How about that Tim Tebow guy? Denver is suddenly back to a .500 record and in the AFC West, with 7 games left in the season, the division title is just sitting there for whoever wants it most.
Sunday Game Predictions:
Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Baltimore Ravens by 3. The Ravens play up against good teams and Cincinnati is playing well.
Scottie V's Pick: Baltimore Ravens by 8. Just when you think the Ravens may be the best team in the AFC, they lay an egg in Seattle… They'll bounce back at home this week.
Vegas Lines Pick: Baltimore Ravens by 7. Ravens by 7, Over/Under 40.5.
Best Record Wins Pick: Baltimore Ravens by 3. Both teams at 6-3, advantage home.
Home Team Wins Pick: Baltimore Ravens by 3.
Jacksonville Jaguars at Cleveland Browns
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Jacksonville Jaguars by 1. I hope this game is blacked out somewhere.

Vegas Lines Pick: Cleveland Browns by 1. Browns by 1, Over/Under 34.
Best Record Wins Pick: Cleveland Browns by 3. Both teams at 3-6, advantage home.
Home Team Wins Pick: Cleveland Browns by 3.
Carolina Panthers at Detroit Lions
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Detroit Lions by 12. The Lions need to win this game if they have any hope of upsetting the Packers on Thanksgiving.
Scottie V's Pick: Detroit Lions by 4. The Lions, looking ahead to their Turkey Day matchup with the Packers, fall behind early but rally late.

Best Record Wins Pick: Detroit Lions by 3. Lions better at 6-3.
Home Team Wins Pick: Detroit Lions by 3.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Green Bay Packers
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Green Bay Packers by 23. The Packers probably will stumble before the end of the season, but the Buccaneers are not going to be the team to trip them up.
Scottie V's Pick: Green Bay Packers by 14. The Pack continue their quest for the perfect season… I don't see the Bucs putting the hammer down in the frozen tundra.
Vegas Lines Pick: Green Bay Packers by 14. Packers by 14, Over/Under 48.5.
Best Record Wins Pick: Green Bay Packers by 3. Packers better at 9-0.
Home Team Wins Pick: Green Bay Packers by 3.
Buffalo Bills at Miami Dolphins
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Buffalo Bills by 4. Buffalo gets back to their winning ways and short-circuits Miami's "Too Little, Too Late" resurgence.
Scottie V's Pick: Buffalo Bills by 4. What happens when two teams going the opposite directions collide in South Beach? I've heard that "nobody circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills" so I'm going with them.
Vegas Lines Pick: Miami Dolphins by 2. Dolphins by 2, Over/Under 43.
Best Record Wins Pick: Buffalo Bills by 3. Bills better at 5-4.
Home Team Wins Pick: Miami Dolphins by 3.
Oakland Raiders at Minnesota Vikings
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Oakland Raiders by 5. The Raiders still have something to play for besides individual stats.
Scottie V's Pick: Oakland Raiders by 4. Carson Palmer leads the Raiders to big road win to stay on track in the AFC West (realize that this is not a tall order in this division).
Vegas Lines Pick: Oakland Raiders by 1. Raiders by 1, Over/Under 45.5.
Best Record Wins Pick: Oakland Raiders by 3. Raiders better at 5-4.
Home Team Wins Pick: Minnesota Vikings by 3.
Dallas Cowboys at Washington Redskins
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Dallas Cowboys by 9. The Cowboys are on a roll and the Redskins are fading faster than any other team. That tends to happen when you play quarterbacks by committee.
Scottie V's Pick: Dallas Cowboys by 17. The Cowboys have been anything but steady this whole season, but at least they are not a train wreck.
Vegas Lines Pick: Dallas Cowboys by 8. Cowboys by 7.5, Over/Under 41.5.
Best Record Wins Pick: Dallas Cowboys by 3. Cowboys better at 5-4.
Home Team Wins Pick: Washington Redskins by 3.
Arizona Cardinals at San Francisco 49ers
Creative Misfortune's Pick: San Francisco 49ers by 14. The 49ers are playing for playoff positioning now and feasting on other NFC West teams will help them achieve a bye-week in the postseason.
Scottie V's Pick: San Francisco 49ers by 13. The newly invigorated Cardinals put up a fight in San Fran, but the Niners make all the key plays to stay on a roll.

Home Team Wins Pick: San Francisco 49ers by 3.
Seattle Seahawks at St. Louis Rams
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Seattle Seahawks by 6. Seattle can beat anybody and can be beaten by anybody. If they don’t finish 8-8, I'll be extremely disappointed in them.
Scottie V's Pick: St. Louis Rams by 3. E-gads… Can I program my RedZone to skip over coverage of this game?
Vegas Lines Pick: St. Louis Rams by 2. Rams by 1.5, Over/Under 39.
Best Record Wins Pick: Seattle Seahawks by 3. Seahawks better at 3-6.
Home Team Wins Pick: St. Louis Rams by 3.
Tennessee Titans at Atlanta Falcons
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Atlanta Falcons by 3. This looks like another overtime game to me… but Atlanta will come out of the extra quarter with a victory this week.
Scottie V's Pick: Atlanta Falcons by 14. After one of the silliest coaching decisions in the history of overtime football, the Falcons bounce back in a much-needed way.
Vegas Lines Pick: Atlanta Falcons by 6. Falcons by 6, Over/Under 44.
Best Record Wins Pick: Atlanta Falcons by 3. Both teams at 5-4, advantage home.
Home Team Wins Pick: Atlanta Falcons by 3.
San Diego Chargers at Chicago Bears
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Chicago Bears by 7. I'm done with the Chargers.

Best Record Wins Pick: Chicago Bears by 3. Bears better at 6-3.
Home Team Wins Pick: Chicago Bears by 3.
Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants
Creative Misfortune's Pick: New York Giants by 4. The Eagles are desperate for a win, but after the collapse of 2010, the 2011 Giants will not take any pity on their division rivals.
Scottie V's Pick: New York Giants by 10. The Eagles are in a tailspin and the Giants look to drive the stake into their hearts.
Vegas Lines Pick: New York Giants by 5. Giants by 5, Over/Under 46.5.
Best Record Wins Pick: New York Giants by 3. Giants better at 6-3.
Home Team Wins Pick: New York Giants by 3.
