The 18-week contest is won by accruing as many points as possible, based on five (5) weekly NFL selections against a static point spread. Entrants will be awarded one (1) point for each correct selection, one half (.5) point for each push, and zero (0) points for each incorrect selection.

Official spreads will be posted Wednesdays at noon (Pacific time) in the LINES section and are sourced from here (the “Bet365” column).

A pick can be submitted anytime before kickoff of selected game (picks are time-stamped).

Last Place = $80
4th Place = $40
3rd Place = $80
2nd Place = 30% of remaining pot
1st Place = 70%*

To qualify for the Last Place prize, FULL participation (90 made picks) is required.

Buy-in is $40, payable by ApplePay (email me if you need my number), PayPal (@Kirikos), or cash whenever you see me.

*In the event of a tie for 1st Place, the winner will be determined based on the entrant that accumulated the most Contest wins during the eighteen (18) weeks of the regular season. If total wins accumulated during the eighteen (18) weeks are equal, then the tiebreaker will revert to the entrant that has accumulated the most winning weeks. A winning week is defined as accumulating more than 2.5 points in a given Contest week. If total winning weeks accumulated during Weeks 1-18 are equal, then the tiebreaker will revert to the entrant that has accumulated the most undefeated (5-0) weeks during the regular season.
