You physically cannot get the pacifist ending on your first try, so just play blind.

I actually don't know why I spoilered that when it's painfully obvious what I mean for anyone that's played the game.

Final regular week and I love how I promised to do Thursday Night's game yesterday then didn't post. Only to remember today there's no TNF/MNF on the final week. Ah well.

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 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).
-Please post the spreads with your picks, it makes it much easier for me.
-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. (No skipping this week, since final week)

Games:
Titans (-3.5) @ TEXANS - 45.5
Browns (-2.5) @ BENGALS - 44.5
VIKINGS (-1.5) v Bears - 37.5
Colts (-3.5) @ JAGUARS - 43.5
BUCCANEERS (-1.5) v Falcons - 47.5
COWBOYS (-10.5) v Redskins - 45.5
Saints (-12.5) @ PANTHERS - 46.5
Eagles (-4.5) @ GIANTS - 45.5
Steelers (-1.5) @ RAVENS - 37.5
BILLS (-1.5) v Jets - 36.5
PATRIOTS (-15.5) v Dolphins - 44.5
Packers (-12.5) @ LIONS - 43.5
CHIEFS (-8.5) v Chargers - 44.5
RAMS (-4.5) v Cardinals - 45.5
49ers (-3.5) @ SEAHAWKS - 46.5
BRONCOS (-3.5) v Raiders - 40.5

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: 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 don't get that one correct.

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.

Level 8: 5 Game Teaser: This is the opposite of level 6. Instead of losing 6 points on each spread, you actually gain 6 points on each spread. But you have to get all 5 games right to move on. So a team favored by 9.5 will now only have to win by 3.5, a team that is getting 2.5 points will now be getting 8.5 points.

TIEBREAKER: This is where the bonus points you have acquired throughout the season come into play. For every bonus point you have, you may attempt a level you have previously passed. You can only "redeem" each bonus point once, but you may spread them out however you choose amongst the remaining weeks. You cannot attempt the same level more than once in the same week (although you can attempt similar levels with the same pick, i.e. Level 3 and Level 6). For each level you pass, you will get points equal to the level number passed (i.e. if you submit a Level 4 pick and get it right, that's 4 points). The total accumulation of these points will be the tiebreaker between anyone tied at the highest level at the end of the season.

No bonus point since there's nothing to do with one if someone gets it, obviously. So...
I've finally added the skip option, how has it been? Does it seem too simple, or was it a good rule change?

I poked my head on Steam mobile to check if my Santa gifts came in and saw a total of 8 things and nearly did a spittake of the water I was drinking. Thank you @LOLIAmAnAlt .

He mostly went off my wishlist, but tapped somewhat into it for some interests. I'm not normally the biggest bullet hell person, but I'm learning to enjoy at least a few.

The eXceed Collection (all three, which he said he was originally only going to get the 3rd game)
Suguri Collection (both Suguri games)
DungeonUP
Superdimension Neptune vs SEGA Hard Girls
Mysterious Realms RPG
Mind Reflection: Inside the Black Mirror Puzzle
Out of the Park Baseball 20 (yay, now I can actually make a contending Mariners team unlike fucking Dipoto)
and finally, the Nyakuza DLC for A Hat in Time.

Whew. Again, thank you. Insane haul. You really outdid yourself.

Once again not too many movements, but @Runemistress with a fantastic one. Devonte Freeman for rushing TD because of knowing the Jaguars' weakness against the run game. I'm someone that knew about that and still wouldn't have gone for him, probably going for Mixon vs Dolphins instead (and thus getting that wrong, not knowing that he was a sick boi).

So I'm an idiot. Seahawks/Packers was the Bye on Sunday night of last week because the Saints had not played yet.

So at the time it would have been Packers/Saints as Saints held TB over Seattle. I originally was going to give a bunch of TB points out for people who guessed Saints right, until I actually checked the playoff picture again (and realized that's helping people that thought Packers would lose according to what I thought would happen). Now, this was me forgetting that the 49ers were actually still tied with them both (and hold H2Hs against both). And of course any Seahawk picker picked that they'd still have the division regardless.

I'm sorry for throwing off a lot of you and having you pick Seattle with someone else, but GB/NO would have been wrong too, so no like special bonus points will be given out. I'm gonna go finish this update now, and I'm probably going to post the new topic on Thursday instead of Wednesday since spending Christmas with people. I will still post the spreads and stuff for this game in here tomorrow that way people who will be busy on Thursday and not have time before the game to make game picks, but I should get the topic up long before the game starts, since I don't have work that day.

