Predictions of Creative Misfortune - Week 12 - Thanksgiving Games

Turkey Day is here! Feasts and football! What more could you want?

Thanksgiving Game Score Predictions:

New England Patriots at Detroit Lions
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: New England, 27-21. The Patriots efficiency on offense will make up for their defense allowing multiple Touchdowns to Calvin Johnson.
     Scottie V's Pick: New England, 27-17. The Lions get their annual Thanksgiving-Day helping of defeat at the hands of the red-hot Patriots.
     Vegas Lines Pick: New England, 30-21. New England by 7, Over/Under 50.5.
     Accuscore Pick: New England, 28-9. New England 78% win confidence
     What If Sports Pick: New England, 28-17. New England won 4 of 5 simulations.
     Best Record Wins Pick: New England, 20-17. New England better at 8-2.
     Home Team Wins Pick: Detroit, 20-17

New Orleans Saints at Dallas Cowboys
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: New Orleans, 27-17. Dallas won last year in a game they had to have against a Saints team that didn't need the figure. The roles are reversed this week and if the Cowboys had enough pride to win this game, they wouldn't be sitting at 3-7 now.
     Scottie V's Pick: New Orleans, 31-21. Jason Garrett gets his first loss as the Saints roll into town.
     Vegas Lines Pick: New Orleans, 28-24. New Orleans by 3.5, Over/Under 50.5.
     Accuscore Pick: New Orleans, 24-13. New Orleans 66% win confidence
     What If Sports Pick: New Orleans, 23-21. New Orleans won 3 of 5 simulations.
     Best Record Wins Pick: New Orleans, 20-17. New Orleans better at 7-3.
     Home Team Wins Pick: Dallas, 20-17

Cincinnati Bengals at New York Jets
     Creative Misfortune's Pick: New York, 35-21. The Jets should be able to put this game away long before the fourth quarter starts, but the Bengals' vaunted gaarbage time offense will make the final score closer than it should be.
     Scottie V's Pick: New York, 23-13. Stupid Jets. It pained me to see them sneak away with wins the last two weeks... This one should come easier for them.
     Vegas Lines Pick: New York, 27-17. New York by 8.5, Over/Under 43.5.
     Accuscore Pick: NY Jets, 27-10. NY Jets 74% win confidence
     What If Sports Pick: NY Jets, 20-9. NY Jets won 4 of 5 simulations.
     Best Record Wins Pick: New York, 20-17. New York better at 8-2.
     Home Team Wins Pick: New York, 20-17
