NFL Pick-5 Pools
Pick five games. Against the spread, straight up, or best bet.
Each player picks a handful of games — three, five, seven, your number — and how they're scored is yours: best record, perfect week, rollover pot, pods. Two founding pools run it today, two different ways.
Tilt never touches the money
Pick your number
- Won by
- Most right out of the games you picked each week; season standings add the weeks up.
- You control
- how many games each player picks (3, 5, 7 — or your number), spreads or straight up, when picks lock, entries per player, and whether the season splits into segments.
- Tilt does
- Grades, ranks the week, keeps segment standings if you run them.
Perfect week
- Won by
- A perfect week. 4-of-5 is a loss.
- You control
- Whole-number spreads, the tiebreak among perfect weeks, what happens when nobody's perfect.
- Tilt does
- Forces every pick at submit, grades the week as one result, tracks the streak.
Rollover pots
- Won by
- The first perfect week after a dry spell takes what's accumulated.
- You control
- How the pot builds and pays — that's yours.
- Tilt does
- When nobody goes 5-0, Tilt calls it — pot rolls to next week. You track the amount.
Pick-5 survived the OFP merge as a preset; perfect-week rules, rollover pots and pods did not. Here's what happened, from Splash's own help center.
Send the rules you actually ran — a sheet, a screenshot, last year's standings — and you get back a live pool built to them. Your group gets one invite link.
See how switching works →How many picks a week? Perfect week or best record? Your spreads or the book's? Multiple entries? Pods? And the one rule your group would riot over if it changed.
Can players enter more than once?
Yes — you set how many. Each entry picks and scores on its own. Or something else — tell us in the email and it gets built that way.
What if someone only picks four of five?
Your call: zero for the week, or grade the four. Most perfect-week pools force all five at submit. Or something else — tell us in the email and it gets built that way.
Two perfect weeks — who wins?
Monday-night total points among the perfect entries, or split. Or something else — tell us in the email and it gets built that way.
Nobody perfect this week — what happens to the pot?
Whatever your rule is. Most groups roll it forward; the leaderboard shows the live pot. Or something else — tell us in the email and it gets built that way.
Can I split the season into segments with their own pots?
Yes — week ranges you set, each with its own standings and payout. Or something else — tell us in the email and it gets built that way.
Does Tilt collect entry fees?
No, ever. You set the fee, hold the pot, pay the winners. Paid tracking on or off. Or something else — tell us in the email and it gets built that way.