Oh wow, didn't know it was your favorite of all time. I personally haven't played it, I was thinking of trying it through my usual means, but I feel like it's not the game I'd stick onto without an audience, so I pitched the idea of playing it on the board but didn't really get a response during the "B8 favorite games" thing.

Maybe eventually.

I do promise to get my gifts out as soon as Steam actually lets me send them out.

Getting closer to the end, and finally we have a race. Better spend those tiebreaker points to give yourself at least something ahead of the other guys around you.

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 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).
-Please post the spreads with your picks, it makes it much easier for me.
-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.

Games:
49ERS (-6.5) v Rams - 44.5
PATRIOTS (-6.5) v Bills - 37.5
Texans (-2.5) @ BUCCANEERS - 50.5
BRONCOS (-6.5) v Lions - 38.5
CHARGERS (-6.5) v Raiders - 45.5
FALCONS (-7.5) v Jaguars - 46.5
Saints (-2.5) @ TITANS - 50.5
REDSKINS (-1.5) v Giants - 41.5
Steelers (-3.5) v Jets - 37.5
Bengals (-0.5) @ DOLPHINS - 45.5 (wow, it's a pick 'em in most casinos, but it's becoming Cin favored in others)
COLTS (-6.5) v Panthers - 46.5
Ravens (-9.5) @ BROWNS - 48.5
Cowboys (-1.5) @ Eagles - 45.5
SEAHAWKS (-9.5) v Cardinals - 50.5
Chiefs (-5.5) @ BEARS - 44.5
VIKINGS (-5.5) v Packers - 46.5

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: 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 don't get that one correct.

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.

Level 8: 5 Game Teaser: This is the opposite of level 6. Instead of losing 6 points on each spread, you actually gain 6 points on each spread. But you have to get all 5 games right to move on. So a team favored by 9.5 will now only have to win by 3.5, a team that is getting 2.5 points will now be getting 8.5 points.

TIEBREAKER: This is where the bonus points you have acquired throughout the season come into play. For every bonus point you have, you may attempt a level you have previously passed. You can only "redeem" each bonus point once, but you may spread them out however you choose amongst the remaining weeks. You cannot attempt the same level more than once in the same week (although you can attempt similar levels with the same pick, i.e. Level 3 and Level 6). For each level you pass, you will get points equal to the level number passed (i.e. if you submit a Level 4 pick and get it right, that's 4 points). The total accumulation of these points will be the tiebreaker between anyone tied at the highest level at the end of the season.

So many games potentially deciding playoffs in the NFC right now, so while I'm tempted to make a joke bonus, I'll do this serious one.
Bonus: Which two teams have the NFC Bye after this week (for info, right now it's Seahawks/Packers, just so if you think Packers win you don't put the Saints in their place)

Also, joke bonus (so no points): Will Terrell Suggs actually play a snap for the Chiefs this weekend?

New England Patriots @ Cincinnati Bengals LOCK
Bengals definitely are not good enough to upset things here.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Detroit Lions
I have faith in Blough, albeit a little, to show why Buccs have such a bad Pass D, with how he's played.

Chicago Bears @ Green Bay Packers
December Packers in Green Bay.

Houston Texans @ Tennessee Titans
Uphill surge vs downhill one, and the uphill is in its home.

Denver Broncos @ Kansas City Chiefs
Chiefs should be fine, they just beat a team which is regarded as having a tougher secondary.

Miami Dolphins @ New York Giants
I don't trust the Dolphins anymore, and I don't trust the Giants to keep jobbing.

Philadelphia Eagles @ Washington Redskins
Without Guice and while Haskins still seems unready, I don't see them winning.

Seattle Seahawks @ Carolina Panthers
Even with the injuries, Kyle Allen doesn't look like the QB that can fully exploit the weaknesses.

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Oakland Raiders
Raiders have seemed to forget what their offense is supposed to look like with Jacobs being hurt. I don't think they destroy the run game which is what Jaguars lose to.

Cleveland Browns @ Arizona Cardinals
Cardinals don't have a defense to punish the Browns. Especially after cutting a major veteran and having literally no excuse for doing so, while holding onto and still attempting to utilize two players that have fallen off hard.

Minnesota Vikings @ Los Angeles Chargers
Vikings are still really tough and Rivers isn't playing up to par.

Los Angeles Rams @ Dallas Cowboys LOCK
lolCowboys

Atlanta Falcons @ San Francisco 49ers LOCK
Easy Kittle Game.

Buffalo Bills @ Pittsburgh Steelers
Steelers aren't going to pop off with minor players, but they might score a few times.

Indianapolis Colts @ New Orleans Saints
Brees at home will shut down Colts chances to take the division.

So fun fact about this update, like usual I went in expecting some nomination I tossed in to win because I still get stuff I really like in each update, but, as it turns out someone major was nominated. So my girlfriend got obsessed with doing 3x3 collages with different themes, and one was bosses, so I chose to do two, one for final bosses, and one for regular ones. As someone who doesn't have the greatest variety of games, my final bosses actually managed to get... well...

I think Johnny Bravo in particular makes me wanna guess Single's Awareness Day. But he was a part of a bunch of Cartoon Network people so that shuts it a little down (though all of the others were also single for a majority of their show, Levin obviously had someone in the grown up version of the show). There were also some Hunie characters. I don't really have any other clues, or clues to other holidays.

I apologize to anyone that wanted to pick TNF and was not able to due to my lateness, I did have 3 people that did do picks already so I will post those myself after the normal intros.

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 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).
-Please post the spreads with your picks, it makes it much easier for me.
-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.

Games:
No TNF because late ass me
Buccaneers (-3.5) @ LIONS - 46.5
Eagles (-4.5) @ REDSKINS - 39.5
PACKERS (-4.5) v Bears - 40.5
Patriots (-9.5) @ BENGALS - 41.5
TITANS (-3.5) v Texans - 50.5
Seahawks (-6.5) @ PANTHERS - 48.5
CHIEFS (-9.5) v Broncos - 45.5
GIANTS (-3.5) v Dolphins - 46.5
STEELERS (-2.5) v Bills - 36.5
RAIDERS (-6.5) v Jaguars - 45.5
Browns (-2.5) @ CARDINALS - 48.5
49ERS (-10.5) v Falcons - 47.5
Rams (-1.5) v COWBOYS - 48.5
Vikings (-1.5) @ CHARGERS - 45.5
SAINTS (-8.5) v Colts - 46.5

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: 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 don't get that one correct.

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.

Level 8: 5 Game Teaser: This is the opposite of level 6. Instead of losing 6 points on each spread, you actually gain 6 points on each spread. But you have to get all 5 games right to move on. So a team favored by 9.5 will now only have to win by 3.5, a team that is getting 2.5 points will now be getting 8.5 points.

TIEBREAKER: This is where the bonus points you have acquired throughout the season come into play. For every bonus point you have, you may attempt a level you have previously passed. You can only "redeem" each bonus point once, but you may spread them out however you choose amongst the remaining weeks. You cannot attempt the same level more than once in the same week (although you can attempt similar levels with the same pick, i.e. Level 3 and Level 6). For each level you pass, you will get points equal to the level number passed (i.e. if you submit a Level 4 pick and get it right, that's 4 points). The total accumulation of these points will be the tiebreaker between anyone tied at the highest level at the end of the season.

Would've had a Lamar question if he wasn't playing tonight, damn.
Bonus: We always have people on the offensive side of the ball have fun, how about this? Name a player to record a sack a QB this week (full sack, no assisted thing).

Thank you, you three. I will input them in the new topic after I am able to post them. For anyone active, if you want to pick in this game for Spread/OverUnder, those are:

RAVENS (-16.5) vs Jets - 43.5

I'll get new topic up as soon as I can, sorry that I didn't yesterday, was just too busy after work.

Again not many bonus questions were correct, but honestly it was the same mistakes made when people pick on that level. Best teams instead of Good teams vs bad ones. The two correct answers that were picked were Titans (HBJ, Lefty, and... sorry forgot who the third was already, I did give that person a point though) and Buccs (Me alone). Other potential teams were: Bears (unlikely pick for anyone, even I saw them winning but not 31-24), Chargers, Falcons, Broncos (probably not gettable), Saints/49ers (whew), and Colts (honestly gettable if you thought they were going to win).

Double check yourself, of course, pretty sure I didn't miss anything. Good attempts at Level 7, but sadly we had two people with players picked that each had 1 TD each. Including Para for the second week in a row, unlucky.

Tiebreaker Level 4: Packers/Redskins 10+

@Paratroopa1 It's actually 2 picks for Level 4. Since you've already made the original pick, it's fine to pick SNF/MNF until their games, in case you miss deadline for afternoon games.
