Think you know how the NFL playoffs will unfold? Put your football knowledge (or luck) to the test when the games really count. See how you stand up to the playoff pressure — just make 12 picks each week of the playoffs; winners straight-up and against the spread, the over/under and a few prop questions along the way. Pick’em right and you could win too!

How to Play

  • Pick 12 outcomes from a combination of winners straight-up and against the spread, the over/under and select prop questions each week of the playoffs.
  • Assign each pick a “weight” from 12 for your most confident pick to 1 for your least confident pick. The weight you give each pick represents the number of points you will receive if correct. For example, if you weight Denver as 12 to win straight-up and Denver wins, you receive 12 points.
  • You can use each weight only once. You want to give the picks in which you are most confident of being correct the highest weights.
  • Only one entry is allowed per person and/or e-mail address.
  • You may change your picks any time before the weekly deadline.

 

Scoring System

Your rank each week and overall is determined by the number of points earned from all of your correct picks and, if necessary, by the tie-breaking procedures.

  • The weight you give each pick represents the number of points you will receive if correct. For example, if you weight Denver as 12 to win straight-up and Denver wins, you receive 12 points.
  • You can earn a maximum of 78 points (12+11+10+…+3+2+1) each week of the playoffs.

Tie-breakers

  1. Points scored by the home team in a selected playoff game
  2. Points scored by the visiting team in a selected playoff game
  3. Total pass completions by both teams in a selected playoff game
  4. Time of entry (earlier is better)

Overall tie-breaker

  1. Best rank in the final week
