Patriots might be back as the Ravens fall turns some heads towards wondering what kind of team the Ravens really are. Also, someone was just barely off on Level 6, @KokoroAkechi took the Rams on Pleaser which made it a -7.5 line. And Rams won by exactly a Touchdown. I haven't seen too many cases in even Level 3 of people being that .5 off from passing. At least, this year.

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:
SEAHAWKS (-3.5) vs Cardinals - 57.5
BROWNS (-3.5) vs Eagles - 47.5
SAINTS (-4.5) vs Falcons - 50.5
PANTHERS (-1.5) vs Lions - 47.5
Patriots (-2.5) @ TEXANS - 47.5
Steelers (-10.5) @ JAGUARS - 46.5
COLTS (-1.5) vs Packers - 51.5
FOOTBALL TEAM (-1.5) vs Bengals - 46.5
RAVENS (-6.5) vs Titans - 48.5
VIKINGS (-7.5) vs Cowboys - 48.5
Chiefs (-6.5) @ RAIDERS - 56.5
Dolphins (-3.5) @ BRONCOS - 45.5
CHARGERS (-8.5) vs Jets - 46.5
BUCCANEERS (-3.5) vs Rams - 48.5

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: Name a duo of Receivers from the same team to eclipse a total of 150 yards this week.

Went from QBs to the receivers, didn't want to try another Rodgers/Brady sort of question because of Rivers/Rodgers happening.

I... can't believe the Seahawks are favored in this matchup. Especially in the same week of Colts being favored over the Packers and even Washington being favorites for... I think the first time? Maybe they were favorites over the Giants, but this would be ludicrous if it came off of any week other than Alex Smith's nearly a comeback. Keyword of nearly.

I wanted to just do the bonus without a pick but I wasn't sure that was allowed... Even though I can just change it later.

I do not see a reason to believe you can't just post the bonus because of wanting to use the bonus on Thursday Night Football but not knowing what you want to do for the actual ladder pick. Just for future reference.
