Last week: Bonus points for Kizer and Winston. Not much movement, although we had a few go up to Level 6.
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. Level 6: 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. Schedule: (home team in CAPS, favorites on the left) Thursday, October 26th BALTIMORE (-3.5) vs Miami Sunday, October 29th Minnesota (-9.5) at Cleveland [game played in London] NEW ORLEANS (-8.5) vs Chicago Atlanta (-4.5) at NY JETS TAMPA BAY (-2.5) vs Carolina PHILADELPHIA (-12.5) vs San Francisco BUFFALO (-2.5) vs Oakland CINCINNATI (-10.5) vs Indianapolis NEW ENGLAND (-7.5) vs LA Chargers SEATTLE (-5.5) vs Houston Dallas (-2.5) at WASHINGTON Pittsburgh (-2.5) at DETROIT Monday, October 30th KANSAS CITY (-7.5) vs Denver Bonus Question: How many players will rush for at least 100 yards this week? [Thursday game is included] --- LGM ... Copied to Clipboard!

Level 5 looking like a hard task this week. Speaking of, @DpObliVion is "No team" a valid level 5 pick if you think no team will cover the pleasers? Seems about as silly as picking a tie in pick'em, but my curiosity is dying to know after I see this line. --- Congratulations to BKSheikah, winner of the BYIG Guru Contest ... Copied to Clipboard!

To clarify, the bonus question pick does not have to be in by tonight's kickoff. I just threw in there that the Thursday game was included because there was some confusion at times earlier in the season whether it was included or not, but I seem to have just shifted the confusion in the other direction. Sorry!
