Pool Rules

To enter picks, fill in the entry form by selecting the outcome of each game. Point Spreads are used to determine a correct pick.

The point spreads used will be those published by MGM (betMGM) online on Wednesday the week of the games at Vegas NFL Odds . In the event no spread(s) are available for a game(s) on Wednesday then Thursday’s spread(s) will be used for those games ONLY. If there is no spread for a game by Thursday, the NFL Administrator will set the spread to a half point for the Home Team for the game(s) in question. There will be NO "no line games". If there is a TRUE Even Line the spread will be set to a half point for the Home Team. The spreads will be posted by Wednesday on the web site. If for any reason the spreads are not available on the NFL Pool web site at the time picks are entered, IT IS STILL THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PLAYERS TO MAKE SURE THEY REFERENCE THE SPREADS SITE MENTIONED ABOVE TO DETERMINE THE APPROXIMATE POINT SPREADS UNTIL THEY ARE ENTERED ON THE NFL POOL WEBSITE.

A Weekly Prize is awarded for the player who has the most correct picks for the regular season week.

The winner for each week will be the player with the most correct picks. If two or more players are tied, the pot will be divided equally among them.

Making and Changing Entries

When filling in an entry form, you do not have to make a pick for each game. This is helpful if there are early games scheduled for a given Regular Season week (games played on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday). You may make your picks for these games beforehand and complete the rest before the Sunday Cutoff Time.

Regular Season Games are automatically locked out on the entry form as of 10AM PST Sunday . Early games are locked at the start of the individual game. Playoff Games are automatically locked out as of the 1st Playoff Game of the Week (e.g. on Saturday) .

Note: times displayed on the schedule are EASTERN TIME.

You may change your pick for any game up until the time that game is locked.

Entries must be completed on time. Once a game is locked, you may not change your pick for it. If you did not make a pick for a particular game, it is counted as a loss.

If you have trouble accessing the site, logging in or completing your entry, please contact the NFL Pool Administrator for help. If there are technical issues near lockout times for games then a timestamped email with your picks (print screens are helpful) should be sent to NFL Pool Administrator
