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
Given the fact that we had four teams on a bye last week, the scores were pretty high. Keith Roberts notched his first weekly victory by posting an impressive 99 points and missing only two games. Contrast that with Mark Wimer - who finished last in the weekly standings. Mark also missed just two games, but his confidence weights on those games were much higher than Keith's. It was a crazy week for sure.

Larkin extended his lead to 15 points as Brimacombe had a weaker performance this week. Tuccitto actually gained a point on Larkin, but still remains in third place, 27 points out of the top slot.
