-----------------------------

Recap of the new rules: Everybody gets two optional bye weeks up through Week 15. You can miss two weeks for whatever reason, though weeks 16 and 17 are mandatory.

We'll keep two tiers, a top tier for 15+ week players and a secondary tier with fewer than those. Play less than 12 weeks and you'll be dropped from standings.

If you miss week 16 or 17 you'll be dropped to the second tier unless your week total is less than 12.

Pushes (ties) will not count in standings. If you have a problem making the deadline you can PM your picks to me in advance of me posting them (if pressed for time you can just tell me you'll take all the favorites, for example). We're using spreads published by http://www.footballlocks.com/nfl_point_spreads.shtml

Picks are due before the first kickoff of the week -- for this week, that's Sunday at 1:00 PM Eastern. Please remember to play all games. Please post in the order they are presented here -- it helps my job considerably. Good luck.
