Predictions of Creative Misfortune - MNF - Week 1 (2011)

After an exciting, upset-filled week 1, all human prediction systems look to gain some semblance of respectability with their Monday night picks after getting beat by the "blind" pick systems over the weekend...


Monday Night Game Predictions:

Oakland Raiders at Denver Broncos
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: Oakland Raiders by 10. Could Denver's season be over already? A home game against the hated Raiders to open the season will go a long way to answering that question.
     Scottie V's Pick: Denver Broncos by 1. In this classic AFC West grudge match, the Raiders don't live up to their preseason hype.
     Vegas Lines Pick: Denver Broncos by 3. Broncos by 3, Over/Under 40
     Best Record Wins Pick: Denver Broncos by 3. Both teams at 0-0, advantage home.
     Home Team Wins Pick: Denver Broncos by 3.


New England Patriots at Miami Dolphins
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: New England Patriots by 16. The Dolphins are no match for the Patriots and there is no Wildcat-like magic that will be able to save them on Monday night.
     Scottie V's Pick: New England Patriots by 14. The 'Fins put up a fight in the first half, but the Pats pull away in the second.
     Vegas Lines Pick: New England Patriots by 7. Patriots by 7, Over/Under 45.5
     Best Record Wins Pick: Miami Dolphins by 3. Both teams at 0-0, advantage home.
     Home Team Wins Pick: Miami Dolphins by 3.



Check back on Wednesday for Week 1 "If Real Football Used Fantasy Scoring..." results. If the Thursday Night clash between the Saints and Packers shows any indication of what to expect, the fantasy standings should look quite different from the real NFL standings...
