The NFL season is here! Time to prove your football knowledge with a good old fashioned pick ‘em.

Each week, there will be up to 16 matchups. Your goal is to guess the correct winner of each matchup. Each correct matchup prediction will award you 1 point toward that specific round. Whoever has the most points at the end of each round wins. The winners of each week will receive points for the overall season-long pick'ems competition.

Points breakdown:

1st - 25 points 2nd - 18 points 3rd - 15 points 4th - 12 points 5th - 10 points 6th - 8 points 7th - 6 points 8th - 4 points 9th - 2 points 10th - 1 point Tiebreakers will be decided by whoever is closest to the combined scores (mean) of the specific teams chosen for that week. Secondary tiebreak, if needed, will be decided by whoever has the best record who submitted first.

Just like with most Pick'ems, you'll be able to make your predictions early if you'd like, but be aware that past years' performance is not indicative of future success. Each round will be locked a day before the first game for that week.

Despite being from Texas, my two favorite teams are Minnesota and whoever is playing AGAINST Dallas….GO VIKINGS!
