If an NFL game is canceled before Saturday at 5:00 PM, the game will be removed from the piksheet and the week will continue without that game.
If a game is canceled after Saturday at 5:00 PM, it may remain on the piksheet but will not count. Side game picks must be changed before the Sunday hard cutoff.
If a game is canceled after the hard cutoff time, the game will be treated as a 0-0 tie.
