Week 9 is upon us and the bye weeks are coming to an end. 14 games fill out the slate this week, with only four teams off relaxing. See below how the pick systems think each game will shake out.
Sunday Game Predictions:
New York Jets at Buffalo Bills
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Buffalo Bills by 3. The Bills make the most of their chance to move ahead in the division.
Scottie V's Pick: Buffalo Bills by 3. Not sure why, but I'm buying the Bills more than the Jets at this point.
Vegas Lines Pick: Buffalo Bills by 2. Bills by 1.5, Over/Under 44.5.
Best Record Wins Pick: Buffalo Bills by 3. Billes better at 5-2.
Home Team Wins Pick: Buffalo Bills by 3.
Seattle Seahawks at Dallas Cowboys
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Dallas Cowboys by 7. Dallas should be able to recover from their beat down in Philly last week with a nice win over the Seahawks.
Scottie V's Pick: Dallas Cowboys by 13. The 'Boys shake off an embarassing loss last weekend.
Vegas Lines Pick: Dallas Cowboys by 12. Cowboys 11.5, Over/Under 44.5.
Best Record Wins Pick: Dallas Cowboys by 3. Cowboys better at 3-4.
Home Team Wins Pick: Dallas Cowboys by 3.
Cleveland Browns at Houston Texans
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Houston Texans by 11. Unless the Browns are able to make this an ugly game, the Texans should run away with this one.
Scottie V's Pick: Houston Texans by 8. Not overly hyped about this game, but the Texans will take it at home.
Vegas Lines Pick: Houston Texans by 11. Texans by 10.5, Over/Under 41.
Best Record Wins Pick: Houston Texans by 3. Texans better at 5-3.
Home Team Wins Pick: Houston Texans by 3.
Atlanta Falcons at Indianapolis Colts
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Atlanta Falcons by 15. There is no reason to think that this is the week the Colts will get into the win column.
Scottie V's Pick: Atlanta Falcons by 8. Peyton Manning's pre-game speech fires the Colts up enough to hang close in the first half until they finally embrace their goal of landing Luck.
Vegas Lines Pick: Atlanta Falcons by 7. Falcons by 7, Over/Under 44.
Best Record Wins Pick: Atlanta Falcons by 3. Falcons better at 4-3.
Home Team Wins Pick: Indianapolis Colts by 3.
Miami Dolphins at Kansas City Chiefs
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Kansas City Chiefs by 3. Neither Kansas City's winning streak or Miami's losing streak will be broken by this matchup.
Scottie V's Pick: Kansas City Chiefs by 4. Surely the Chiefs wouldn't blow the mojo they've built up these last few weeks… Right?
Vegas Lines Pick: Kansas City Chiefs by 4. Chiefs by 4, Over/Under 40.5.
Best Record Wins Pick: Kansas City Chiefs by 3. Chiefs better at 4-3.
Home Team Wins Pick: Kansas City Chiefs by 3.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at New Orleans Saints
Creative Misfortune's Pick: New Orleans Saints by 7. The Saints will re-establish their hold of the division and make up for their previous loss to the Bucs.
Scottie V's Pick: New Orleans Saints by 4. Though the Saints have me concerned after last weekend, I still think they are the better team.
Vegas Lines Pick: New Orleans Saints by 9. Saints by 8.5, Over/Under 50.
Best Record Wins Pick: New Orleans Saints by 3. Saints better at 5-3.
Home Team Wins Pick: New Orleans Saints by 3.
San Francisco 49ers at Washington Redskins
Creative Misfortune's Pick: San Francisco 49ers by 13. The 49ers look really good and the Redskins don’t.
Scottie V's Pick: San Francisco 49ers by 6. I'm tempted to say that the 'Skins will be the team to cool off the red-hot Niners, but then again they are the Redskins.
Vegas Lines Pick: San Francisco 49ers by 4. 49ers by 3.5, Over/under 37.
Best Record Wins Pick: San Francisco 49ers by 3. 49ers better at 6-1.
Home Team Wins Pick: Washington Redskins by 3.
Denver Broncos at Oakland Raiders
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Oakland Raiders by 8. The Raiders have had an extra week to get their offense settled and Denver is still trying to figure out what happened against Detroit.
Scottie V's Pick: Oakland Raiders by 6. Nothing would make me happier than seeing Tebow quiet the Oakland crazies, but he has been awful and doesn't have much help from his teammates.
Vegas Lines Pick: Oakland Raiders by 8. Raiders by 8, Over/under 42.5.
Best Record Wins Pick: Oakland Raiders by 3. Raiders better at 4-3.
Home Team Wins Pick: Oakland Raiders by 3.
Cincinnati Bengals at Tennessee Titans
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Cincinnati Bengals by 6. The Bengals haven’t figured out that they are supposed to lose yet.
Scottie V's Pick: Cincinnati Bengals by 6. The surprising Bengals keep pace in the AFC North by knocking off the Titans.
Vegas Lines Pick: Tennessee Titans by 3. Titans by 3, Over/under 42.
Best Record Wins Pick: Cincinnati Bengals by 3. Bengals better at 5-2.
Home Team Wins Pick: Tennessee Titans by 3.
St. Louis Rams at Arizona Cardinals
Creative Misfortune's Pick: St. Louis Rams by 3. St. Louis is on a high and the Cardinals are feeling lower than usual after last week's blown game against the Ravens.
Scottie V's Pick: St. Louis Rams by 3. A week ago I would have picked the home team to win this one, but the Rams impressed last weekend.
Vegas Lines Pick: Arizona Cardinals by 2. Cardinals by 2, Over/Under 41.5.
Best Record Wins Pick: Arizona Cardinals by 3. Both teams at 1-6, advantage home.
Home Team Wins Pick: Arizona Cardinals by 3.
New York Giants at New England Patriots
Creative Misfortune's Pick: New England Patriots by 5. The Patriots win at home in a shoot-out.
Scottie V's Pick: New England Patriots by 7. After a disappointing loss last weekend, Brady and Co. get back on the horse.
Vegas Lines Pick: New England Patriots by 9. Patriots by 9, Over/Under 50.5.
Best Record Wins Pick: New England Patriots by 3. Both teams at 5-2, advantage home.
Home Team Wins Pick: New England Patriots by 3.
Green Bay Packers at San Diego Chargers
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Green Bay Packers by 11. Even if San Diego stays competitive, they cannot play perfect enough to defeat the Packers.
Scottie V's Pick: Green Bay Packers by 14. Though San Diego must feel like a foreign country to the Packers, they are the team to beat in the NFL right now.
Vegas Lines Pick: Green Bay Packers by 6. Packers by 5.5, Over/Under 50.5
Best Record Wins Pick: Green Bay Packers by 3. Packers better at 7-0.
Home Team Wins Pick: San Diego Chargers by 3.
Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Pittsburgh Steelers by 2. In a physical game that should end with an unusual score, Steelers get the nod at home. I told somebody just the other day that they should take the Steelers by 4... but I am picking them to win by an even slimmer margin.
Scottie V's Pick: Pittsburgh Steelers by 4. "Steelers by 4" just sounds about right in this fierce rivalry.
Vegas Lines Pick: Pittsburgh Steelers by 3. Steelers by 3, Over/Under 42.
Best Record Wins Pick: Pittsburgh Steelers by 3. Steelers better at 6-2.
Home Team Wins Pick: Pittsburgh Steelers by 3.
Check back next week for Monday Night's prediction.
