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 before the official kick-off time of the game in question. You cannot pick a game that has already started. Some levels may have different deadlines, so read carefully. -The deadline to answer the bonus question is at the start of games on Sunday (1 PM ET). -Please don't edit your picks. If you'd like to change, please do so in a clearly labeled new post. -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. 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: 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. Schedule: (Favorites listed first; home team in CAPS) Thursday, September 22nd CLEVELAND (-4.5) vs Pittsburgh Sunday, September 25th 1 PM ET New Orleans (-2.5) @ CAROLINA CHICAGO (-2.5) vs Houston Kansas City (-6.5) @ INDIANAPOLIS Buffalo (-5.5) @ MIAMI MINNESOTA (-5.5) vs Detroit Baltimore (-2.5) @ NEW ENGLAND Cincinnati (-4.5) @ NEW YORK JETS Las Vegas (-2.5) @ TENNESSEE Philadelphia (-6.5) @ WASHINGTON 4:05 PM LOS ANGELES CHARGERS (-6.5) vs Jacksonville 4:25 PM Los Angeles Rams (-3.5) @ ARIZONA SEATTLE (-1.5) vs Atlanta TAMPA BAY (-2.5) vs Green Bay 8:20 PM San Francisco (-1.5) @ DENVER Monday, September 26th 8:15 PM ET NEW YORK GIANTS (-2.5) vs Dallas (hey it's the example in the rules!)

No one made it to Level 3, as everyone picked the Steelers, Commanders, or Vikings, with a lone Panthers pick as well. DC correctly switched to the Jaguars, but then switched again to the Steelers. Oops This also means I looked up all those spreads from nothing. Dang it. Please let me know if anything looks off!

MZero posted... No one made it to Level 3Damn. I decided to give this comp a miss this year, as I quite often get stuck on Level 2 for weeks. Should have just used my Suicide picks here as well, I've tipped upsets both rounds so far (Bears Rd 1, Jags Rd 2). Because you had to look up those spreads for nothing, I'll do a fun pick with them and stick to my outsiders strategy from Suicide and say I would have picked the Jets (+4.5) and Titans (+2.5) this week. I am not entering the comp, it's not fair to do so, and I don't really expect to get these right anyway (I had to use bonus points to get through Level 3 last year from memory). Good luck everyone. Dallas and Atlanta seem the popular level 2 picks so far, which seem reasonable chances, but I have been sticking solely to home teams which is why I went for the Jets in Suicide, and had to back it up here. Not overly confident, but I don't like any of the home underdogs with any level of confidence this week. Jets have won 4 of 5 matches this year (including pre-season) and also beat the Bengals (1 of 5 this season) last year, so thought I'd give them some chance - I'd still probably tip the Bengals in Pickem if I was doing that. --- ~ Ringworm ~ Congrats to azuarc - Guru champion - GotD ...
