NFL pick'em pool rules
An NFL pick'em pool is the Sunday-defining group game: every week you pick the winner of each NFL matchup, points stack across the season, and the leaderboard settles who actually knows football. It's a pick'em pool scoped to the 18-week NFL grind.
The core rules
- Pick every game. Each week you choose a winner for all the matchups on the slate, Thursday through Monday night.
- Score the winners. Correct picks earn points; most points wins. Run weekly prizes, a season-long race, or both.
- It stacks all season. 18 weeks plus the playoffs - a cold Week 3 can be erased by a December heater.
- The leaderboard is the law. No spreadsheets, no disputes - the standings settle every argument.
Scoring variations
- Straight up. Just pick winners - simplest and most popular.
- Against the spread. Pick after the points so loading up on the best teams every week isn't a free ride.
- Confidence. Weight each pick by how sure you are - more strategy, bigger swings. (See the NFL confidence pool format.)
- Survivor. Want it brutal? One pick a week, lose once and you're out. (See survivor pool.)
Formats & tiebreakers
Run it for a friend group, a fantasy league's side game, or the office. Pair it with a college football pick'em for a full football weekend. Ties settle on head-to-head record, a final-week showdown, or a single predicted-score question.

FAQ
What is an NFL pick'em pool?+
An NFL pick'em pool is a group game where everyone picks the winner of each NFL game every week. Correct picks earn points that stack across the season, and the highest total tops the leaderboard.
Straight-up, against-the-spread, or confidence - which should I pick?+
Straight-up is simplest and best for casual groups. Against-the-spread keeps it competitive by neutralizing the favorites. Confidence adds weighting and strategy. You can run whichever fits your group - and each is a click to set up.
How is it different from a survivor pool?+
In a pick'em you pick every game each week and accumulate points all season. In a survivor pool you pick just one team a week and a single loss eliminates you. Pick'em rewards consistency; survivor is sudden-death.
How many players can join?+
As many as you want. It's free for groups up to 50 players, with larger pools on paid plans. NFL pick'em pools are more fun the bigger and louder the field.
Is it free?+
Yes - free for groups up to 50 players. It's bragging rights, not betting: no wagering or payouts are built in. Bigger pools and custom branding are available on paid plans.
