Okay, so the "open world" concept sounds like a no-go. I could still be looking into maybe adding in an easier level around Level 5 or making some later levels easier (over/unders can probably go down to two instead of three, IMO).

Last week saw a lot of upsets, which was good for Level 2, not so good for Level 1, and definitely pretty bad for the bonus.

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.

Schedule:
(Favorites listed first; home team in CAPS)
Thursday, September 20th
CLEVELAND (-3.5) vs NY Jets

Sunday, September 23rd
PHILADELPHIA (-6.5) vs Indianapolis
CAROLINA (-2.5) vs Cincinnati
JACKSONVILLE (-6.5) vs Tennessee
ATLANTA (-3.5) vs New Orleans
BALTIMORE (-5.5) vs Denver
HOUSTON (-6.5) vs NY Giants
MIAMI (-3.5) at Oakland
Green Bay (-2.5) at WASHINGTON
MINNESOTA (-16.5) vs Buffalo
KANSAS CITY (-6.5) vs San Francisco
LA RAMS (-7.5) vs LA Chargers
Chicago (-5.5) at ARIZONA
SEATTLE (-1.5) vs Dallas
New England (-6.5) at DETROIT

Monday, September 24th
Pittsburgh (-1.5) at TAMPA BAY

Bonus Question: Pick any three starting quarterbacks and rank them in order of passing yards they will have this week, from most to least. You must get the entire order correct. All selected quarterbacks must start their game. You must pick all three at once, you cannot make a partial pick to complete later.

Dang, last week was the week to be on Level 2, before Vegas figures out all these teams. I guess for now I'll go

Level 2 - New Orleans Saints

...although it is tempting to ride the Bucs. Might change tomorrow.
