How to Play NFL Pick X During the Playoffs

Updated over 3 months ago

NFL Pick X is back for the Playoffs — with a few exciting twists! Whether you’ve played it all season or you’re just joining in, here’s everything you need to know about the available formats and how they work.


🏆 1. Multi-Round Pick X

Overview:
This is the classic Pick X format you’ve known all season — extended across the entire NFL Playoffs.

How It Works:

  • Each week, pick the winners of multiple NFL playoff games.

  • Your correct picks earn points and accumulate throughout the playoffs.

  • The player with the most points at the end of the final round wins!

Perfect For:
Fans who enjoy following the full playoff bracket and want to make strategic picks from Wild Card Weekend through the Big Game.


⚖️ 2. Multi-Round Pick X with Weighted Scoring

Overview:
First seen in College Bowl Pick X, this format adds strategy by letting Commissioners assign different point values to each round.

How It Works:

  • Just like standard Pick X, you’ll select winners for each round.

  • But here, rounds have varying weights. For example:

    • Wild Card wins = 1 point

    • Divisional wins = 2 points

    • Championship wins = 3 points

    • Super Bowl = 5 points

  • Picking the later rounds correctly can help you surge ahead, even if you missed earlier picks.

Perfect For:
Players who like to play the long game and weigh the importance of each stage of the playoffs.


3. Multi-Round Pick X with Best Pick

Overview:
This twist is all about trusting your instincts. If you have a strong feeling about a particular game, this is your chance to earn bonus points.

How It Works:

  • Each week, in addition to your standard picks, you’ll choose one Best Pick.

  • If your Best Pick is correct, you’ll earn extra points (e.g., double points for that game).

  • Choose wisely — one great pick can make a big difference on the leaderboard!

Perfect For:
Confident pickers who love to take a bold stance on key matchups.
