NFL Pick 2 Pool

Two picks each active week. Every NFL team can be used only once.

The NFL Pick 2 Pool combines weekly winner picks with season-long strategy. Players select two teams they believe will win during 16 of the NFL's 18 regular-season weeks. Each NFL team may be selected only once during the season, and every player must declare two BYE weeks. Create or join a pool today.

How an NFL Pick 2 Pool Works

  • Pick two NFL teams during each active week.
  • Each winning selection earns 1 point.
  • A losing selection or tie earns 0 points.
  • Once you select a team, you cannot use that team again during the regular season.
  • Declare exactly two BYE weeks during the 18-week NFL regular season.
  • No team selections are made during a declared BYE week.
  • The player with the most total points at the end of the season wins.

Strategy Matters

  • Save strong NFL teams for weeks when the schedule becomes more difficult.
  • Choose your two BYE weeks carefully instead of automatically using them early.
  • Balance short-term wins against the need to preserve good teams for later weeks.
  • You may select both teams playing in the same game as a conservative strategy. In a normal game, one selection wins and the other loses, producing 1 point.

Key Features

  • Two team selections per active week.
  • Season-long tracking of previously used teams.
  • Two player-selected BYE weeks.
