Tiebreakers are open. Be sure to check out and understand the rules. cyan makes a big move going up to Level 9 with his six bonus points, to join Naye with his zero bonus points. Still a handful on Level 8 and a large group on Level 7 with a chance.
(Rules moved to second post) 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: 30+ or 10-: Pick one team to score 30 or more points, OR pick one team to score 10 or less points. You must clearly choose either 30+ or 10-. If you pick a team to score 30+, but they score 10-, you do not advance. Level 5: 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 6: 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 7: 3 Over/Unders: I will now provide over/unders for each game. This number relates to the final score. You must choose 3 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 all 3 of these correct to advance. Level 8: 5 Game Teaser: This is the opposite of level 5. 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. Level 9: Rank 'Em: Pick starting quarterbacks and rank them in order of passing yards they will have this week, from most to least. You must get the entire order correct. TWO CHOICES: You may rank any four quarterbacks, OR three quarterbacks but their team must win the game. All selected quarterbacks must start their game. You must pick all four at once, you cannot make a partial pick to complete later. --- LGM ... Copied to Clipboard!

A few ground rules:
-Please say which level you are on when you post your pick. In most cases it will probably 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. Tiebreakers: The bonus points that you have accumulated throughout the season will be used to earn tiebreaker points. Each bonus point gives you one attempt at a level that you have previously passed during this season. If correct, you get points added to your tiebreaker score equal to the number of the level. You may use as many as you want during a week or save them for a future week, but you can only attempt each level once per week, and you must have already passed that stage to attempt it. Each bonus point can only be used once. After Week 17, if there is a tie on the highest-reached level, the person with the highest tiebreaker score will be crowned champion. . Schedule: (home team in CAPS, favorites on the left) Saturday, December 23rd BALTIMORE (-13.5) vs Indianapolis [40.5] Minnesota (-8.5) at GREEN BAY [40.5] Sunday, December 24th Detroit (-4.5) at CINCINNATI [43.5] LA Chargers (-6.5) at NY JETS [42.5] LA Rams (-6.5) at TENNESSEE [47.5] CHICAGO (-6.5) vs Cleveland [37.5] CAROLINA (-9.5) vs Tampa Bay [46.5] NEW ORLEANS (-5.5) vs Atlanta [52.5] WASHINGTON (-3.5) vs Denver [40.5] KANSAS CITY (-10.5) vs Miami [43.5] NEW ENGLAND (-11.5) vs Buffalo [47.5] Jacksonville (-4.5) at SAN FRANCISCO [42.5] ARIZONA (-3.5) vs NY Giants [39.5] DALLAS (-4.5) vs Seattle [46.5] Monday, December 25th Pittsburgh (-9.5) at HOUSTON [44.5] PHILADELPHIA (-8.5) vs Oakland [47.5] Bonus Question: Choose a player who will record at least seven receptions this week. --- LGM ...

Reposting it in this week topic:
There is an error in my bonus point number At the start of week 15, I had 3 bonus point remaining and 4 used During the week I used one of them (and failed) but I won back one because I took 9 total score in the Pats vs Pitt So after week 15 I should still have 3 bonus point remaining (and 5 used) instead of 2 Thanks --- Congratulation to DpOblivion for winning Tumblr's BGE 3 guru contest ...

But really, level 5 is too high of a pleaser. A lot of times games should be close, and a 6 point pleaser is asking for a TD. On top of what already is a spread, which you start looking at this... We've hardly had a close matchup in the way of picks, it's all everything on X team which can go from like 4.5 pts, to 13.5 pts this season. Picking an underdog is fine, especially towards the beginning of the year when franchises are picked for being franchises... Spreads aren't normally bad because numbers aren't that hard to catch... but here? Level 5 is: Pick a blow-out, or pick an underdog. There's no inbetween and it's like... It's not that easy. There may be like 3 games total a week that can actually meet these pleasers.
