This week in our picks, we will begin our "2 point conversion" games. I will select 4 or 5 of the most lopsided games this weekend, determined by point spreads. If you choose the underdog in that game (the team not favored to win), and that team wins, you will receive 2 points. But only if the underdog wins the game! Not if they beat the spread. If you choose the favorite and they win, you still get 1 point. If you're wrong on your pick, you get 0 points.

The Week 7 schedule. Please have your picks in prior to kickoff of the particular game you're choosing for:

*Seahawks @ 49ers (Thursday Night Standoff)(49ers favored by 7.5)

Titans @ Bills

Browns @ Colts

*Redskins @ Giants (Giants favored by 6.5)

Saints @ Buccaneers

Cowboys @ Panthers

*Ravens @ Texans (Texans favored by 6)

Packers @ Rams

*Cardinals @ Vikings (Vikings favored by 6)

*Jets @ Patriots (Pats favored by 10.5)

Jaguars @ Raiders

Lions @ Bears (Monday Night)
