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
Timing is everything. Dave Larkin notched his third weekly victory last week, narrowly edging Andy Hicks with a tiebreaker score of 42 vs. the 41 total points on the Monday Night game. Larkin and Hicks both missed only four games and tied Jeff Pasquino (Week 12) for the highest weekly totals of the season. Way to finish strong guys!

The Chargers, Miami, and Denver were the three big upsets last week, costing the staff almost 300 confidence points.
OVERALL RANKINGS
Larkin extends his lead going into the last week of the season. 15 points may not seem like a lot, but if you take the Week 16 results as an example, that's the difference between the top spot and 12th spot. Technically Pasquino and Tuccitto are still in the hunt as well. Check out the direct comparisons below for more info on the final week strategy.
