Scenario 1: Both users pick different teams

-Whoever picks the correct team advances

Scenario 2: Both users pick the correct team:

-Tiebreaker 1: By how much. Whoever is closer (over or under) advances. (EX: User A picks Jets by 3, User B picks Jets by 7. If Jets win by 4 or less, User A wins. If the Jets win by 6 or more, User B wins. If the Jets win by 5, then it moves to the next tiebreaker)

---Tiebreaker 2: If the users are equidistant from how much the team wins by, then the next tiebreaker will be by how many points scored in the game.

----Tiebreaker 3: If the users are equidistant from how many points scored in the game, then the next tiebreaker will be how many passing yards both teams will get combined.
-----Tiebreaker 4: If the users are equidistant from the amount of passing yards, the next tiebreaker will be rushing yards in the game.
-------Tiebreaker 5: If the users are equidistant from the amount of total rushing yards, the next tiebreaker will be by greatest point differential in the game (EX: If the Jets lead by 20 at one point, and User A picks 16, and User B picks 24, there is a tie)

-------Tiebreaker 6: If the users are equidistant from the highest point differential, the next tiebreaker will be by how many turnovers there are in the game

-------Tiebreaker 7: If the users are equidistant from the number of turnovers in the game, the next tiebreaker will be Field Goal distance (EX: User A says “45 yards” User B says “47 yards” and the longest field goal is 46 yards, then it’s still a tie) If there are no field goals, then it will move on to the next tiebreaker

--------Tiebreaker 8: If there are no field goals, or both users are equidistant from the field goals, then the next tiebreaker will be Time of First Score. (EX: User A says 13:00 left in the first quarter, User B says 11:00 left in the first quarter. If the first score is made before 12:00 left in the first quarter, User A wins. If the first score is made after 12:00 left in the first quarter, User B wins. If the first score is made at exactly 12:00, then it moves on to the next tiebreaker
----------Tiebreaker 9: If both users are equidistant from the time of the first score, then the higher seed wins.

Scenario 3: Both users pick the wrong team:

-Tiebreaker 1: The spread. Whoever picks the lowest spread that STILL WINS, advances. Example: If User A picks Jets +3.5, and User B picks Jets +7.5; if the Jets lose by 3 or less, User A advances. If the Jets lose by 4, 5, 6, or 7 then User B advances. If the Jets lose by 8 or more, it moves on to the next tiebreaker.

---Tiebreaker 2: If neither advances by the spread, then the next tiebreaker will be by how many points are scored in the game

--------Tiebreaker 7: If the users are equidistant from the number of turnovers in the game, the next tiebreaker will be Field Goal distance (EX: User A says “45 yards” User B says “47 yards” and the longest field goal is 46 yards, then it’s still a tie)

Scenario 4: One user picks the wrong team, the other user doesn’t submit a pick:
-The user who submitted the pick automatically advances.

Scenario 5: Neither user submits pick

-The higher seed automatically advances, with a 3 point tiebreaker disadvantage for the next round (EX: If they pick the Jets by 7, and the Jets win by 7, they would be considered off by 6 If the Jets win by 6, they would be off 7 and so on. This continues to all further tiebreakers)
