I go normal probably 90% of the time for a first playthrough. Sometimes I'll crank it up if it's a series or genre I'm confident in. If there are achievements I'll usually just go straight into the hardest difficulty

Occasionally games wont have stackable difficulty trophies and I'll play on easy for that, but it's pretty uncommon. Sometimes I'll play NG+ on easy for speed if it's going to be a cakewalk either way. Otherwise, I don't think I ever choose easy except in rhythm games sometimes when I'm first starting out

Rivera has essentially created a QB controversy in Washington by completely failing to commit to a starting QB going forward.

This isn't hard, Ron.

It is when you have to pay a guy 30 million to sit on the bench

Do you work ridiculously long hours too? I hear a lot of teachers do. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be a very viable long-term career option

Seven years is a long time. I think most people leave within 3-5 years or end up staying forever. It'll probably be hard to adjust to life in the US again, not to mention moving to the opposite coast (I'm assuming you're from California). I hope it all works out for you though!

Fuck I misread the bonus question.

Either way, taking Ls left and right here

I'll probably give you the bonus point because it seems clear to me what you were going for, and you took the Giants in the pick em topic

How are we defining "know" here? I didn't recognize Everybody Wants to Rule the World or Dreams by the title, but after looking them up on YouTube I think I've heard part of them before. Definitely never the full song though

A few ground rules:
-Please say which level you are on when you post your pick. In most cases it will be obvious, but this makes it easier for me to record the picks.
-The deadline to make a pick is before the official kick-off time of the game in question. You cannot pick a game that has already started. Some levels may have different deadlines, so read carefully.
-The deadline to answer the bonus question is at the start of games on Sunday (1 PM ET).
-Please don't edit your picks. If you'd like to change, please do so in a clearly labeled new post.
-I get my spreads from an online site providing lines from several sources, both in Vegas and out. Although these sources may continue to change their lines throughout the week, the ones I post in the topic are frozen and final for our purposes.
-You may use bonus points to skip any level after it is guaranteed you cannot pass it (at the end of the week's games, typically). You may only skip the level before I have posted the next week's topic. The price for skipping is in proportion to the level you are skipping. Skipping level 1 would take 1 bonus point, level 2 will take 2, level 5 will take 5. So on and so forth.

Explanation of Levels:

Level 1: Pick a winner. Simply pick one team to win their game. If they win, you go on to level 2.

Level 2: Pick an Underdog to win. You must pick a team that is an underdog to win their game. Underdogs will always be the team listed second.

Level 3: Level 3: 2 Games with Spread. Using the spreads I provide, pick 2 games. You must get both correct to move on. Spreads work by giving (-) or getting (+) points. The team that is the favorite to win "gives" points to the underdog. If you choose the favorite to win, they must still win after "giving" those points to the underdog. If you choose the underdog, you would be correct if they win the game after "getting" those points. For example, if a game says "Giants (-2.5) vs. Cowboys," if you pick the Giants, they must actually win the game by at least three points; if you pick the Cowboys, you would win if they actually won the game or lost by two points or less.

Level 4: 2 Game differentials. Pick two games and specify them to have a score differential of either 10+ or 5-. Make sure to specify which you pick, if you pick a score to be 10+ and the score ends up 3 apart, you do not advance. You do not need to pick the winner, as long as the differential is correct, it does not matter which team wins.

Level 5: 2 Over/Unders: I will now provide over/unders for each game. This number relates to the final score. You must choose 2 of the games and decide whether the final score will be OVER the number I provided or UNDER the number I provided. You must get both of these correct to advance.

Level 6: Pleaser: Pick one team to win using the spread, but with the pleaser, you lose 6 points on the spread. In other words, add six points in whichever direction makes it harder to win. For example, a (-2.5) spread becomes (-8.5), a (+3.5) becomes a (-2.5) spread, etc.

Level 7: QB, RB, WR: Pick 1 player to throw a touchdown pass, 1 player to rush for a touchdown, and 1 player to catch a touchdown pass. They must all be from different teams, and must also combine for at least 4 touchdowns in their respective positions. Typically you will be picking a QB, RB, and WR, but you may pick players from other positions to fill those roles (i.e. a TE or RB to get a receiving touchdown). You must make it clear what role you are picking the players for if it is not the standard QB/RB/WR or QB/RB/TE. If the player gets a touchdown in a different way (i.e. your rusher getting a receiving touchdown), it does not count.
