With fewer games and six teams out on byes again this week, every week 9 pick will be crucial for all systems if they hope to break the 70% accuracy barrier that has been so elusive this crazy season.
Sunday Game Score Predictions:
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Atlanta Falcons
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Atlanta, 27-17. The Falcons take their first big step toward claiming the NFC South title.
Scottie V's Pick: Atlanta, 23-17. The Falcons cool off the streaking Bucs.
Vegas Lines Pick: Atlanta, 28-17. Atlanta by 8.5, Over/Under 44.5.
Accuscore Pick: Atlanta, 24-10. Atlanta 69% win confidence
What If Sports Pick: Atlanta, 30-17. Atlanta won all 5 simulations.
Best Record Wins Pick: Atlanta, 20-17. Both records at 5-2, advantage home.
Home Team Wins Pick: Atlanta, 20-17
Chicago Bears at Buffalo Bills
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Buffalo, 24-17. The 0-7 Bills will not finish 0-16. With the combustible Bears coming to town, their losing streak ends.
Scottie V's Pick: Buffalo, 27-17. In a battle of awful teams, at least the Bills seem to be playing with some pride.
Vegas Lines Pick: Chicago, 24-20. Chicago by 3, Over/Under 40.5.
Accuscore Pick: Chicago, 21-17. Chicago 56% win confidence
What If Sports Pick: Buffalo, 23-10. Buffalo won 4 of 5 simulations.
Best Record Wins Pick: Chicago, 20-17. Chicago better at 4-3.
Home Team Wins Pick: Buffalo, 20-17
New England Patriots at Cleveland Browns
Creative Misfortune's Pick: New England, 23-17. The Pats have studied how the Browns surprised the Saints a few weeks back and Belichick won't let his team make the same mistakes. Plus, he has little love for a city that ran him out of town after his first coaching stint years ago.
Scottie V's Pick: New England, 28-14. The Pats are looking like a real contender... Even Randy Moss loves 'em

Home Team Wins Pick: Cleveland, 20-17
New York Jets at Detroit Lions
Creative Misfortune's Pick: New York, 26-21. Last week was an embarrassment and after being lambasted by the New York media and Coach Ryan all week, the Jets will come to Detroit with a renewed sense of urgency.
Scottie V's Pick: Detroit, 20-13. Maybe just wishful thinking, but I'm hoping the Jets offensive woes won't go away soon.
Vegas Lines Pick: New York, 24-17. New York by 4, Over/Under 41.
Accuscore Pick: New York, 24-10. New York 68% win confidence

Best Record Wins Pick: New York, 20-17. New York better at 5-2.
Home Team Wins Pick: Detroit, 20-17
Arizona Cardinals at Minnesota Vikings
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Minnesota, 21-13. The Vikings are not all there these days, but they haven't fallen so far they won't be able to beat the Cardinals.
Scottie V's Pick: Minnesota, 27-21. Favre gets the Byron Leftwich-at-Marshall treatment, getting his crippled body carried to and from the huddle after each play.
Vegas Lines Pick: Minnesota, 26-17. Minnesota by 8.5, Over/Under 41.
Accuscore Pick: Minnesota, 28-9. Minnesota 78% win confidence

Best Record Wins Pick: Arizona, 20-17. Arizona better at 3-4.
Home Team Wins Pick: Minnesota, 20-17
New Orleans Saints at Carolina Panthers
Creative Misfortune's Pick: New Orleans, 28-14. Nothing will rejuvenate the Saints' offense more than the return of their aggressive, ball-hawking defense.
Scottie V's Pick: New Orleans, 24-17. The Saints D carries them in this one.
Vegas Lines Pick: New Orleans, 24-17. New Orleans by 6.5, Over/Under 41.
Accuscore Pick: New Orleans, 24-13. New Orleans 67% win confidence
What If Sports Pick: New Orleans, 24-16. New Orleans won 3 of 5 simulations.
Best Record Wins Pick: New Orleans, 20-17. New Orleans better at 5-3.
Home Team Wins Pick: Carolina, 20-17
Miami Dolphins at Baltimore Ravens
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Baltimore, 24-21. The Ravens have had a week to get rested up for the physical Dolphins and will bring Miami's road winning streak to a screeching halt
Scottie V's Pick: Baltimore, 23-16. Miami can't hang with the Ravens at home.
Vegas Lines Pick: Baltimore, 24-17. Baltimore by 4, Over/Under 40.5.

Best Record Wins Pick: Baltimore, 20-17. Baltimore better at 5-2.
Home Team Wins Pick: Baltimore, 20-17
San Diego Chargers at Houston Texans
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Houston, 31-28. The Chargers will make the mistakes Manning didn't last week and the Texans will capitalize.
Scottie V's Pick: Houston, 24-23. The Texans bounce back after a disappointing outing in Indy last week.

Best Record Wins Pick: Houston, 20-17. Houston better at 4-3.
Home Team Wins Pick: Houston, 20-17
New York Giants at Seattle Seahawks
Creative Misfortune's Pick: New York, 27-13. New York's journey west will be rewarded with a victory over a team suddenly struggling to find its identity after being manhandled by the Raiders.
Scottie V's Pick: New York, 28-17. The Seahawks can't seem to find any consistency.
Vegas Lines Pick: New York, 24-17. New York by 6.5, Over/Under 41.
Accuscore Pick: New York, 27-10. New York 74% win confidence

Home Team Wins Pick: Seattle, 20-17
Kansas City Chiefs at Oakland Raiders
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Oakland, 17-14. The explosive Raiders come back to earth against a tough KC defense, but still gain the edge at home and win on a late Janikowski field goal.
Scottie V's Pick: Kansas City, 23-21. The Chiefs roll into Oaktown and cool off the red-hot Raiders.
Vegas Lines Pick: Oakland, 23-20. Oakland by 2.5, Over/Under 403.5.
Accuscore Pick: Oakland, 20-17. Oakland 53% win confidence

Best Record Wins Pick: Kansas City, 20-17. Kansas City better at 5-2.
Home Team Wins Pick: Oakland, 20-17
Indianapolis Colts at Philadelphia Eagles
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Indianapolis, 21-20. Manning has his bit players playing above their abilities and the Colt defense found a higher gear last week against Houston. Vick will give them fits, but his scrambling ability won't be enough for the Eagles to win at home.
Scottie V's Pick: Indianapolis, 27-16. The Colts know who they are and Philly still can't settle on a quarterback.
Vegas Lines Pick: Philadelphia, 26-21. Philadelphia by 3, Over/Under 46.5.
Accuscore Pick: Philadelphia, 14-13. Both teams at 50% win confidence, advantage home

Dallas Cowboys at Green Bay Packers
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Green Bay, 28-14. Green Bay is simply too strong on both sides of the ball for a Forked Dallas team to handle.
Scottie V's Pick: Green Bay, 34-14. Surely Wade Phillips won't make it past this week... Right?
Vegas Lines Pick: Green Bay, 30-17. Green Bay by 8, Over/Under 45.5.
Accuscore Pick: Green Bay, 28-9. Green Bay 78% win confidence
What If Sports Pick: Green Bay, 21-16. Green Bay won 3 of 5 simulations.

Home Team Wins Pick: Green Bay, 20-17
Monday Night Score Predictions:
Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals
