DpObliVion 10/18/17 8:39:07 PM #1:	After a good week for Level 4, we've got a lot of competition at the top level, with plenty of people still right behind. Bonus points rewarded last week for 6 teams winning by 10 points or more. 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). -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. 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: 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: 30+ or 10-: Pick one team to score 30 or more points, OR pick one team to score 10 or less points. You must clearly choose either 30+ or 10-. If you pick a team to score 30+, but they score 10-, you do not advance. Level 5: 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. Schedule: (home team in CAPS, favorites on the left) Thursday, October 19th Kansas City (-2.5) at OAKLAND Sunday, October 22nd Tennessee (-5.5) at CLEVELAND Jacksonville (-3.5) at INDIANAPOLIS PITTSBURGH (-5.5) vs Cincinnati MINNESOTA (-5.5) vs Baltimore MIAMI (-3.5) vs NY Jets Carolina (-3.5) at CHICAGO New Orleans (-5.5) at GREEN BAY LA RAMS (-3.5) vs Arizona BUFFALO vs Tampa Bay [no spread, check back later] Dallas (-6.5) at SAN FRANCISCO Seattle (-5.5) at NY GIANTS LA CHARGERS (-1.5) vs Denver NEW ENGLAND (-3.5) vs Atlanta Monday, October 23rd PHILADELPHIA (-4.5) vs Washington Bonus Question: Pick a quarterback to have at least two turnovers this week. --- LGM <cite>DpObliVion posted [p:888695531] in NFL Ladder...
