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 types of games.
RESULTS FROM LAST WEEK
Another rough week for the overall leaderboard (especially the top of the overall board), but Jeff Haseley cracked the code pretty well. Jeff missed four games, but his confidence pool management had him finish five points ahead of everyone else. Keith Roberts only missed three games, but dropping 23 points on Dallas and the Rams ultimately cost him the weekly crown.

In a week where 105 was the top score, upsets by Houston, the Jets, the 49ers and the Steelers really hurt the board. Over 600 points were lost on those four games alone.
OVERALL RANKINGS
Larkin and Brimacombe had a terrible week, scoring less than 50 points and taking a tumble down the leaderboard. Keith Roberts didn't win the weekly contest and has yet to finish at the top of any specific week but he moved into the overall leader spot. He performed well enough to move 7 points ahead of the previous leader Dave Larkin. Miglio moved into a tie for second place with Larkin as well - both have 501 total points so far this season.
