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
Well many of the staff made some crazy picks - but the one guy who continued his run of consistent, solid picks was Andrew Davenport. He correctly picked the upset wins by Chicago and Tennesee to post 90 total points with 10 correct picks. Well done!

OVERALL RANKINGS
Davenport missed six game but still won the weekly - that gave him the overall win as well. Miglio took some chances and tumbled to third. Pasquino was able to move into second, but he didn't have the key games that he needed go his way (see below).

Top Team Results
As mentioned above, Davenport's correct picks of Chicago and Tennessee helped him to victory. Both Miglio and Pasquino missed those games and it hurt them both.
All three guys lost (like most) by taking New England, but Pasquino only lost 8 points on that game. However, his flyer pick of Oakland and heavy weights on Tampa and Indianapolis ultimately cost him the win. Pasquino correctly picked Baltimore to beat the Steelers, but it was only good enough to land him in second place.
