Note from commissioner
UpdatedEverybody deserves a second chance
Whether you missed our opening-week contest or your first entry was eliminated, you’re back in the game.
Starting in Week 6, select one NFL winner each week and try to outlast the Acme Sports community.
Entry is free. The final surviving entry wins:
- Six months of Acme Sports Plus
- An Acme Sports prize pack
- Recognition in our regular-season recap
How it works
- Select one NFL team to win each week.
- You may use each team only once.
- A loss or tie eliminates your entry.
- Picks must be submitted by Sunday at 1:00 PM ET.
- The contest continues through the end of the regular season.
A shorter season does not mean an easier path. With fewer elite teams available, every selection matters.
Your second chance starts now. Good luck!
