NFL (2025 Season)

[hobsini2]

I am resurrecting the Against the Spread Pool on Facebook if anyone is interested in joining. It is a free pool for fun and bragging rights. Here's the rules:

You pick the spread winner and you get a fixed amount of points based on the type of game and when it is played.

Spreads:
1. Game spreads are set by Draft Kings by Tuesday evening. If the game does not have a spread by then, I will use either ESPN or CBS Sportsline to get a spread.
2.  You pick the winner of the game based on the spread. For example, Dallas at Philadelphia is currently Philly by -6.5. If you pick Philadelphia, the Eagles need to win by 7 points to win. If you pick Dallas, they get 6 points to play with even if they lose the game.

Game Values based on type:
Division games - 3 points
Conference games - 2 points
Non-Conference games - 1 point

Play day/time values (Times are central):
Sunday at Noon and 3:00 PM - face value (single)
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday all day & Sunday 715 PM - double value
Saturday and Monday all day - triple value
International games - double value

The most points a game can be worth is 9 points, Divisional on Monday Night.

3. Pool champion is determined by the number of points earned. If there is a tie, number of weeks won is first followed by overall win loss record.
4. Deadline for picks:
Picks need to be in by 1 hour before the first game of the day. For example, all Sunday games need to be in by 11:00 AM Central Time to count.
This still allows people to make picks for the week even if they miss the Thursday deadline.
5.  There is no fee for the pool. I am doing my best to keep it free and fun.
