Scottie V and Vegas Lines are still above the 70% accuracy mark after three weeks of predictions. Will they maintain their position at the top of the leaderboard with their week 4 picks?
Sunday Game Predictions:
Carolina Panthers at Chicago Bears
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Chicago Bears by 3. The Bears Defense can give Aaron Rodgers fits. They'll slow Carolina enough to give their offense a chance to win.
Scottie V's Pick: Chicago Bears by 1. Cutler outduels Newton… Barely.
Vegas Lines Pick: Chicago Bears by 7. Bears by 6.5, Over/under 43.5.
Best Record Wins Pick: Chicago Bears by 3. Both teams at 1-2, advantage home.
Home Team Wins Pick: Chicago Bears by 3.
Buffalo Bills at Cincinnati Bengals
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Buffalo Bills by 7. Marvin Lewis can make all the ridiculous guarantees he wants, but the Bills are a far better team than the Bengals.
Scottie V's Pick: Buffalo Bills by 10. Buffalo really wants to show their 3-0 start is no fluke… Beating the Bengals doesn't do a ton to prove otherwise, but they'll take it just the same.
Vegas Lines Pick: Buffalo Bills by 3. Bills by 3, Over/Under 43.5.
Best Record Wins Pick: Buffalo Bills by 3. Bills better at 3-0.
Home Team Wins Pick: Cincinnati Bengals by 3.
Tennessee Titans at Cleveland Browns
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Tennessee Titans by 5. Chris Johnson has to remember how to run the ball at some point this season. Why not this week against the Browns?

Vegas Lines Pick: Cleveland Browns by 1. Browns by 1, Over/Under 39.
Best Record Wins Pick: Cleveland Browns by 3. Both teams at 2-1, advantage home.
Home Team Wins Pick: Cleveland Browns by 3.
Detroit Lions at Dallas Cowboys
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Detroit Lions by 8. The Cowboys secondary is no match for Megatron. This could get ugly unless Rob Ryan can get the D to play four quarters of inspired football.

Vegas Lines Pick: Dallas Cowboys by 2. Cowboys by 1.5, Over/Under 46.
Best Record Wins Pick: Detroit Lions by 3. Lions better at 3-0.
Home Team Wins Pick: Dallas Cowboys by 3.
Pittsburgh Steelers at Houston Texans
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Houston Texans by 4. The Steelers have been too careless with the football and turnovers will kill them when they face the explosive Texans.

Home Team Wins Pick: Jacksonville Jaguars by 3.
Minnesota Vikings at Kansas City Chiefs
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Minnesota Vikings by 3. The stoppable force meets the movable object. Something has to give and the Vikings will end their streak of second half collapses.

San Francisco 49ers at Philadelphia Eagles
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Philadelphia Eagles by 4. Even one-handed, Vick and the banged-up Eagles should be able to handle the 49ers at home.

Vegas Lines Pick: Philadelphia Eagles by 9. Eagles by 9, Over/Under 44.

Home Team Wins Pick: Philadelphia Eagles by 3.
Washington Redskins at St. Louis Rams

Scottie V's Pick: New York Giants by 8. The Cards get schooled in front of their home crowd.
Vegas Lines Pick: New York Giants by 1. Giants by 1, Over/Under 44.
Best Record Wins Pick: New York Giants by 3. Giants better at 2-1.
Home Team Wins Pick: Arizona Cardinals by 3.
Atlanta Falcons at Seattle Seahawks
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Atlanta Falcons by 6. Atlanta will wake up and remember this week that they are a run-first offense. Seattle won’t be able to stop them.
Scottie V's Pick: Atlanta Falcons by 8. The Seahawks don't have the firepower and the 12th man isn't enough to get 'er done.

New England Patriots at Oakland Raiders
Creative Misfortune's Pick: New England Patriots by 7. Brady won’t throw 4 interceptions again this week, but 4 touchdowns is still very likely.
Scottie V's Pick: Oakland Raiders by 3. The Pats are looking to rebound from their collapse last weekend, but run into a hot Raider team with rabid fans that make the Boston Tea Party look like, well, a tea party.
Vegas Lines Pick: New England Patriots by 4. Patriots by 4, Over/Under 55.
Best Record Wins Pick: Oakland Raiders by 3. Both teams at 2-1, advantage home.
Home Team Wins Pick: Oakland Raiders by 3.
Miami Dolphins at San Diego Chargers
