Submission Deadlines

Weekly Deadlines

Since the NFL schedules a Thursday game for all weeks, there are two deadlines:

• Thursday Games: Picks must be submitted 15 minutes before kickoff.
• All Other Games: You can change picks until 15 minutes before Sunday kickoff (typically 11:45am Central).
• Note: London or Saturday game deadlines will be announced separately.

Forgetting Picks

If you forget to submit picks, you receive 5 points lower than the lowest score for that week. Missing a Thursday deadline results in the home team being assigned for 1 point.

Object of the Game

Assign point values from 16 down to 1 for every scheduled game based on your confidence.

• You will always have a 16-point game.
• If there are only 13 games, number them 16 down to 4.
• Everyone receives points for the 1 and 2 point "bye games".

Scoring & Bonuses

You receive the assigned rank value for each correct winner. In a tie, players receive 1/2 the assigned points.

Bonus Points

• Record Bonus: 1 point for every game over .500 (e.g., 9-5 in a 14-game week yields 2 bonus points).
• Monday Night Score: Guess the total points for the MNF game.
  • Exact: 5 pts
  • Within 5: 2 pts
  • Within 10: 1 pt

Prizes

Prize money is split roughly 50/50 between weekly winners and year-end cumulative winners.

• Weekly 1st Place: 64% of weekly prize pool.
• Weekly 2nd Place: 36% of weekly prize pool.
• Ties result in an even split.
