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
James Brimacombe gambled on a couple of games and it worked to perfection this week. He was the only staffer to pick the Eagles to update the Rams, and he also picked up ground by taking Cleveland over Denver and Tennessee over the Giants, to score a weekly high 102 confidence points. He narrowly edged out Wimer who had some strong 'contrarian' plays by taking the Chargers over KC and the Steelers over New England with his top two picks. Well done to both of them.

Losses by the Chiefs, Jaguars, Seahawks, and Rams took down 580 total confidence points last week. As the season draws to a close, games like this will have a greater impact on the final outcome.
OVERALL RANKINGS
Brimacombe's big win this week brings him to within 10 points of the overall leader Larkin. Tuccitto and Pasquino remain in the hunt but are fading fast with only two weeks to go.
