Easy tiebreaker was easy. So much offense.

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.

Schedule: (Favorites listed first; home team in CAPS)
Thursday, October 4th
NEW ENGLAND (-10.5) vs Indianapolis

Sunday, October 7th
Baltimore (-2.5) at CLEVELAND
KANSAS CITY (-3.5) vs Jacksonville
Tennessee (-3.5) at BUFFALO
CAROLINA (-6.5) vs NY Giants
NY JETS (-1.5) vs Denver
PITTSBURGH (-3.5) vs Atlanta
Green Bay (-1.5) at DETROIT
CINCINNATI (-6.5) vs Miami
LA CHARGERS (-5.5) vs Oakland
SAN FRANCISCO (-4.5) vs Arizona
PHILADELPHIA (-3.5) vs Minnesota
LA Rams (-7.5) at SEATTLE
HOUSTON (-3.5) vs Dallas

Monday, October 8th
NEW ORLEANS (-6.5) vs Washington

Bonus Question: How many completions will it take for Drew Brees to break the record for all-time passing yards? (He needs 201 yards. Bonus points awarded for guesses within two completions of the correct answer, i.e. a guess of 12 would be a range of 10-14. You may choose to pick that he will fail to break the record this week.)

Change Cowboys -3.5/Broncos +1.5 to Patriots -10.5/Broncos +1.5

Literally just put a 15 on NE in spread should kind of have them here too.

Change bonus to 15
