If there seems to be something off with things that happened, please read the rules.
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: Buccaneers (-3.5) @ BEARS FALCONS (-2.5) vs Panthers CHIEFS (-13.5) vs Raiders PATRIOTS (-8.5) vs Broncos Rams (-7.5) @ FOOTBALL TEAM TEXANS (-6.5) vs Jaguars Bills (-0.5) @ TITANS Cardinals (-7.5) @ JETS STEELERS (-7.5) vs Eagles RAVENS (-13.5) vs Bengals 49ERS (-3.5) vs Dolphins COWBOYS (-9.5) vs Giants Colts (-2.5) @ BROWNS SEAHAWKS (-7.5) vs Vikings SAINTS (-7.5) vs Chargers 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: Will any games be postponed this week? (Whether or not they get moved to Monday/Tuesday or have to mess with another set of Byes like Titans/Steelers did) Level 4 Camden* davidponte* DpObliVion* Emeraldegg* KokoroAkechi* MMXcalibur*** MysteriousStan* th3l3fty* theawesomestevr** Xuxon* Level 3 Arti Ashethan* Bartzyx* Cody11533* crazyisgood Dancedreamer* Eddv* fortybelowsummer* foxhead84* HanOfTheNekos HBJDubs** Jukkie*** KCF0107* KommunistKoala* Mewtwo59* MZero* Ringworm* Runemistress* Sir Chris** StifledSilence** Stripperiffic* Suprak the Stud thekitchensink** TheKnightOfNee* VengefulKaelee* VeryInsane** WiggumFan267** Wizardsfan1000** Level 2 Aecioo* Crescent-Moon Evil_REmade* pepper2012 pronouncemyname** ScareChan SwiftyDC* turbopuns* WalrusJump Whiskey_Nick* Wicklebee* ZeroSignal620* I don't really like doing that bonus, but man, Vegas is actually scared of making spreads for Bills/Titans since Titans may have to surrender.

I think I should be on level 2 I must have accidentally erased your name in general, instead of copy/pasting into Level 2. You are indeed in Level 2. Anyway, as for bonus. The way I will deal with it is simple, your post must come before the announce of the delay. People can still pick the bonus, but if you pick yes now (and no new games get delayed between now and the end of this week) then you don't get the bonus. Anyone that has said yes after Ringworm's post does not count for either Patriots/Broncos or Titans/Bills, which have been both PPD. Of course, it doesn't count for anything that gets PPD next week either, in case something gets moved into TNF and then moved out of it due to a delay. --- I'll just go back to gifs.

Yes, good point. If either game gets cancelled due to COVID (or if Patriots/Broncos gets moved to Tuesday), anyone that says yes before such an announcement would get a bonus point.

@WickIebee Hello, I want to pick the Bills to cover the spread. However, what will happen is the game is cancel on monday? I won't be able to chose another game. So, can I do something like this? : I believe it's fully the risk of the pick. Similar to how you don't get any do-overs in Suicide if two teams tie. If you take the Bills, you definitely should have the risk of the game getting cancelled... I should not be accepting "If X, then Y" sorts of picks. @foxhead84 --- I'll just go back to gifs.
