Detailed Pool Rules
For a full explanation of the rules follow this link.

The NFL Pool will run for the full season.You may have as many User IDs as you would like but you are allowed only one entry per week per ID.

To enter picks, fill in the pick 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.

You will also be asked to guess the total points scored in the Monday Night Football game* which is used as a Weekly Winner tie breaker. A Weekly Prize is awarded for the player who has the most correct picks for the week.

*Should there be multiple games on Monday or the Monday Night Football game is scheduled for a different night, the last game scheduled for that week will be used as the tie breaker instead.

The winner for each week will be the player with the most correct picks. In the event of a tie, the player who guessed closest (over or under) to the actual point total of the tie breaker game will win. Should two or more players still be tied, the pot will be divided equally among them.

Making and Changing Entries

When filling in a Pick Entry form, you do not have to make a pick for ALL games before SUBMITTING. All that is required is that you include a point total for the tie breaker. This is helpful if there are early games scheduled for a given week (games played on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday). You may make your picks for these games beforehand and complete the rest later.

Games are automatically locked out on the Pick Entry form according to their scheduled start date and time. Each game is locked at the start of the individual game.

Note: times displayed on the schedule are EASTERN TIME.

You may also change your tie breaker point total up until the time the last game of the week starts/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
