Our previous winners over the first two seasons of NFL Picks:

If you would like to play this season, there's still plenty of time left. Just post a comment on this post with your Xbox gamertag or a name you would like to be called. For the rules to how we do this, just scroll down to the previous NFL Picks post.

For those of you playing, this is the week where the majority of bonus points can be earned. We will be picking our division winners for each and every division. If you pick the correct division winner of a particular division, you will receive three bonus points that you'll get at the end of the regular season.

Also, Week 1 is your chance to pick a Super Bowl winner. If the team that you choose to win the Super Bowl beats the 1 out of 32 odds to hoist the Lombardi Trophy at the end of the season, you will get ten bonus points. There will be an opportunity to change your Super Bowl pick in Week 10 if your team isn't performing as well as you hoped, which would result in only a 5 point bonus if you get that right.

We will also be picking for the Week 1 scheduled games. You have from now until the kickoff of the particular game you're choosing for to have your pick count for one point each. Here's the Week 1 schedule:

Vikings @ Saints (Thursday Night Kickoff Special)

Dolphins @ Bills

Colts @ Texans

Lions @ Bears

Falcons @ Steelers

Browns @ Buccaneers

Bengals @ Patriots

Broncos @ Jaguars

Raiders @ Titans

Panthers @ Giants

49ers @ Seahawks

Cardinals @ Rams

Packers @ Eagles

Cowboys @ Redskins (Sunday Night)

Ravens @ Jets (Monday Night Part 1)

Chargers @ Chiefs (Monday Night Part 2)

Please make your picks in order too, it makes it easier for me to put it into the excel spreasheet.

So, if you're confused, here's your three tasks from now until the kickoff of the Week 1 games:

1.) Make your Week 1 scheduled picks. Please have them in before the kickoff of the game you're picking for

2.) Make your divisional winners picks. Please have those in by the kickoff of the Thursday kickoff game

3.) Make your Super Bowl pick. Please have that in by kickoff the the Thursday kickoff game.

Thanks everyone, and have fun!
