Rules

Welcome to Yahoo! Sports Pro Football Pick'em, a weekly game that lets you show your smarts by picking the winner of this year's regular season games.

All you have to do is enter your selections each week. You'll get points for every correct pick you make while we do all the hard work of gathering the results, and computing the point totals and standings.

Deadlines

The deadline to submit your final picks is five (5) minutes before the start of each game of the week. For almost all weeks, this will be 9:55 a.m. PT on Sunday, but will change if there are Thursday or Saturday games.

The Associated Press point spreads used in Yahoo! Sports Pro Football Pick'em are updated each day. Unless there are Thursday games, the Thursday lines will serve as the game's official spreads. In weeks with Thursday games, Wednesday's lines will be the official spreads.

Tiebreak System

In any week where two or more players finish with the same number of points, the following system will be used to break the tie:

1. Closest to the total points for Monday night's game.
   
2. Closest to the home team points for Monday night's game.
   
3. Closest to the road team points for Monday night's game.
   
4. Closest to the total points for Sunday night's game.
   
5. Closest to the home team points for Sunday night's game.
   
6. Closest to the road team points for Sunday night's game.
   
7. Closest to the city whose team scores the most points.
   
8. Closest to the city whose team scores the least points.
   
9. Whichever user had more points in the previous week (or the week before that if still tied, etc.)

You will be able to determine each weekly winner by looking at the Weekly Performance page, where the person winning the week will be shown in bold.
