgh 62% win confidence
     What If Sports Pick: Baltimore, 14-10. Baltimore won 3 of 5 simulations.
     Best Record Wins Pick: Baltimore, 20-17. Baltimore better at 13-4.
     Home Team Wins Pick: Pittsburgh, 20-17

NFC #6 Green Bay Packers at NFC #1 Atlanta Falcons
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: Atlanta, 24-21. Mattie Ice vs Aaron Rodgers. The two rising superstars battle to a draw, but Atlanta's rushing attack will put the Falcons over the top.
     Scottie V's Pick: Green Bay, 24-23. Aaron Rodgers outduels Matt Ryan thanks to his feisty defense.
     Vegas Lines Pick: Atlanta, 24-21. Atlanta by 2.5, Over/Under 44.
     Accuscore Pick: Green Bay, 17-14. Green Bay 52% win confidence
     What If Sports Pick: Green Bay, 27-13. Green Bay won all 5 simulations.
     Best Record Wins Pick: Atlanta, 20-17. Atlanta better at 13-3.
     Home Team Wins Pick: Atlanta, 20-17

NFC #4 Seattle Seahawks at NFC #2 Chicago Bears
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: Chicago, 24-14. The Seahawks are absolutely terrible on the road... Although they have won in Chicago... Hmmm.
     Scottie V's Pick: Chicago, 23-17. The Seahawks put up a fight, but can't get it done down the stretch.
     Vegas Lines Pick: Chicago, 27-16. Chicago by 10, Over/Under 41.5.
     Accuscore Pick: Chicago, 28-7. Chicago 79% win confidence
