PLAYING IN THE PRO
THE WEEKLY PFLPRO PROCESS
Wednesday Piksheet
Each Wednesday evening during the NFL season, a new weekly piksheet is posted on the website.
Every Game Matters
During the regular season, players pick all 16 games each week. During the playoffs, players pick all playoff games, including the Super Bowl.
Computer or Phone
All picks are submitted using a computer or smart phone. Once submitted, picks are sent directly to the commissioner.
DEADLINES & WEEKLY UPDATES
Thursday Games
Thursday games are due by 8:15 PM ET or game time.
Sunday Games
Sunday games are due by 1:00 PM ET.
Player Picks
Shortly after picks are due, all PFLPro player picks for that week are posted on the website before the first game or games.
Stats & Rankings
Stats are updated after Thursday, Sunday, and Monday games. Rankings and side games can be found through the top or left navigation.
FAST PICKS OR STUDY ALL WEEK?
Both Have Worked. Both Have Failed.
Filling out the piksheet only takes a minute or two. Some players submit within minutes of the weekly piksheet being posted. Others study all week and get their picks in just before the deadline.
Both systems have worked well — and both systems have failed miserably — depending on who you ask.
INSIDE THE PFLPRO PIKSHEET
The Piksheet Entry Form
The PFLPro piksheet is broken into two main sections: the weekly 16 games and the side games.
For the weekly games, all 16 games must be picked. Each game is worth 1 point. The only other picks needed to complete the main section are your Lock and Upset picks.
A Lock pick can be either a favorite or an underdog. An Upset pick can only be an underdog team.
Total possible points in this section: 18 points.
16 Weekly Games
Pick all 16 games each week during the regular season. Each correct pick is worth 1 point.
Tiebreaker
Located above the weekly games, the tiebreaker must be included to submit your piksheet.
The tiebreaker is only used for the Low Man Out side game and is based on the Monday Night Game.
Season & Weekly Lock / Upset
Starting this season, your Lock and Upset picks count toward both the Season contests and the Weekly contests.
Season Locks and Season Upsets run through Week 20.
18 Possible Points
The weekly game section should total 18 possible points: 16 games, 1 Lock, and 1 Upset.
PIKSHEET SIDE GAMES
Survivor Contest
Pick one team each week. If that team covers, you advance to the next week. If that team loses, you are out.
There are 3 Survivor contests per season.
Margin of Victory
Pick one team each week and earn points based on how much that team wins by.
This is the only side game that is not played against the spread.
Important: you can only pick each team once per season.
High 5 Contest
Pick 5 games each week during the regular season.
- 5 wins = 10 points
- 4 wins = 7 points
- 3 wins = 5 points
- 2 wins = 3 points
- 1 win = 1 point
- 0 wins = 0 points
