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
Fewer games means lower possible points but that didn't stop Sean Settle from posting an impressive 95 points to give him his first weekly victory. Settle only missed two games - Jacksonville and Philadelphia and he only lost 10 points between the two of them. Very impressive performance.

Jacksonville and Philadelphia took down almost everyone on the board this week, with Jeff Pasquino being the only guy to risk a single confidence point on Houston. Baltimore and Miami also hurt the board a bit, but both of those games were very low in total confidence points, leading to minimal impact.
OVERALL RANKINGS
Larkin remains at the top of the overall leaderboard, but his lead has shrunk to just six total points. Tuccitto had a rough week and he dropped to third behind another solid, consistent performance from Brimacombe.
