The Steelers and Patriots were both heavily picked in Week 1, but only one of them won, leaving quite a large number still on Level 1. There were no overtime games, probably because MIA/TB got postponed. Let's get on to Week 2.

A few ground rules:
-Please say which level you are on when you post your pick. In most cases it will probably be obvious, but this makes it easier for me to record the picks.
-The deadline to make a pick is at the start of the second set of games on Sunday afternoon (4:25 PM ET). That means no SNF/MNF picks after most all the games have started or finished. You cannot pick a game that has already started.
-The deadline to answer the bonus question is at the start of games on Sunday (1 PM ET).

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.

Schedule: (home team in CAPS, favorites on the left)
Thursday, September 14th
CINCINNATI vs Houston

Sunday, September 17th
Tennessee at JACKSONVILLE
BALTIMORE vs Cleveland
CAROLINA vs Buffalo
New England at NEW ORLEANS
Arizona at INDIANAPOLIS
KANSAS CITY vs Philadelphia
PITTSBURGH vs Minnesota
TAMPA BAY vs Chicago
LA CHARGERS vs Miami
OAKLAND vs NY Jets
LA RAMS vs Washington
Dallas at DENVER
SEATTLE vs San Francisco
ATLANTA vs Green Bay

Monday, September 18th
NY GIANTS vs Detroit

Bonus Question: How many road teams will win this week?

When my last desktop needed replacing, I don't know, four or five years ago, I got this laptop and hooked my desktop monitor up to it for a two-monitor setup that was pretty great. However I eventually ran into overheating issues with my laptop and had to ditch the two-monitor setup. Having the laptop has been great for portability, but I really want to get back to a desktop soon for the performance, stability, bigger screen, et cetera. Preferably while my current laptop is still running reasonably well so I still have that for portability.

I've never built before but that's the route I want to go. I've messed around inside computers a bit in the past on a smaller scale and feel confident I can handle it well enough. After being strictly a console gamer all my life, I have been mostly PC gaming the last couple years as I haven't felt like getting a PS4, and my laptop, especially with overheating concerns, is limited there. But maybe more importantly, I want some big storage space and processing power for my photography. The software I have for processing my photos runs really poorly on this laptop which discourages me from even using it often. I'm sure just getting a newer laptop with better specs could solve that, but I still want that dedicated desktop.

Okay, so you can talk. And you can rap. You could probably even speak in haiku if you wanted. But in the ring, your best fighting days are long gone. You're a has-been, desperate to change that image before it gets cemented as the UCA finishes.

So keep talking, Solio. It's what you do best. Keep twisting the facts in your favor, when in reality, I carried this company on my back after you left it to rot. I was the reason the fans came to the arenas. You tried, but when I beat you again and again, you fled to the shadows. You're nothing now. I'm the MELEE MAYHEM champion. I am the greatest champion of all time.

I really don't like these choices this week. Pittsburgh should win easily, but I'm scared of picking there. I refuse to touch NYJ/BUF. No other real obvious home team picks.

Falcons

The self-proclaimed "greatest champion of all time" versus the actual, proven Greatest Champion of All Time. It's almost unfair that this is a Promo Challenge. I've had the recent domination of Solio in the ring, but maybe with some momentum on his side and the fighting spirit right now, he could've put up a competitive match and had a chance.

But a war of words? What's he gonna do? Rave about his shallow accomplishments that pale in comparison to mine? Talk about how he dominated me years ago? No, he's gonna have to come up with something fresh to renew this rivalry.

So bring it on, Solio. You talked a big game, and went over your head going after what you perceived to be the bigger challenge, but failed in your attempt against david. Prove to me that you're worthy of getting back in the ring with me. There may just be a rematch in your future.

I'm sorry, I cannot focus right now and have come up with different tallies for time egg vs apollo/steiner every time I've done it. Can someone confirm if we did in fact tie or if we won 7-6?

I count 7-6 in your favor with your vote where you didn't vote for anything else, so that's probably what you were missing.

Cool, thanks! And actually one I've been meaning to play at some point, will finally play TWD. Pain in the ass to get it though, had to go through like 18 steps including creating an account and linking it to my Steam account which was pretty annoying, but free is free.

Nope, I picked it at 1, and then it removed the game and left the other points the same while kicking out the 16. So, be aware, anyone who picked previously, that your 16-point game probably had its point value cancelled out and you need to go back and slide everything down.
