Selections in which individuals rank the games of a particular National Football League week, assigning a point value to each contest based on the selector’s confidence in predicting the correct outcome. For instance, in a week with 16 games, the selection deemed most likely to be correct receives 16 points, the next most likely receives 15, and so on, down to 1 point for the game considered least certain.
This method introduces a strategic element beyond simply predicting winners and losers. The allocation of points demands careful consideration of each game’s perceived probability, requiring an assessment of team strengths, weaknesses, and potential for upsets. Historically, participation in these selections has fostered increased engagement with the sport, prompting deeper analysis of game dynamics and team performance.
