A buddy of mine has been running this pool for over 10 years, and he gave the OK for me to extend an invitation to everyone here. PM me your email address if you want to play.
The beauty of this pool is that you have action each week, including the postseason, yet you only make your picks once. The rules are simple: You pay $25, which entitles you to buy up to $25 worth of teams which you cheer on for the entire season. You could pick a minimum of 4 or as many as a 12 of the 32 NFL teams, depending on the price.
You get one point for every regular season victory, three points for each play-off victory (even first round play-off byes) and five points for each title won (division, conference, Super Bowl). Any of the four wild card teams will receive one point each for winning the wild card positions. A Super Bowl Win will be worth 5 points (and still a 5 point title bonus) instead of 3 points for the playoff win.
There are seven winners. The player with the highest overall points total walks away with 40% of the pool; the second place finisher gets 20%; third place overall winner will get 10%; fourth place gets 8% and fifth place overall gets 6% of the total pot. I will also pay out 15% to the regular season champ and this year the bozo receives 1% of the pot. Assuming there are 100 players and a $2500 pot, the prizes amount to $1000, $500, $250, $200, $150 for first through fifth place overall. Then the Regular season winner would get $375 and $25 for the last place (Bozo) prize. Remember that all picks and money must be in before the first regular season game, which starts at 7:00 pm EDT on September 5th.
The cost of NFL teams
Team Cost
Broncos, Cardinals, Panthers, Patriots 7.50
Bengals, Chiefs, Seahawks, Vikings 5.00
Packers, Redskins, Steelers, Texans 4.00
Bills, Colts, Falcons, Jets 3.50
Eagles, Lions, Rams, Saints 3.00
Bears, Dolphins, Giants, Raiders 2.50
49ers, Buccaneers, Jaguars, Ravens 2.00
Browns, Chargers, Cowboys, Titans 1.50
Rule of Thumb: If you can afford to buy another team you MUST do so! So Spend as much of the $25 entry fee as you can without going over $25!
