NFL pool guide · Weighted pick'em
Run an NFL confidence pool without the spreadsheet
In a confidence pool (also called weighted pick'em) you pick every game and then rank your picks by how sure you are. With 14 games, your surest pick is worth 14 points and your coin flip is worth 1. A right pick earns its rank.
It's the pool that rewards knowing which games you know. It's also the one that's painful to score by hand. The app checks that every point value is used once, fills in a starting order by the spread, and adds it all up as games finish.

- Rank your picks: a right pick is worth the points you put on it, from 1 up to the number of games.
- A tie earns half its points.
- A missed pick counts as wrong.
- Early games lock at kickoff; the rest lock Sunday at 1:00 PM ET.
- Most points after Week 18 wins.

Questions
How are points assigned?
Each game gets a different value from 1 up to the number of games that week. Weeks with fewer games use fewer points.
Can I set my points automatically?
Yes. One tap orders them by the spread, biggest favorite on top, and you can change any of them.
When do picks lock?
Each game at its own kickoff by default. You can instead lock Sunday's and Monday's games together at 1:00 PM ET Sunday, or everything at the week's first kickoff.
