League Rules
Pick NFL and college football spreads and totals, compete with your group, and see who finishes the season on top.
Picks Per Picks Period
Each player must submit the required number of picks for each picks period. During the regular season and NFL Wild Card round, each card requires exactly 10 total picks shared between NFL and college football. The NFL Divisional Round paired with the College Football National Championship requires 10 picks. The NFL Conference Championships require 4 picks, and the Super Bowl requires 2 picks.
Spread & Total Picks
You may select a point-spread pick, an over/under pick, or both from the same game. A spread pick and a total pick from the same game count as two separate picks toward your 10-pick card.
Opening Lines
Prime-Time Picks uses the opening spread and over/under stored for each game. Once an opening line is saved, later line movement does not change the line used to grade your pick.
Scheduled Start Lock
Picks may be changed or replaced until the scheduled start time of that individual game. Once a game reaches its scheduled start time, picks involving that game are locked.
Grading
Picks are graded after a game is completed. Winning picks count as wins, losing picks count as losses, and ties against the spread or total are recorded as pushes.
Postponed or Canceled Games
Picks involving a postponed or canceled game are graded as a push or void and do not count as a win or loss.
Opponent Pick Privacy
Other players' selections remain hidden while their picks are still in play. Results are revealed after the applicable games have finished.
Standings
Season standings are based on each player's graded picks. Wins, losses, pushes, and season performance are tracked throughout the football season.
No Gambling
Prime-Time Picks is a football pick'em competition for entertainment and bragging rights. The site does not accept bets, wagers, deposits, or real-money gambling.
