How Does an Office Football Pool Work?
An office football pool works by you filling out a sheet of your selections for the week’s NFL or NCAA college football games and entering in a tiebreaker total and then paying for the sheet. You can play in an office football pool for as little as $5 to as high as $100. Your goal is to get the most correct picks. And if you do, you take the entire pool as your jackpot. The whole pot is given out to the winner with the most correct picks. The more players in each weekly office football pool, the more you stand to win.
You can choose between a pick’em pool and a pointspread pool. The difference being that what a pick’em pool you just have to select the winners of each game without worrying about the pointspread. With a pointspread pool, you must pick the game against the spread which can be more difficult.
Usually you can make changes to your sheets up until the first game kicks off.

If there is more than one winner, the tiebreaker total is used. The tiebreaker is whoever’s guess is closest. It does not matter if your guess is over. If there is still a tie after the tiebreaker, the pot is split amongst the tied winners.
In the weekly NFL office football pools you are selecting winners for 16 games.
In the weekly NCAA college office football pool you are selecting winners for a various number of games. In the latest office football pool there were 21 games to pick winners.
