Looking to dominate your office pool this season? Fifteen Footballguys.com staff members are here to help you out. Each week they will pick the winners of every NFL game, and rank their selections based on how confident they are that the team will win. The most-confident pick gets 16 points, and the least-confident gets just 1. We'll even total up everyone's picks so you can get an overall consensus on who our staff think will be the most likely winners. Each week we'll announce the weekly winners, and track the overall record for the entire season. A couple of things to note before we get to the picks:
- Picks for this pool are straight up (no point spread considered).
- Picks are due on Wednesday nights, and will not reflect any late-breaking news. If your league allows for last minute changes, please make adjustments to your office pool accordingly.
- Our staffers also play in weekly picks Against The Spread, and Survivor Style 'Pick one Winner each week' formats as well. Check out the other weekly articles for more help with those type of games.
RESULTS FROM LAST WEEK
Keith Roberts put on a clinic last week and posted the highest single week total of the season, even without a full 16 game schedule. Roberts missed just four games and his highest total loss was only nine points. He finished three points ahead of Danny Tuccitto who also missed four games, but only scored 95 points due to his confidence pool weights. Well done to both of you guys.

Atlanta and Philadelphia were the biggest upsets of the week, taking down 275 confidence points between the two of them. Detroit, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh were also strong favorites in their respective contests, and their losses cost the staff another 197 points for all three games.
OVERALL RANKINGS
Tuccitto's big week allowed him to climb into the driver's seat for the overall leaderboard. He's in a unique position of leading the overall contest despite never having won a specific week. This is not as uncommon as you might think as it takes consistent solid performance to win the overall board, but that doesn't always translate into weekly victory.
