The Game
How Pigskin Pix Works
Pigskin Pix transforms NFL games into a real-time friendly competition. Make your picks, predict the margin, follow your scores, and compete throughout the season.
Choose the winner of every game and predict the margin of victory. Each result adds to your weekly score, while weekly totals build your place in the season standings.
Every pick matters, and every NFL weekend can change the competition.
Rules of the Game
Make the Call. Predict the Margin.
The goal is to generate the highest weekly score by choosing the winning team and predicting its margin of victory in every game. In the rare event that an NFL game ends in a tie, there is no winning team or margin of victory, so every player’s selection for that game is scored as an incorrect pick. If a player makes no pick for a game, that game earns 0 points; it is not scored as an incorrect pick and does not add a loss to the player’s record.
Predict the margin
An exact margin earns another 50 points. Otherwise, the difference between your margin and the actual margin is deducted.
Watch your scores
Every game score—including negative scores for incorrect submitted winners and 0 for no pick—is added together for the weekly total.
Regular-Season Scoring Example
Your Pick
Falcons +3 over the Panthers
The examples below show how your score changes as the actual game result changes.
| Actual Winner | Actual Margin | Your Score | Calculation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Falcons | +3 | 100 | Starting Score (50) + Exact Margin Bonus (50) |
| Falcons | +7 | 46 | Starting Score (50) - the 4-point margin difference |
| Falcons | +1 | 48 | Starting Score (50) - the 2-point margin difference |
| Panthers | +3 | -6 | Starting Score (0) - the 6-point margin difference |
| Tie | +0 | -3 | Starting Score (0) - the 3-point margin difference |
The Stakes Get Higher
Playoff Points Increase Every Round
The regular correct-winner value doubles with each playoff round. Margin adjustments and exact-margin points scale with it.
