Create your 2024 NFL office football pool, from the pickem options below

We host 11 different formats of pickem pools for the regular season games, playoff games and even College Top 25 and Bowl games.

Challenge you and your friends to a weekly football pool. Everyone makes picks each week. View each other's picks and standings after each game.
Accrue points based on the outcome of each game. Don't worry, we do all of the calculations..

The object of the game is to accumulate as many points as you can each week, for the entire football season. On our standings page, you can view pool standings by week or groupings of weeks or by the entire season, at any time.

• Each week NFL games will be put into that week's picks sheet.
• Your poolies make their expert nfl picks each week.
• We keep track of game scores and calculate everyone's pool standings.
• You and your buddies check the site to see how you did and maybe talk a little smack.

If you want to make it a little more interesting, to test your picks against espn nfl picks, you can have what we call a combo football pool, which includes all NFL games plus Top 25 college games. Week 1 of our combo pool only has college games, since the NFL season starts 1 week afterwards. Once both leagues get going, there are typically 35 or more games, per week.


For against-the-spread scoring methods, we use half-point spreads, so, there are never any ties. We've found that half-point spreads make understanding how to pick teams against the spread a lot easier. We typically get spread information from reputable outlets, like espn.com, actionnetwork.com, OddsShark.com and VegasInsider.com. Please note for games with teams that have key injuries, where Vegas is slow/reluctant to release a spread. This scenario doesn't typically happen very often, but, when a key player, like a starting QB or primary RB sustains an injury and there is no information available about whether that player will play the next game or not, then the release of the spread for that game may be delayed several days. In the event that a spread for a game is delayed a few days, we may intervene and come up with a spread, ourselves. We prefer not to do that, but, if a spread is not announced by Wednesday night or Thursday morning, before a Thursday night game, we'll put one in there.
Please note, that once a spread is put into the system, it can't be changed, because people may have already made their picks based on that spread.
We tweet/post new games and spreads, amongst other things, via our twitter account and our facebook page. Follow us to stay abreast of the latest changes.

Tie Breaker:

Total Points of Last Game of the Week

Tie breakers help determine weekly winners, as well as season long pool champions. The season long tie breaker is the sum of all of your tie breaker predictions, for each week, compared to the sum of the actual values for each week.
ie. [Total of all actual tie breaker values] - [Total of your predicted tie breaker values] = [Season long tie breaker difference]
Example, using a 3 week season:

Tie Breaker Values

Week	Player A's Predictions	Player B's Predictions	Actual Values
1	41	39	42
2	35	21	38
3	65	30	30
Total:	141	90	110
Difference:	(141 - 110) = 21	(110 - 90) = 20

Findings:

• Player A's tie breaker predictions were closer than Player B's predictions in weeks 1 and 2.
• Player B's tie breaker predictions were closer than Player A's predictions in week 3.
• Player B's season-long tie breaker was closer to the actual amount, than Players A's season-long tie breaker.

Conclusion:

In the example above, Player B would have won the season-long tie breaker battle, even though Player A was closer in 2 out of the 3 weeks.

The NFL season typically starts the first week of September: Thursday, September 5, 2024.
Our pro pools start with the first game of the season, but, you can start your pool at any time. You can choose to enter player picks for missed weeks or skip any number of missed weeks for the final pool standings. So, even if your expert nfl picks don't end up as well as espn nfl picks, you'll be able to drop any number of weeks you choose.

• You choose how many weeks to compare, for the season standings.
• You choose your pool's weekly picks deadline.

Pool administrators can abdicate their admin prividges, to avoid any chance or thought of impropriety, from other poolies. We ask that the pool administrator send us an email requesting us to remove his admin priviledges after all the settings have been configured and all expected players have joined. This is so no other admin tasks are required.
