***Welcome to Fools Pool Picks***
Here's what makes it fun: picking against the spread makes every pick a close call. It also makes every game more fun to watch, because in order for the team that you picked to be a win, they have to cover the spread. Here's what makes it competitive: your picks have to be better than all the other FOOLS in the pool!
My name is Shawn, and this is my pick-against-the-spread NFL football pool. My football pool is operated as a non-profit pool, meaning "the house" takes no cut, all proceeds go to winning players. Players pick the winner of each game, each week, against the spread. If the favored team wins by the amount of the spread or more, that pick counts as a win for any player that picked them. After the first kick off you will be able to see the picks of all the other players, and see the wins/losses for each player for that week as games are completed. The players with the most correct picks each week will win the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place kitty for that week. The tie breaker for each week is determined by your Tie-Breaker Total. Each player chooses which of their picks they are most confident with for 7, 4, 2, and 1 points that are combined to make their Tie-Breaker Total. Each pick can only be selected once for the player's Tie-Breaker Total.
You can see the picks for all the players each week on the PICKS page.
You can review all the winnings for each player throughout the season on the PAYOUT page.
You can see the results for all the players and picks for each week on the HOME page.
