Ah, sorry for lateness, had a lot to do today. We had a lot of pickers to believe both Patriots and Cowboys would absolutely murder their opponents (Jets/Dolphins respectively), and after Cowboys scared some, the Patriots decided to let the Jets breach the spread instead. We had at least 6 (after I went and recounted, unsure if I missed any) stay on level 3 after picking both. We had 8 people correctly pick the bonus of only Cowboys. In other news? The picks of the successful 4 people that get to be on my new Level 4... Cowboys, Ravens (x2), Giants, Bengals, Rams, Bears (x2). I think if I was on Level 3 I would have had... Bengals and um... likely Cardinals so I would have been stuck too, ahaha~

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 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.
-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.

Games:
Packers (-3.5) @ EAGLES
TEXANS (-4.5) vs Panthers
RAVENS (-6.5) vs Browns
GIANTS (-2.5) vs Redskins
Chargers (-15.5) @ DOLPHINS
Colts (-6.5) @ RAIDERS
Chiefs (-6.5) @ LIONS
Patriots (-6.5) @ BILLS
FALCONS (-3.5) vs Titans
RAMS (-9.5) vs Buccaneers
Seahawks (-4.5) @ CARDINALS
BEARS (-1.5) vs Vikings
BRONCOS (-2.5) vs Jaguars
Cowboys (-2.5) @ SAINTS
STEELERS (-3.5) vs Bengals

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: 2 Game differentials. Pick two games and specify them to have a score differential of either 10+ or 5-. Make sure to specify which you pick, if you pick a score to be 10+ and the score ends up 3 apart, you don't get that one correct.

(Shall be interesting to see if that ends up harder than 30+/10-, of course, I made sure it's two games because lolDolphins)

Bonus: How many passing TDs will QBs that are starting this week but did not start Week 1 combine for this week?
(aka: K. Allen, Jones, Rosen, Minshew, Bridgewater and Rudolph, to make sure you have an idea of who)

Fucking level 2. Knew I would get stuck on it this year. Again. Like last year.

Redskins. Figured I'll pick the opposite to what I chose in the Suicide comp so I hopefully get at least one of them right. Watch that match end up as a tie now...

Oops, not sure why I made that error. I even literally was talking about it just before I finally got to post it since TNF commercial was like "this is a no fly zone."

Sorry about that.
