Wins and Losses

Wins and Losses are based on your ability to pick the straight up winner of each game.

Tie Breaker

This pool uses the Monday Night game to determine the tie breaker. Each player is to guess the total number of points scored in the Monday Night game. The tie breaker value selected by each player must NOT be greater than the total of the actual points scored. In other words, rankings are based on closest to the actual score, without going over. The tie breaker is used only for the weekly rankings and not the overall rankings.

The tie breaker game is the last scheduled game for the week - typically Monday Night's game. On Mondays when 2 games are schedule - it is the last scheduled game. Should any game be rescheduled for any reason to a Monday night, the originally scheduled Monday Night game is still the tie breaker game.

Making Picks

The football pool contains a number of facilities to help you make your weekly picks:

  1. Team Record - The team's current record is displayed in brackets "ie. (2-1)".
  2. Team Standings - Opens a separate window containing the current standings. Listed by division.
  3. Injury Report - Opens a separate window containing the latest Injury Reports as posted by NFL.com.
  4. Finger (Optional) - Wet finger, stick in air and see what happens.

Eliminator Pool

Objective: Be the last player to make a mistake.

  1. Pick one team per week. (No pick and you're eliminated)
  2. Your selected team must win their game or you're eliminated.
  3. Once you have selected a team, you cannot select that team again for the remainder of the pool.
  4. Unlike the regular pool, picks can only be made for the current week - no future picks.
  5. Wins and Losses are based on actual game scores (Point Spreads not used).

Deadlines

Please make your picks before the game starts. The full NFL schedule can be found here.
