Week 01

Read the rules:
HOW TO ENTER:
- You must be logged in to enter.
- 2024 TideFans Football Pick'em (there is a direct link to the 2024 CFB Regular Season Pickem pool in the PICKEM dropdown on the menu bar soon)
- Click on the red "JOIN POOL" button on the top right sidebar if this is your first week this year to enter or "MANAGE PICKS" if you've entered the pool in a previous week of the 2024 season.
- Pick all of your picks and the two tiebreakers.
- For tiebreakers, enter the # of YARDS for each one. Nothing words or anything else - just the # of yards.
- You can change your Pick'em Picks at any point up this first week up until each game's deadline at which point the week's picks will be locked and you can't make any new picks or change any picks.
- "MANAGE YOUR PICKS" prior to the deadline by clicking the red "MANAGE YOUR PICKS" button on the top right sidebar.
- You must be logged in to enter.
- There is no cost to enter.
- ALL picks must be entered before the stated deadline
- There are at least 10 picks each week. Some weeks we may have more but never less (unless there are not enough games with odds available). A typical week will have 20 picks.
- There are 2 tiebreakers each week. One is the Most passing yards by a player in the SEC for that week and the other is the Most rushing yards by SEC player for the week. ENTER THE # OF YARDS! (If there is not an SEC game that week, then enter the most passing/rushing yards by player from games listed in the Pick'em games that week.
- Each game is worth 1 point if you win the pick (you are picking against the spread)
- PICKING AGAINST THE SPREAD
- Remember: Picks are against the spread. Picking against the spread example:
- Kudzu University is playing Weedkiller College
- Kudzu U. has -4.5 (minus 4.5) beside it meaning Kudzu U. is predicted to win by at least 4.5 points.
- Thus, if you picked Kudzu, they must win the game by at least 5 points before you earn the win point.
- Even if Weedkiller loses but does so by less than 5, you don't get the win point.
- A game with a positive spread (i.e. 4.5) means that team is predicted to LOSE by 4.5.
- Remember: Picks are against the spread. Picking against the spread example:
- If a game is not played due to any reason that week, then that game will be considered a 0-0 tie with no winners - even if it is made up at a later date.
- Ties for any final end of season prizes will be broken based on lowest cumulative weekly rankings (i.e. if there were 4 weeks and one of the tied leaders finished #1,#1,#3,#5 the cumulative would be 10 and the other finished #2,#2,#2,#2, the second tied leader would win with a cumulative total of 8)

Good luck everyone, and the 1st week (designated WEEK 01) of this 2024 TideFans Football Pick'em season is up NOW so go and join. RTR!
