Rules

Everything that decides who wins the week, the season, and the title.

Weekly Picks

  • Pick a side against the spread in every game, every week.
  • Every spread carries a half point, so no pick can push — there's always a winner.
  • Home teams are always on the right side of the matchup.
  • Pick one game a week as your 2-point double — get it right for double the points.
  • Picks lock the moment that game kicks off.
  • Guess the combined final score of the week's last game — closest guess wins tiebreakers.

Regular Season & Scoring

  • A correct pick is worth 1 point. Your double pick is worth 2.
  • Standings rank by total points first.
  • Still tied? .
  • Every member sits in one division, inside one of two conferences.

Playoffs

Example field: 10 teams. The commissioner can also choose 12 or 14 — a bigger field means fewer byes per conference.
