The My Entry page is your home to view/edit your Pro Football Pick'em selections. You can view the teams you have picked to win and the game spread (if Spread option is selected). If your entry belongs to a group that awards bonus points, this information will be displayed here as well.

Weekly Breakdown
Weekly Breakdown displays all points accumulated, correct selections, and the overall percentile rank (based on picks) from each week. Entries are grouped by type and updated weekly.

Spread vs. Non-Spread Entries
When you created your entry, you chose whether you wanted to make selections against the spread or straight-up. If you created a spread entry, the selection table will display the point spread for each game along with who is the favorite and who is the underdog. If you created a non-spread entry, the selection table will display the home and away teams. All you need to do is select the winner of the game.

Point Spread
A point spread is the predicted scoring difference between a game's two opponents. If picking the favorite, that team must win by more than the value of the point spread. If picking the underdog, that team must lose by less than or tie the value of the point spread (or win the game outright) to cover the spread and be the winning pick. If the spread is not covered by the favorite, then the underdog wins the matchup. For instance, if the spread is 4.0 points and the favorite wins by only 4 points, then the favorite did not cover the spread and the underdog wins the matchup.

The selection table will display the current point spread. Point spreads are updated each day of the week and will lock on Wednesday night at 11:59 pm PT. Wednesday's line will serve as the game's official spread for that week. If you submitted your selection any time before Wednesday, please note that the spread your entry will be scored against will be the official spread determined on Wednesday night at 11:59 pm PT.

No Line
When a point spread is not in use for a particular game, the spread will be "No Line". The selection table will display a "NL" for the game in question and neither team is the favorite. In this scenario, a winning pick will be credited to the winning team.

Bonus Points
Bonus points are used to weigh each game during a week. You'll assign a value to each game based on how confident you are with your selection. This value represents how many bonus points you will receive if your selection is correct. NOTE: Bonus points are an optional feature available to groups. Each bonus point value may be used only once per week. The highest bonus point value available for assignment is dependent on the number of games in the week. For example, if there are 16 games played one week, you can assign any number from 1 to 16, 16 representing the highest bonus value you have for a pick.

Locktimes
All Sunday games lock at 1:00p. All other games lock at their respective game time, including Monday Night games.
