    Thanks, Rich.

    Rules:
    • One pick per week
    • Your chosen team must be at least a (+3) underdog (Only games listed in this column are eligible)
    • Your chosen team must win the game outright (no 'pushes' or 'covers')
    • Season winner is the one with the most upsets correctly chosen between Week #1 through the Conference Championship Games (20 weeks all together)
    • There will be a points system to determine a winner in the event of a tie
    • Points will be accumulated by adding the game spreads for your correct picks (if you take Carolina (+4.5) and Carolina wins, you will be awarded a win and 4.5 points). Be careful making picks based on the number of points possible. Points only count if you are tied for the total wins lead when the whole contest is finished.
    • The No Upsets Option: Predict correctly that 'No Upsets' will occur in any given week and you will be awarded one win and a point total equal to the sum of all the spreads in that week's Upset Special. If you wish to exercise the 'No Upsets' Option, that prediction is due by 5 minutes prior to kickoff of the first game of the week in question. This includes Thursday Night Football or Saturday games. The 'No Upsets' option is confined to the Upset Possibilities listed in this article.
    • Picks are due no later than 5 minutes before the scheduled start of the broadcast time for your game. The FootballPros.com time stamp on your post is gospel.
    • Spread lines, once posted, will remain static throughout the week. This isn't The Sports Book at Caesar's Palace, after all.
    Let's. Get it. ON!!

      10 drops including 8 in the fourth qtr and 2 in the end zone on what would have been a game winning drive?! The Bears are finding the most entertaining ways to lose.

      So gimme the 49ers

      I like The Panthers as well. They always play well up there and have the pass rush needed. If Earl Thomas is still out or not 100%, Olsen should have a good day.

      Hey-a, Raven took the Packers.

      I think by the end of last week we all forgot that the MNF game was a part of the week 12 slate. Last week's games took about 3 1/2 weeks to complete.

      I have changed the parent document to reflect everything correctly. Things will be right next week.

      Oh, I wanted the Dolphins. I guess my laziness saved me from myself. Erm, I'll take the Buccaneers.
