Looking to dominate your office pool this season? Fifteen 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
It was a rough week for people making confidence pool picks as some of the heavy favorites went down and many of the other 'expected' winners did not come out. Jeff Haseley weathered the storm to finish at the top of the leaderboard with just 58 points. Not only is that the lowest total for a weekly winner all season, but 58 points is the lowest score of any staffer since week 7.

Upset losses by the Chargers, Falcons, Panthers, and Cardinals cost the board over 500 total confidence points. In fact, the Chargers were the team that the staff was most confident would win their contest last week. Losses by Kansas City, Green Bay, and Tennessee took down more than 100 confidence points as well.
OVERALL RANKINGS
Tuccitto gained 10 points on the top two teams, but the top of the leaderboard remained the same. It's shaping up to be a three-team race to the finish.
