Another fun week of games in the NFL. After all the drama in the NBA this week, really makes you appreciate football more, doesn't it?
Sunday Game Predictions:
Washington Redskins at Carolina Panthers
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Carolina Panthers by 6. Cam Newton gets another win as Washington once again makes a change at quarterback.
Scottie V's Pick: Carolina Panthers by 6. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm starting to believe in this Cam Newton guy… And it doesn't hurt to have Jonathan Stewart in the backfield.
Vegas Lines Pick: Carolina Panthers by 3. Panthers by 2.5, Over/Under 43.
Best Record Wins Pick: Washington Redskins by 3. Redskins better at 3-2.
Home Team Wins Pick: Carolina Panthers by 3.
Seattle Seahawks at Cleveland Browns
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Cleveland Browns by 1. I don’t know. The Browns, I guess. Some games shouldn't be televised.
Scottie V's Pick: Cleveland Browns by 3. Browns fans will equate to a "-12th Man" advantage for the 'Hawks.
Vegas Lines Pick: Cleveland Browns by 3. Browns by 3, Over/Under 41.5.
Best Record Wins Pick: Cleveland Browns by 3. Both teams at 2-3, advantage home.

Atlanta Falcons at Detroit Lions
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Detroit Lions by 6. Feeling feisty and angry after last week, Detroit gets back on the winning track.
Scottie V's Pick: Detroit Lions by 4. Aw Schwartz… He definitely came out of the Harbaugh confrontation looking like a silly little man… A win over the Falcons will help him to save some face and move on.

Best Record Wins Pick: Detroit Lions by 3. Lions better at 5-1.
Home Team Wins Pick: Detroit Lions by 3.
Denver Broncos at Miami Dolphins
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Denver Broncos by 3. TIM TEBOW! How can you pick against him in Florida?

Best Record Wins Pick: Denver Broncos by 3. Broncos better at 1-4.
Home Team Wins Pick: Miami Dolphins by 3.
San Diego Chargers at New York Jets

Chicago Bears at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Tampa Bay Buccaneers by 3. An American classic game in London, let's go with the "home" team.

Pittsburgh Steelers at Arizona Cardinals
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Pittsburgh Steelers by 11. These are not the same Cardinals Pittsburgh defeated in the Super Bowl a few years ago.
Scottie V's Pick: Pittsburgh Steelers by 13. Pittsburgh is starting to generate some momentum and I don't think this West coast trip is going to slow them down.
Vegas Lines Pick: Pittsburgh Steelers by 4. Steelers by 4, Over/Under 43.
Best Record Wins Pick: Pittsburgh Steelers by 3. Steelers better at 4-2.
Home Team Wins Pick: Arizona Cardinals by 3.
Kansas City Chiefs at Oakland Raiders
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Oakland Raiders by 10. Carson Palmer may be rusty, but Oakland's D and its running game will be more than enough to give the Chiefs another loss.
Scottie V's Pick: Oakland Raiders by 11. Call me silly, but I got a feeling this Carson Palmer move is going to pan out for the Raid'ahs.

Best Record Wins Pick: Oakland Raiders by 3. Raiders better at 4-2.
Home Team Wins Pick: Oakland Raiders by 3.
St. Louis Rams at Dallas Cowboys
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Dallas Cowboys by 10. If the Cowboys can’t beat the Rams at home, they might as well give up on the season.
Scottie V's Pick: Dallas Cowboys by 14. The 'Boys need this game and the Rams aren't really one to put up a fight.

Best Record Wins Pick: Dallas Cowboys by 3. Cowboys better at 2-3.
Home Team Wins Pick: Dallas Cowboys by 3.
Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Green Bay Packers by 16. Ponder will spark the Vikings at first, but this game should be over by halftime.
Scottie V's Pick: Green Bay Packers by 18. The Ponder era begins with this pondering: Just how did the Vikings get so bad so quickly?

Best Record Wins Pick: Green Bay Packers by 3. Packers better at 6-0.
Home Team Wins Pick: Minnesota Vikings by 3.
Indianapolis Colts at New Orleans Saints
Creative Misfortune's Pick: New Orleans Saints by 12. Brees won’t throw 4 interceptions against the Colts. 4 touchdowns is far more likely.
