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 ).

Posted Jan 22, 2017 at 9:53 PM 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. Fred
