Level 3
Browns +2.5
Rams - 7.5
Bonus: Yes

---

Lv.4:
Kansas City/Las Vegas 10+
Baltimore/Cincinnati 10+

Bonus: yes, because the rules explicitly state that the bonus deadline is 1PM ET on Sunday, and maybe you shouldn't make bonuses that you want to arbitrarily change the rules for mid-week

Level 3:
49ers -3.5

Bonus: Yes

---

Level 4: Cardinals/Jets 10+ and Seahawks/Vikings 5-

49ers(-3.5)

Bonus: yes

---

Level 3:
Panthers (+2.5)
Browns (+2.5)

Bonus: yes

---

Level 2:

Panthers

Bonus: I guess no more postponements? I think at this point everyone should just get a point and future bonus questions should have to do with the games themselves.

Hypothetical question but do I advance if the Raiders win by 10? I ended up picking teams instead of games so not sure if that Chiefs 10+ is going to count.

That said, I don't think it's going to matter by the end of the game.

---

I'm sure for all us Chiefs/Raiders 10+ pickers we all imagined the Raiders being the team up by more than 10...

It's always based on the game, rather than the specific team. I can't remember an exact situation, but someone did once succeed on a pick of picking 10+ on a team, but passed as the other team won by like 12 points.

I am fairly sure I got through level 4 that way last year. Picked 10+ on a match with a heavy favourite and the team I thought would win easily got smashed.

Level 3 here I come

Wow, I actually got through Level 3 on my first try.

---

If this is allowed since I already got my bonus right, I would like to skip level 3 and go to 4.

Made a note of it. You definitely have enough points for it.

---

I would also like to skip to level 4.

Regarding you, you're only allowed to skip after you've tried the level and failed, not immediately skipping once you reached the level. And even then you don't have the points to skip, since it's 4 bonus points to skip Level 4. Maybe at the end of next week you'll be able to.

Everyone who made a pick on Level 2 except for myself moved forward. The other three who were already on Level 2 and still are potentially won't pick again, at least a newcomer came to make sure I'm not lonely in my bad confidence of underdogs.

But for the more important thing, yeah, the bonus point was a badly worded affair that shouldn't happen again. I rushed myself to put up the topic and avoided looking for a good narrative to cover, while I'll probably find something good for this next week. I'll have the topic up late tonight again, similar to when it's been posted for the past few weeks. There's a few more people who can skip if they wish to.

40-32 is not a 10 point difference.
---

... I think I misread the score on Sunday. Time for a lot of fixings.

---

Oh wait I passed level 3? I thought I failed it for some reason. Go me!
---

@Mewtwo59 Thank you for the timely correction, I think I read it as 42-30 on Sunday, which likely was a situation of me being irritated at not seeing a couple upsets happening that I should have. Which means only stevr passes with his picks of Cards/Jets 10+ and Seahawks/Vikings 5-. I'll make sure to ping him with a good job in the next topic like I sometimes do.

And yes Stifled, you had Cards (-7.5) who won by 20 and Steelers (-7.5) who won by 9.

---

At least I was on level 5 for a second.

---

Anyway, as for bonus. The way I will deal with it is simple, your post must come before the announce of the delay. People can still pick the bonus, but if you pick yes now (and no new games get delayed between now and the end of this week) then you don't get the bonus. Anyone that has said yes after Ringworm's post does not count for either Patriots/Broncos or Titans/Bills, which have been both PPD. Of course, it doesn't count for anything that gets PPD next week either, in case something gets moved into TNF and then moved out of it due to a delay.

Wait I'm confused.

I normally like to make my picks day of just to double check for injuries and such, and didn't actually read this change.

---

It was something I poorly worded because of rushing to get the topic done. Thus it's something I'll avoid from hence forth. Now to actually get a Week 6 topic up. I decided not to make it in the middle of the night since we don't have Thursday football, so I'm safe posting it now.
