What happens if multiple people pick every game correctly? The regular season's not that long...



The game is 14 weeks long... Statistically, it will take 32768 people to tie at week 14. And there are tie breakers.


It's 16 weeks. There are 17 regular season weeks, and we run all but the 1st.

We don't use a line, so the odds are better than that though. You can usually start off picking 10+ point favorites (which, if memory serves me, win about 85% of the time) but as you use up the better teams that worsens. For instance week 1 if you pick New England, you're a 16.5 pt favorite and will win almost always.

But yeah, the tiebreakers will handle it if it happens.


There are tie breaker rules on the Rules tab.
