Whoops, forgot to post this on Wednesday, but at least it won't show up like 2 hours before the Thursday game.

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.

JETS (-1.5) vs Broncos
Colts (-2.5) @ BEARS
Saints (-4.5) @ LIONS
Cardinals (-3.5) @ PANTHERS
BENGALS (-3.5) vs Jaguars
COWBOYS (-4.5) vs Browns
TEXANS (-4.5) vs Vikings
Seahawks (-6.5) @ DOLPHINS
BUCCANEERS (-7.5) vs Chargers
Steelers (-1.5) @ TITANS -- Warning, this game is PPD without a decided game time
Ravens (-13.5) @ FOOTBALL TEAM
RAMS (-12.5) vs Giants
CHIEFS (-6.5) vs Patriots
Bills (-2.5) @ RAIDERS
49ERS (-6.5) vs Eagles
PACKERS (-7.5) vs Falcons

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: 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 do not advance.

Bonus: Pick a team to score 30 or more points this week.

Whoops, this should have said points. And now the Titans/Steelers game is fully postponed. It will not happen this week, so do not pick it for any level.
