1. Using the link for the week you wish to predict, you must click the radio button next to the teams you think will win that week, the home team is always listed second in each game. No point spreads are used, you are simply predicting the winner of the game.

2. Once you have picked one (and only one) winner in all games for the week, you should predict a combined total score for the Monday Night Football Game (or the last game of the week if there is no Monday Night Game scheduled).

4. Once you have completed the picks for a given week, you should make sure your name and email address are filled in and the click the "SUBMIT"  button on the picks page. This will send your picks to the pool, as well as send you a receipt for your picks being submitted to the address you specify.

5. You must submit your own picks for each game, you may not simply state "take the Vegas line."
     In the event that the web form submission method does not work for you, you may mail your picks in the body of an e-mail message to: nfl@boorman.us

For weeks that do not start on a Sunday (Week 1, Week 10-Week 16), players are allowed to resubmit picks for games up until 1:00PM Sunday for any games that have not yet been played (by resubmitting picks for all games with only unplayed games actually counting).

Thus, if a week had a game on Thursday, you would be required to submit picks (for all games) by kickoff of the Thursday game, however under this rule you will be allowed to resubmit your picks (for all games, but only unplayed games count) and change your picks for any unplayed games up until 1:00 PM ET on Sunday of that week.

For weeks that have Thursday, Saturday and Sunday games (Week 16), you may change picks for the Saturday game up until the kickoff of that game, and you may change picks for all other games up until 1:00PM ET Sunday.

In the event that a player forgets to pick a game, picks more than one team to win a game, or does not submit picks at all for a given week they are assumed to have picked the VISITING team for all unpicked games. You get the VISITING team if you fail to submit a valid pick for any game. Note that YOU DO NOT GET THE DEFAULT PICKS you would have gotten if you used the PANIC BUTTON to make your picks, you get the VISITING TEAM.
