The bye weeks have ended and now there are even more opportunities to mess up the picks! Can the Vegas Picks and Accuscore systems maintain their prediction leads or will they start to stumble as the playoff races heat up? If their predictions for the Thursday Night game are any indication of their future success, they might be in trouble.
Thursday Night Game Result:
Chicago Bears at Miami Dolphins
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Chicago, 20-17. The Bears believe in themselves, even if nobody else does. On a short week against Tyler Thigpen, they should be able to steal a victory in South Florida.
Scottie V's Pick: Miami, 24-17. I still don't buy the Bears.
Vegas Lines Pick: Miami, 21-19. Miami by 1.5, Over/Under 40.
Accuscore Pick: Miami, 20-17. Miami 53% win confidence
What If Sports Pick: Chicago, 20-17. Chicago won 2 of 5 simulations.
Best Record Wins Pick: Chicago, 20-17. Chicago better at 6-3.
Home Team Wins Pick: Miami, 20-17
The swarming Bears defense completely shut down the Dolphins, allowing a mere 187 yards of total offense. Chicago forced Tyler Thigpen to try and win the game on his own after the Dolphins running backs combined for just 12 yards rushing. Thigpen himself had over twice that much. Despite the total dud of a game, Chicago shows they just might be for real, even if none of their wins so far have exhibited the same flash and style of other elite NFL teams. With a mixed bag of predictions, Creative Misfortune, What If Sports and blindly picking the team with the best record all come up winners.
Sunday Game Score Predictions:
Buffalo Bills at Cincinnati Bengals
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Cincinnati, 27-20. When the stoppable force hits the moveable object, Cincinnati's garbage time offense will roll at home.
Scottie V's Pick: Cincinnati, 23-20. The Bills winning streak stops at one game as TO surges.
Vegas Lines Pick: Cincinnati, 26-20. Cincinnati by 5.5, Over/Under 44.

Detroit Lions at Dallas Cowboys
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Dallas, 27-17. Rejuvenated and suddenly remembering how to play, Dallas will win at home and keep their faint, non-existent playoff hopes alive.
Scottie V's Pick: Dallas, 27-21. I must say I was really surprised at the Cowboy turnaround last week... It should continue this week at home with the Lions coming to town.

Washington Redskins at Tennessee Titans
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Tennessee, 23-17. The Redskins quit last week until they realized they might go down in history as beaten chumps. Their downward spiral continues when they travel to face an angry Titans team.
Scottie V's Pick: Tennessee, 24-16. Wow, just when you thought the Cowboys were the biggest mess in the NFL... Hello, Washington!

Arizona Cardinals at Kansas City Chiefs
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Kansas City, 26-10. The Chiefs are suddenly in a fight out in the West and will lose all credibility if they fall at home to the Cardinals.
Scottie V's Pick: Kansas City, 31-17. The Chiefs bounce back from their shellacking in Denver last week... Arizona is a bad football team.

Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Green Bay, 27-24. Green Bay makes good on the opportunity to both banish the fading, purple-colored Brett Favre from their collective psyche and knock their division rivals out of playoff contention.
Scottie V's Pick: Green Bay, 27-14. Speaking of bad football teams... The Vikes are a swiftly sinking ship.

Home Team Wins Pick: Minnesota, 20-17
Houston Texans at New York Jets
Creative Misfortune's Pick: New York, 26-21. Houston's playoff hopes may have died after last week's Hail Mary. Traveling to New York will not resurrect their season.
Scottie V's Pick: New York, 20-16. Houston is still reeling from the batted Hail Mary from last week... The Jets don't offer any sympathy
Vegas Lines Pick: New York, 28-20. New York by 7, Over/Under 46.
Accuscore Pick: New York, 24-13. NY Jets 66% win confidence
What If Sports Pick: New York, 27-17. New York won 4 of 5 simulations.

Baltimore Ravens at Carolina Panthers
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Baltimore, 31-10. The Ravens are rested and angry.
Scottie V's Pick: Baltimore, 24-10. Carolina is a bad football team right now.

Best Record Wins Pick: Baltimore, 20-17. Baltimore better at 6-3.
Home Team Wins Pick: Carolina, 20-17
Cleveland Browns at Jacksonville Jaguars
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Cleveland, 23-14. The Browns have held their own against some of the league's best teams. They break through for another win against a Jaguars team still riding the emotional high from last week's miracle toss.
Scottie V's Pick: Jacksonville, 23-17. This should be an interesting game... I'm giving the home team the nod.
Vegas Lines Pick: Jacksonville, 23-21. Jacksonville by 1.5, Over/Under 44.

