So I didn't want to start a thread for this, and figured you guys have probably done something similar, so I was looking for a little advice. I'm starting a head-to-head pick'em league at my work this season, and i'm trying to get a rules sheet typed up. I can't, for the life of me, figure out a good metric to use for tie breaks though. It won't matter really during the first 14 weeks, but the last 3 are going to be "playoffs". The best idea I've come up with is picking the total score on whoever the 49ers are playing (I'm in the SF bay area, that's why the 49ers). Closest without going over would win. So if the game is like 17-10, 27 would be the correct guess.
To be clear, most of the people I work with are not familiar with the NFL outside of their favorite/local teams. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
