Deadline's been the same for 5 years, so as the saying goes, you snooze you lose. Well, in your case its not too damaging especially if you were going to pick a loser this week. You are still in the best position to win, though you may be surpried to hear that your odds are slightly less than 50/50 (I've been running a bookie pool for 25 years now, so trust me on this one ).

I never paid attention to the deadline-I always assumed you could pick right up until kickoff.  Is the regular season deadline 9am Pacific time?

Its always been 12pm MST. It's displayed on the picks page, and in the reminder email that goes out 24 hours before the deadline.
