Looking to dominate your office pool this season? Eighteen 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
This week we had an impressive performance from new staffer Andrew Davenport. Despite everyone on staff missing the Thursday Night Football upset by Tampa Bay over Carolina, Drew missed just three other games and finished with a respectable 101 confidence points. He narrowly beat out Will Grant who had more points on Cleveland for Monday Night Football, but it wasn't enough to catch Drew this week. Welcome to the pool and Congrats!

The big upsets came early this week - with Tampa's big win taking down over 200 confidence points to open the week. Early losses by the kicking-challenged Chargers and the Titans took out almost 230 more confidence points to open Sunday morning.
OVERALL RANKINGS
The overall leaderboard starts to take shape. Miglio beat Garda this week so he pulls into the early lead, but only nine points separate the overall leader from the middle of the pack so there is plenty of time to move.
