Week 3 was a brutal one. 20 users had Tampa Bay for level 2, and only 2 people made it through Level 3. On top of that, TEN games were decided by 10 or more points, and no one guessed more than 8.
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). 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. Schedule: (Favorites listed first; home team in CAPS) Thursday, September 30 CINCINNATI (-7.5) vs Jacksonville Sunday, October 3 1 PM Washington (-1.5) @ ATLANTA BUFFALO (-16.5) vs Houston CHICAGO (-2.5) vs Detroit DALLAS (-4.5) vs Carolina MIAMI (-1.5) vs Indianapolis Cleveland (-1.5) @ MINNESOTA NEW ORLEANS (-7.5) vs New York Giants Tennessee (-7.5) @ NEW YORK JETS Kansas City (-7.5) @ PHILADELPHIA 4 PM LOS ANGELES RAMS (-4.5) vs Arizona SAN FRANSISCO (-2.5) vs Seattle DENVER (-0.5) vs Baltimore GREEN BAY (-6.5) vs Pittsburgh 8 PM Tampa Bay (-6.5) @ NEW ENGLAND Monday, October 4 LOS ANGELES CHARGERS (-3.5) vs Las Vegas Bonus Question: How many touchdowns will Tom Brady throw in his return to New England?

Level 3: Tennessee (-7.5), Tampa Bay (-6.5)
Bonus: 4 Don't feel super great about these spreads but eh, I'll try a different tactic than last week's "no underdog spreads I like? Let's stick to close point spreads if we can." Jets are an absolute dumpster fire and Henry should feast on them. And I 100% believe Brady will try to embarrass Belichick so sure, let's go with that. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ... Copied to Clipboard!
