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
Jason Wood handily beat the rest of the staff last week, with an odd feeling going into Monday night - his pick of Minnesota actually had to be wrong. Had Wood been correct, Mark Wimer's 16 points on the Vikings would have given him the weekly win. Fortunately for Wood, he was far enough ahead of anyone who took Seattle to keep his victory. Clayton Gray actually finished the week with the most correct picks (11) - but four of his top five most confident picks were wrong - costing him the win.

The NFC East burned the board badly this week. Dallas lost on Thanksgiving, putting most of the board in the hole early. Philadelphia's loss to Miami took everyone down a peg as well. Washington's upset win over Carolina was the biggest hit though - with everyone picking Carolina to win. The Panthers were the most confident pick by the board as well, with 257 confidence points allocated to them.
OVERALL RANKINGS
Miglio continues to hold a 2-point lead on second place, but the staffer in second has changed to Jeff Pasquino. Davenport slipped another point behind Miglio as well, but Knotts and Buzzard pulled into a three-way tie for 3rd place. That puts a staggering five teams within three points of the top spot after 13 weeks.