Home Team Wins Pick: Jacksonville, 20-17
Oakland Raiders at Pittsburgh Steelers
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Pittsburgh, 17-14. The Steelers can't drop two straight at home, can they? CAN THEY?
Scottie V's Pick: Pittsburgh, 24-14. The Steelers are too good to drop 2 in a row at home.
Vegas Lines Pick: Pittsburgh, 26-17. Pittsburgh by 7, Over/Under 41.5.
Accuscore Pick: Pittsburgh, 24-10. Pittsburgh 68% win confidence

Home Team Wins Pick: Pittsburgh, 20-17
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at San Francisco 49ers
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Tampa Bay, 28-24. The Bucs are rolling and the 49ers are just self-destructive enough for Tampa Bay to win one on the road.
Scottie V's Pick: San Francisco, 20-17. With Troy Smith at the helm, the 49ers seem a much more confident bunch.
Vegas Lines Pick: San Francisco, 24-20. San Francisco by 3.5, Over/Under 41.5.
Accuscore Pick: San Francisco, 17-16. San Francisco 51% win confidence

Home Team Wins Pick: San Francisco, 20-17
Seattle Seahawks at New Orleans Saints
Creative Misfortune's Pick: New Orleans, 34-17. The Saints defense will give Seattle more than it can handle and the Saints offense will light up the scoreboard for the home crowd.
Scottie V's Pick: New Orleans, 30-14. Too much firepower, a bye week, and homefield advantage are too much overcome for the 'Hawks.
Vegas Lines Pick: New Orleans, 28-16. New Orleans by 11.5, Over/Under 44.
Accuscore Pick: New Orleans, 31-3. New Orleans 87% win confidence

Home Team Wins Pick: New Orleans, 20-17
Atlanta Falcons at St. Louis Rams
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Atlanta, 27-13. The Falcons are playing like one of the best teams in the league now. The best teams in the league don't lose when they travel to St. Louis.
Scottie V's Pick: Atlanta, 24-17. The Rams are looking better, but are not up to beating a quality Falcons team at home.
Vegas Lines Pick: Atlanta, 24-20. Atlanta by 3, Over/Under 43.
Accuscore Pick: Atlanta, 23-16. Atlanta 61% win confidence
What If Sports Pick: Atlanta, 21-20. Atlanta won 3 of 5 simulations.

Home Team Wins Pick: St. Louis, 20-17
Indianapolis Colts at New England Patriots
Creative Misfortune's Pick: New England, 28-24. I hate picking a winner in this game, because it could go either way quite easily, but New England has to be given the edge at home.
Scottie V's Pick: New England, 27-24. Much as I hate to admit it, the Pats are operating on all cylinders.
Vegas Lines Pick: New England, 27-23. New England by 3.5, Over/Under 50.
Accuscore Pick: New England, 21-16. New England 60% win confidence

New York Giants at Philadelphia Eagles
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Philadelphia, 27-24. There won't be any let down for the Eagles as they see a perfect opportunity to snag the outright division lead from the Giants.
Scottie V's Pick: Philadelphia, 24-21. Could be the game of the week... The Giants need a win after their surprise loss to the Cowboys and the Eagles are riding high after Vick's insane performance on Monday night
Vegas Lines Pick: Philadelphia, 26-21. Philadelphia by 3.5, Over/Under 48.
Accuscore Pick: Philadelphia, 23-14. Philadelphia 63% win confidence
What If Sports Pick: Philadelphia, 17-14. Philadelphia won 3 of 5 simulations.
Best Record Wins Pick: Philadelphia, 20-17. Both teams at 6-3, advantage home.
Home Team Wins Pick: Philadelphia, 20-17
Monday Night Score Prediction:
Denver Broncos at San Diego Chargers
Creative Misfortune's Pick: San Diego, 37-31. The Chargers come out of the bye week knowing they still have a chance to win the division. Fully rested and playing at home, Denver won't have a shot, unless San Diego's special teams give the game to them.
Scottie V's Pick: San Diego, 27-20. I'm still thinking last week's performance by the Broncos was a fluke... SD gets the edge at home.
Vegas Lines Pick: San Diego, 31-20. San Diego by 9.5, Over/Under 50.5.
Accuscore Pick: San Diego, 31-6. San Diego 84% win confidence
