Rules & How To Play
Two ways to compete on ManCaveStyle. Switch between game modes below.
NFL Pick'em
- 1
Pick The Winners
Each NFL week features a slate of games. Pick the straight-up winner of every game — no point spreads involved.
- 2
One Pick Per Game
You submit exactly one selection per game. Changing your pick before kickoff replaces the previous one — picks are saved automatically.
- 3
Chicago Featured Game
Each week highlights one Chicago game. It counts just like every other pick — it's simply spotlighted for the community.
- 4
Locks At Kickoff
Each game locks the moment it kicks off. A live-ticking clock enforces this in the app, and the server independently validates every save — once a game has started, that pick is final.
- 5
Scoring
Every correct pick is worth one point. Incorrect or missed picks earn zero. Your weekly total is the sum of your correct picks.
- 6
Weekly Results
Once all games in a week are final, the leaderboard ranks every player by weekly points. Results and season standings are synced and scored automatically each week.
- 7
Season Championship
Points accumulate across the season. The player with the most total points once every week is complete takes home the season trophy.
