Spreads are posted every Tuesday at 10:30 AM Mountain Time (MT) during the NFL season. NFL Against-the-Spread (ATS) lines lock every Thursday at 12:00 PM Eastern Time (ET) for that week. This schedule ensures participants have ample time to review and finalize their picks before the lines lock.
Survivor Pool Pick Deadlines
In Survivor Pools, the pick deadline is editable and can be adjusted each week by the contest’s commissioner. However, settings in Survivor Pools do not automatically adjust based on the week’s first game (e.g., if the first game isn’t on Thursday).
Steps to Edit Survivor Pick Deadlines
If you are a Commissioner:
Navigate to the Commissioner Tab.
Select Active Contests.
Click Manage on the contest you wish to modify.
Go to Contest Settings → Advanced Settings.
Adjust the pick deadline. Note: Any changes made will take effect starting the following week. For example, if you edit the deadline during Week 2, it will apply to Week 3’s pick deadline.
