Welcome to my NFL Margin Pool!
A brief reminder: You pick one team each week to win. If they do, you get the number of points they won by (i.e., the margin of victory). You must get your pick in by the weekly deadline - before the first game each Sunday. Early games must be picked before they start. All picks will be hidden until the game has begun (for early games) or the until the first game on Sunday. Good luck to everyone. If you have any questions, please contact me at bill@gurnanis.com.

- Participants are allowed
as many entries as they want in the contest.
-
The pool starts with Week 1 and runs through the NFL regular season only.
-
Each pool member chooses
one
NFL team each week .
If their pick wins, they receive the number of points their team won by (winning margin). A loss WILL deduct the winning margin from from the member's total points for the season.
-
NFL teams can only be picked once once during the entire season.
-
If a game your picked team is playing in results in a tie, your pick will be marked as correct.
-
The final pick deadline each week is Sunday at 1pm ET*. If you want to pick an earlier game you must do so by kickoff of that game.
-
If a member does not enter a pick for a specific week,
no automatic pick will be made.
-
If a game is cancelled, postponed to a future week, or otherwise not played (e.g. forfeited), members who picked the game (and are unable to change it before the pick deadline) will take a loss, unless your pool commissioner has instituted an additional rule below that they will be applying manually.
* If there are no 1pm ET games on Sunday, the final pick deadline will be the start of the first game on Sunday after 1pm ET. This is usually only applicable during the playoffs.
