How to play NFL Burn

Make three win picks and one loss pick. Wrong calls burn teams.

How NFL Burn works: each week, pick three winners and one loser. An incorrect pick burns that team for the season.

The full rules

  • A league may have between 2 and 30 members. New leagues can start throughout the season, beginning with the next complete week.
  • You can pick a team as many times as you want—until they burn.
  • You may take both sides of one game, so long as neither team is already burned.
  • If you fail to make four picks, empty slots earn no points and cause no burns.
  • If an NFL game ends tied, either a win pick or loss pick is incorrect and burns the selected team.
  • Picks lock when a team’s game begins or at its scheduled start time, whichever comes first.
  • Picks only become visible to the rest of the league once locked.
  • If members are tied, the combined scoring margin from all of their win picks breaks the tie. Winning by more helps; losing a win pick hurts.
