Entry Fee: $20Deadline for entries: Thursday January 7, 2010
You have to pick the winner of the game and by how much. Since there are only a total of 11 games from Wildcard to Superbowl, we need to use the points differential as a tie-breaker.
Example: Washington vs. Dallas
Let's say you pick Dallas by 7 and the final score is Dallas 20 Washington 17, then you get the win (which is the main thing) but your point differential will be 4. You picked Dallas by 7 and they won by 3 therefore the difference is 4. Now let's say you pick Washington by 7. Well you don't get the win and your point differential would be 10. The 7 you picked for Washington plus the 3 they lost by.
The winner is the one with the most wins. The point differential will only be used in case of a tie.
The prize money will be paid out according to the number of entries. Usually 50%, 30% and 20%.
