Fat and happy after eating all that turkey... now it's time to pick the remaining NFL games. None of these are as inspiring as the three matchups we saw yesterday.
Sunday Game Predictions:
Minnesota Vikings at Atlanta Falcons
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Atlanta Falcons by 9. The Vikings are easy pickings these days… and that was before Adrian Peterson was injured.

Best Record Wins Pick: Atlanta Falcons by 3. Falcons better at 6-4.
Home Team Wins Pick: Atlanta Falcons by 3.

Best Record Wins Pick: Carolina Panthers by 3. Panthers better at 2-8.
Home Team Wins Pick: Indianapolis Colts by 3.
Houston Texans at Jacksonville Jaguars
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Houston Texans by 16. Even with the drop-off from Schaub to Leinart, it shouldn't be too difficult to hand the ball off to Foster and Tate for a win.
Scottie V's Pick: Houston Texans by 4. The Schaub-less Texans get their first road test… Despite Leinart's best efforts to derail the cause, they get the victory.
Vegas Lines Pick: Houston Texans by 4. Texans by 3.5, Over/Under 37.
Best Record Wins Pick: Houston Texans by 3. Texans better at 7-3.

Buffalo Bills at New York Jets
Creative Misfortune's Pick: New York Jets by 3. The Bills couldn’t beat the Jets in Buffalo a few weeks ago. Since then Buffalo has played terribly.

Vegas Lines Pick: New York Jets by 9. Jets by 9, Over/Under 41.5.
Best Record Wins Pick: New York Jets by 3. Both teams at 5-5, advantage home.

Home Team Wins Pick: Tennessee Titans by 3.
Chicago Bears at Oakland Raiders

Best Record Wins Pick: New England Patriots by 3. Patriots better at 7-3.
Home Team Wins Pick: Philadelphia Eagles by 3.
Denver Broncos at San Diego Chargers
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Denver Broncos by 2. I have faith in Tebow… and in San Diego's ability to continue to underachieve.
Scottie V's Pick: San Diego Chargers by 4. Surely Tebow can't pull another one out while completing only 20% of his passes and surely the Chargers can't lose again… Right?
Vegas Lines Pick: San Diego Chargers by 6. Chargers by 6, Over/Under 41.5.
Best Record Wins Pick: Denver Broncos by 3. Broncos better at 5-5.
Home Team Wins Pick: San Diego Chargers by 3.
Pittsburgh Steelers at Kansas City Chiefs
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Pittsburgh Steelers by 15. The rested Steelers should have no problem against the struggling Chiefs.
Scottie V's Pick: Pittsburgh Steelers by 13. I was in Arrowhead a couple years ago when the Chiefs stole the game from the Steelers… Not this year.
