The week where I feel ashamed with myself, but also get to laugh at the fact that no one passed Level 4 again thanks to apparent obvious choices of how Steelers (who throughout this past decade have performed poorly against <.500 teams, even dropping games to last place Jets previously) and the Chiefs (who were facing a Panthers team that was getting CMC back) were going to blow out their opponents. That said, I would have had to laugh at myself too as if I even picked last week I probably would have grabbed Steelers and gotten bitten for it. Most importantly though, stevr finally has company at Level 6.

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:
Colts (-1.5) @ TITANS - 48.5
STEELERS (-7.5) vs Bengals - 47.5
LIONS (-3.5) vs Football Team - 45.5
BROWNS (-2.5) vs Texans - 49.5
PACKERS (-13.5) vs Jaguars - 50.5
Eagles (-3.5) @ GIANTS - 44.5
Buccaneers (-5.5) @ PANTHERS - 50.5
RAIDERS (-5.5) vs Broncos - 50.5
CARDINALS (-1.5) vs Bills - 56.5
RAMS (-1.5) vs Seahawks - 54.5
SAINTS (-9.5) vs 49ers - 50.5
Ravens (-7.5) @ PATRIOTS - 43.5
DOLPHINS (-2.5) vs Chargers - 48.5
Vikings (-2.5) @ BEARS - 43.5

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.

Level 5: 2 Over/Unders: I will now provide over/unders for each game. This number relates to the final score. You must choose 2 of the games and decide whether the final score will be OVER the number I provided or UNDER the number I provided. You must get both of these correct to advance.

Level 6: Pleaser: Pick one team to win using the spread, but with the pleaser, you lose 6 points on the spread. In other words, add six points in whichever direction makes it harder to win. For example, a (-2.5) spread becomes (-8.5), a (+3.5) becomes a (-2.5) spread, etc.

Bonus: Pick a Quarterback to throw for 300+ yards this week.

For the bonus, 3/6 QBs that hit 300 were selected. Goff, Brady, and Rodgers. The other three were Rivers, Big Ben, and Alex Smith. None of which I blame people for not picking, one was questionable to play, one has questionable play, and the third was just an immense surprise.

Oh right, one more thing of importance. Sadly me not being available on Sundays to check if people are following the rules lead to me not being able to inform @Arti that he made picks for Level 4, instead of Level 5 where he is at. He even labelled Level 5, but force of habits had him do point differential instead of O/U.
