First things first....

Just an idea as an outside observer....

Have the first 4 or 5 levels (probably up to the high/low points one) be set for everyone, then let people do the remaining levels in any order they want. Everyone can choose their own path and attempt the more difficult levels in the order of their preference. If anybody gets "stuck" they can always attempt one of the other options. Also adds some strategy in deciding which order to go, or deciding week by week based on matchups. If nothing else, you'll likely learn how everybody ranks the difficulty of the levels, if you want to go back to a fixed order in the future. Or if it works, you could expand the order choice to cover all levels.


I'd like to know more people's opinion on this. It does kind of change the foundation of the contest, but I don't think that's really a problem.

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).

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.

When someone is giving you his opinion, you should receive it with deep gratitude even though it is worthless.

Why are Baltimore playing Vikings not the Bengals? Why are the Vikings the underdog?
