Game FAQs
Q: How do I play?
A: It’s easy! Each week, pick the team you think will win each game and save your picks. Don’t forget to save and submit a tiebreaker score (the total points you think will be scored by all four teams in the final two games of the week). All picks for a game must be submitted at least five (5) minutes before that game’s kickoff.
Q: How can I win?
A: You have the chance to win three ways!
First, you can win a Weekly Prize. Each week during the NFL regular season, you can earn points based on your correct picks. If a team you select wins, you will earn points equal to that team’s score! If the team you selected loses, you will not earn any points for that game. In the event of a tie among players on the leaderboard, your tie breaker score (your guess of the combined points scored by all four teams in the final two games of the week) will determine the winner. The 1st 2nd, and 3rd place players on the weekly leaderboard based on total points earned during that week, will receive a Weekly Prize!
Second, you can win the Monthly Sweepstakes Prize. Each month during the NFL regular season, one eligible player will be selected at random to receive the Monthly Sweepstakes Prize. To earn an entry, you must submit valid weekly picks for every week in the prior calendar month. All eligible players will be entered into that month’s drawing.
Third, you can win the Grand Prize. Weekly points earned throughout the season accumulate on the season leaderboard. The player with the highest point total at the conclusion of the regular season will finish first on the final leaderboard and receive the Grand Prize. In the event of a tie, the tiebreaker will be used to determine the winner.
