How is NFL Pick'em scored?

NFL Pick'em is scored as follows for both weekly as well as for the season:

1. The number of correct picks.
The most important criteria is the correct number of winning picks. The person with the most correct picks straight up is the winner for the week. The person with the most correct picks straight up on the season is the winner for the season.

2. Tiebreakers
In the event of a weekly tie, Fantasy Nerds will calculate the difference in predicted points for the designated tie-breaker game (typically the Monday Night game). The person with the lower differential will win the tie-breaker.

For example, if the final score was 24-21, the total points are 45. If Player A predicted 28-21 and Player B predicted 35-28, Player A would win because the differential is 4 (49 - 45). Player B's differential would be 18 (63-45).

All differentials accumulate throughout the season, so it pays to be as accurate as possible.

If there is still a tie after the differentials are calculated, Fantasy Nerds will randomly select a winner.
