•Each week, every entry picks one NFL team that you are certain will win.
•Teams may be re-used throughout the season — pick the same team every week if you like.
•You may have multiple entries, up to the season's limit. Each entry picks and stands on its own.
•Entries are per season and close at the Week 1 deadline — no joining mid-season.
⏰ Deadlines & pick changes
•Submit your pick by Sunday at 1:00 PM Eastern each week.
•A game that has already kicked off can no longer be picked — Thursday games lock at Thursday kickoff.
•You can change your pick as often as you like before the deadline; the latest submission counts.
•Each pick stays hidden until its game kicks off or the weekly deadline passes, whichever comes first — Thursday picks show Thursday night, everything else reveals at the deadline.
🏆 The Winners Pool
•Every entry starts in the Winners Pool. If your team wins, you survive to pick again.
•If your team loses — or ties; a tie game is not a win — you drop into the Losers Pool.
•Winning entries continue through the playoffs and Super Bowl if necessary.
•The entry (or entries) that last the longest win or divide the Winners Pool, and are finished — they do not enter the Losers Pool.
🎯 The Losers Pool
•Entries in the Losers Pool keep picking one team each week, win or lose, through the Super Bowl.
•You carry your accumulated Winners Pool wins with you.
•The entry (or entries) with the most total wins — combined from both pools — win or divide the Losers Pool.
😴 Missed picks
•Fail to submit a pick and you are given the visiting team in the last game of the week.
•Miss three consecutive weeks and your entry is marked OUT for the year.
🏟️ If the Winners Pool reaches the Super Bowl
•A Winners Pool entry that picks the Super Bowl loser drops to the Losers Pool and shares it with anyone else at one loss — or wins it alone if no one else has only one loss.
•If every remaining Winners Pool entry picks the Super Bowl loser, everyone with one loss shares both pools.
🤝 Fair play
•Submitting false entries will result in expulsion from the pool.
