Rules:

1. Pick who you think is going to win each week. Please try to keep it in the order I have it in. I will be using ESPN to pull the game order this year, which is what I believe the other league uses.

2. You may have up to three LOCK's each week. These are your primary tiebreaker. If you use more than 3 locks only your first 3 locks will count. SUPER LOCKS, however, will always count as the first lock, regardless of order.

3. Picks must be made within 5 minutes of start time

4. Don't delete your post. Editing is fine as long as it's done by the deadline for each game

5. Correct locks earn you 10 tiebreaker points, incorrect locks are worth-10. If you don't make picks you earn -50 points.

6. Super locks may be used on the game of the week. Get it right for +20 or wrong for -20. Just put SUPER LOCK next to the game of the week. You may also use a regular lock on this game instead. Just omit the word 'SUPER"

7. Once during the season you may LOCK ALL. Just say LOCK ALL in your post, and you will lock every game. Each correct is worth +10, and each wrong is worth -10 (for up to +160 points in a 16 game week)

8. The player(s) who correctly lock every team (minus any teams that go winless) at least once will gain +320 tiebreaker points. If nobody manages to do this, then whoever correctly locks the most teams will get a bonus of +160 tiebreaker points

9. In some weeks (but not necessarily all) there will be a TRIPLE THREAT of games. If you get all three right, you earn 60 tiebreaker points, but if you get just ONE (or more) wrong, you lose 30 tiebreaker points. Any you get right will still be counted among teams locked correctly. Simply put TRIPLE THREAT instead of LOCK for the games you are choosing to use it.

10. I reserve the right to remove any player from the player list if they've missed picking at least 28 games.

11. Ties count as Ties unless you didn't pick, then they count as a loss.

12. I'll accept picks from other leagues, but limit it to one source. Picks from other sources must be submitted to me by Monday at 5:00 PM.

Congrats to myself, Buffy_Summers, crazyisgood, Crescent-Moon, Dancedreamer, MitsuruKirijo, Runemistress, SwiftyDC, and theawesomestevr for having the best week at 12-4! Good job!

Top left, Top Right, and bottom left are always sequential
Each box only contains ONE instance of a number from the box that proceeds it. The third set has an 8, thus eliminating 10. Therefore it must be 13.

I mean yeah I know that for most people this is not taken lightly, and they feel bad for doing this which is punishment enough, but getting to this situation at the first place shows ignorance (not including rape, of course, which is totally not the fault of the victim, also not including "accidents" like a condom breaking)

Buffalo Bills @ Denver Broncos
Bills just beat the Steelers. I think they can handle the Broncos.

Carolina Panthers @ Green Bay Packers
There's upset potential here, but I don't think it's enough.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Atlanta Falcons
No trust in the Falcons.

San Francisco 49ers @ Dallas Cowboys
49ers have been pretty good on the road this year. So I'll take them here.

Detroit Lions @ Tennessee Titans
I think Tennessee is better.

Houston Texans @ Indianapolis Colts
Colts are simply better.

New England Patriots @ Miami Dolphins
Patriots have not been good on the road this year.

Chicago Bears @ Minnesota Vikings
Vikings will find a way to mess this one up.

Seattle Seahawks @ Washington Football Team LOCK
Seahawks are an easy pick.

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Baltimore Ravens
Not the Jaguars.

New York Jets @ Los Angeles Rams LOCK
Not the Jets.

Philadelphia Eagles @ Arizona Cardinals
Eagles are one of the few teams this year not to be good on the road.

Kansas City Chiefs @ New Orleans Saints
Not going to bet against Mahomes.

Cleveland Browns @ New York Giants
Giants are about finished.

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cincinnati Bengals LOCK
No Joe Burrow should give Pittsburgh an easy game to bounce back on their feet.

The mobile "Sonic Forces" is one of those runner-esque race games that you play online against others, and you can unlock characters and buy boosts and junk, so it has an in-game currency you can buy more of, like a lot of games do now.

I guess my question is:

What adult is spending $99 on Sonic Forces?

Or are there a lot of millionaires kids who just LOVE this game? I mean my wife and I are doing okay financially, but we wouldn't spend $99 on in-game currency for our kids even if our salary quadrupled overnight. And we're not completely frugal, since we literally got each of our kids their own devices. So I just don't see who legitimately buys this kind of thing, rather than what they're spending $99 on. More so WHO is buying this other than little George?

How does a game like Sonic Forces have microtransactions that cost over $100?

Houston Texans @ Chicago Bears
Home Team advantage gives the Bears a slight edge here.

Dallas Cowboys @ Cincinnati Bengals
Two teams without their starting QB. Cowboys are in a better position.

Kansas City Chiefs @ Miami Dolphins
Always take the Chiefs.

Arizona Cardinals @ New York Giants
Just a gut feeling the Giants take it, and pave their path to the playoffs somehow.

Minnesota Vikings @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Both teams aren't what they should be, so I'm going with the one that's at home with Tom Brady.

Denver Broncos @ Carolina Panthers LOCK
Going with the home team. Not going with near enough of those this week as it is.

Tennessee Titans @ Jacksonville Jaguars
Like the Jets, the Jags will find a way to lose.

Indianapolis Colts @ Las Vegas Raiders
Raiders have been bad at home this year, so I'm going with the Colts here. This could cost them a playoff spot.

New York Jets @ Seattle Seahawks LOCK
The Jets could be up 40-0 at the end of the 3rd quarter, and I'd still make a bet on the Seahawks winning.

Green Bay Packers @ Detroit Lions
Green Bay all the way.

New Orleans Saints @ Philadelphia Eagles
Saints have a good streak going. Don't see it ended by the Eagles here.

Atlanta Falcons @ Los Angeles Chargers LOCK
Chargers have been really bad lately. Enough to fire their HC? Maybe.

Washington Football Team @ San Francisco 49ers
Tempted to pick Washington here, but I feel like I'm not picking enough home teams this week.

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Buffalo Bills
The loss to the nameless football team might have humbled the Steelers, but the Bills are still a very tough opponent.

Baltimore Ravens @ Cleveland Browns
Not placing much faith in either team here, and going with the home team.
