UPSET CHALLENGE: THE GAME

The RotoExperts.com Upset Challenge gives you an opportunity to predict the three most unlikely outcomes during each week of the NFL’s regular season schedule. Taking the biggest risks with the most unexpected winners each week can net you the most points in any given week and overall throughout the season.

Both iPhone and web users can play against each other and it's easy to Invite a Friend to join your League.

Each week during the NFL regular season, each NFL team is assigned an “Upset Value” based on the odds of them pulling off an unexpected victory. Values are calculated and determined by the RotoExperts.com staff. Each NFL game is carefully evaluated, and both teams in each game are assigned values in comparison to other NFL games on the schedule for the week. Values are directly tied to the amount of games played in a given week. So if no teams are on a bye, teams will have an Upset Value of anywhere from 1 to 32 points, because 32 teams are playing in that week.

Examples:

If Detroit is at Pittsburgh, and the RotoExperts staff determines that a Lions win would be the biggest upset of the week, the Lions are assigned an Upset Value of 32 points. Hence, the Steelers will be deemed to have the easiest chance to win that week, and will have an Upset Value of one point. If the Raiders beating Dallas is determined to be the second-most shocking upset of the week, Oakland would be assigned an Upset Value of 31 points, and the Cowboys would receive an Upset Value of two points. All teams playing in the week will be evaluated for Upset Value and ranked accordingly until all teams are assigned an Upset Value.

Making Picks:

Each week, you must pick three teams to use in the Upset Challenge. If
your team wins their game, you receive full credit for their Upset Value.
So if you pick the Lions to beat the Steelers, and the Lions win, you receive 32 points.
If the Jets have an Upset Value of 18 for beating the Giants, you receive 18 points if the Jets win. If the Jets lose, you
receive zero points for making the selection. Every week, pick three teams to pull an upset or simply earn a victory, and if they win, you get full credit for the Upset Values assigned to them. If they lose, you
receive zero points for the selection. If there is a tie, the team you selected
receives half of their Upset Value for the given week.

At the end of the week, the Upset Values of your winning teams are tallied together to comprise your points total for that week. So if you picked Detroit (32), the Raiders (31) and the Jets (18), and the Lions
and Jets win, you receive 50 points for the week. Your points are tallied together each week until you achieve a final regular season score after Week 17.

Picks must be made no later than five minutes before kickoff of any selected game. Once a game starts, that game is locked and is no longer eligible to be an Upset Challenge selection for that week.
