SALT LAKE CITY — The NFL season is around the corner, and with it comes the return of KSL.com Sports’ Pro Football Pick’em for the 2025 season.
For those familiar with the College Football Pick’em, you’ll see a similar approach to picking NFL games. It’s simple: Pick the winning score for five games that are chosen weekly by the KSL.com Sports staff.
The participant who picks the winning team and is closest to the final game score will earn the maximum number of points (50) allowed, and everyone else will be graded on how close they are to the final score. The maximum game score will increase to 100 points for playoff games at the end of the season.
During playoff season, there will be 13 games to predict, with the final matchup being the Super Bowl on Feb. 8, 2026, at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
