Standings tomorrow etc.
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 before kick-off of the game in question. You cannot pick a game that has already started. Some levels may have different deadlines, so read carefully. -The deadline to answer the bonus question is at the start of games on Sunday (1 PM ET). -Please don't edit your picks. If you'd like to change, please do so in a clearly labeled new post. -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). If you have earned a bonus point during the same week, it is eligible to be used. 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. 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. You do not need to pick the winner, as long as the differential is correct, it does not matter which team wins. 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. Level 7: QB, RB, WR: Pick 1 player to throw a touchdown pass, 1 player to rush for a touchdown, and 1 player to catch a touchdown pass. They must all be from different teams, and must also combine for at least 4 touchdowns in their respective positions. Typically you will be picking a QB, RB, and WR, but you may pick players from other positions to fill those roles (i.e. a TE or RB to get a receiving touchdown). You must make it clear what role you are picking the players for if it is not the standard QB/RB/WR or QB/RB/TE. If the player gets a touchdown in a different way (i.e. your rusher getting a receiving touchdown), it does not count. Level 8: 5 Game Teaser: This is the opposite of level 6. Instead of losing 6 points on each spread, you actually gain 6 points on each spread. But you have to get all 5 games right to move on. So a team favored by 9.5 will now only have to win by 3.5, a team that is getting 2.5 points will now be getting 8.5 points.

I forgot to do it last week, but I retroactively added bonus points for the closest guess when no one got the bonus. 1 point to Han for Week 3 (10+ point wins. 10 was correct, Han's 8 was the closest), Leon and Para for Week 4 (Brady TD passes. 0 was correct, they guessed 1), and Nick for Week 8 (lowest scoring team. Lions (6) was correct, Nick's Football Team (10) was the closest. No one picked Jaguars (7) or Browns (10)).
Rough break for Cody, who picked two 5- games that finished with a 6-point differential.

Oh I actually thought I had enough bonus points to skip but I only did with the retroactive one, lol. well that works out! yeah I really didn't want to have to tell you so close to Sunday (and after the Thursday game) that you couldn't actually skip because I took way too long to get standings up which reminded me to actually do the retroactive bonuses I said I would do, and luckily you did get one so it worked out! The others ones didn't matter much because Leon doesn't have enough to skip, Nick already did have enough, and Han hasn't made a pick in weeks --- MZero, to the extreme I never saw azuarc coming, but he won the Guru! ...
