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
Danny Tuccitto did well in a week of some major upsets. Tuccitto missed just three games this week and finished an impressive 5 points ahead of the entire field. With four teams off, he lost just 20 confidence points to notch his first weekly win. Well done.

The losses by New England and Green Bay hurt much of the field, but most staffers didn't go super heavy on either of them.
OVERALL RANKINGS
Jeff Pasquino clawed his way into the top spot with his 78 point performance this week. However, it's a very tight race as the top five teams are separated by less than 10 points total. We've officially beyond the halfway point of the season, but there is still plenty of time to make a big move.
