NFL Point Differential League

2026 Season

League Rules

Each player selects one NFL team each week. Your weekly score is based on the point differential if your selected team wins.

1. One Pick Per Week

Each player may have one active team pick for each NFL week.

You may change your pick before your currently selected team's game kicks off.

2. Team Usage Rule

Each NFL team may only be selected once by each player during the entire season.

Example: if you select the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1, you cannot select the Jacksonville Jaguars again in any later week.

Other players may still select that team. The restriction applies separately to each player.

3. Pick Lock Rule

Once the game involving your currently selected team kicks off, your pick is permanently locked for that week.

You cannot switch to a team playing later after your selected team's game has started.

4. Scoring

If your selected team wins, you receive points equal to the winning point differential.

Example: if your team wins 27-20, you receive 7 points.

A loss or tie is worth 0 points.

5. Pick Privacy

Before your selected team's kickoff, the public leaderboard displays PICK SUBMITTED.

Once that game kicks off, your selected team becomes visible on the leaderboard.

6. Missed Picks

If a player does not submit a pick for a week, that week is worth 0 points.

The leaderboard marks the missed week after all scheduled games for that week have kicked off.

7. Standings

Players are ranked by total points.

If total points are tied, players with more weekly wins rank higher. Remaining ties are sorted alphabetically by player name.

8. Player Identity

Your registered email address is used to verify your league account.

Picks must be submitted using an active registered player account.
