After a less-than-stellar week 5, all systems look to rebound with a strong showing in week 6.
Sunday Game Predictions:
Buffalo Bills at New York Giants
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Buffalo Bills by 1. Buffalo is hot and the Giants will make just enough mental mistakes to lose a second straight game.
Scottie V's Pick: Buffalo Bills by 4. The Bills are eager to beat their in-state rival and the Giants just don't seem to want it.
Vegas Lines Pick: New York Giants by 3. Giants by 3, Over/Under 50.

Home Team Wins Pick: Tampa Bay Buccaneers by 3.
Dallas Cowboys at New England Patriots
Creative Misfortune's Pick: New England Patriots by 14. Take the over. As much as I'd like to see the Cowboys pull an upset, New England will most likely win this one 49-35 in a shootout.
Scottie V's Pick: New England Patriots by 8. Who is more unlikeable: Jerry Jones or Bill Belichick? Bill is a good coach though.

Cleveland Browns at Oakland Raiders
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Oakland Raiders by 7. Inspired by last week's victory, Oakland will remain undefeated in the post-Al Davis era.

Home Team Wins Pick: Oakland Raiders by 3.
Houston Texans at Baltimore Ravens

St. Louis Rams at Green Bay Packers

Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Atlanta Falcons by 7. The Falcons will get a late touchdown to win, but up until that point, Carolina will look like they have their number.

Best Record Wins Pick: Atlanta Falcons by 3. Falcons better at 2-3.

San Francisco 49ers at Detroit Lions
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Detroit Lions by 3. The game of the week nobody would have expected before the season started. The Lions stay perfect at home.
Scottie V's Pick: Detroit Lions by 9. I'm not sure I'm quite as high on the Lions as many media pundits are this week, but I do think they'll get the win at home against a surprising 49er squad.
Vegas Lines Pick: Detroit Lions by 4. Lions by 4, Over/Under 46.
Best Record Wins Pick: Detroit Lions by 3. Lions better at 5-0.
Home Team Wins Pick: Detroit Lions by 3.
Indianapolis Colts at Cincinnati Bengals
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Cincinnati Bengals by 5. Cincinnati is playing inspired ball and will keep the struggling Colts winless.
