If you're new to the game, playing is extremely simple-simply pick who you think will win each REGULAR SEASON NFL matchup. Pick right and you get a point. Pick wrong, you get nothing. At the end of the season, most total points wins. You have until
5 minutes before each game to make your picks.
Edit: Also created a College Pick 'Em group. Registration info:

College Pick 'Em is like Pro Pick 'Em except you try to pick the winner of each matchup involving a TOP 25 TEAM. At the end of the season, most total points wins. You have until
5 minutes before each game to make your picks. Only regular season games count, there is a separate game for the bowls. Also, only games played on certian days (usually Thursday-Saturday) count.
Salary Cap Football group:

Salary Cap is like the main game but you must assemble your team while staying within a fixed salary cap of $100. Each player has an assigned value that changes from week-to-week.

Survival is the ultimate challenge. Each week you must pick the correct winner of ONE regular season NFL game (your choice). The catch? You may only pick each team ONE TIME throughout the duration of the game. Win, you stay alive. Lose, you get a strike. 3 Strikes, You're Out. (New twist this year, you can choose how many strikes you're allowed, up to 3) Last one standing wins.
College Bowl Pick 'Em will be added when the game begins, which will be after the college regular season has concluded.
