NFL Pick'em Pools
Pick every game. Against the spread, straight up, or best bet.
Every player picks every game. You set the spreads — or take the feed's — and the site grades, ranks, and breaks ties while you watch football. The rule your group would riot over losing is a setting, not a workaround.
Tilt never touches the money
Against the spread
- Won by
- Most games right against the number each week; season standings add the weeks up.
- You control
- The spreads (yours, any number — or the feed's), the lock time, what a push does, who sees picks and when.
- Tilt does
- Freezes a spread the moment anyone picks it, grades off final scores, ranks the week, applies your Monday-night tiebreaker.
Straight up
- Won by
- Most winners called each week.
- You control
- Lock time, disclosure, tiebreaker, entries per player.
- Tilt does
- Same grading and standings, minus the number. No push rule to set.
Best Bet COMING
- Won by
- Highest confidence total. Rank every pick most-to-least sure; a right pick scores its rank.
- You control
- how many games each player ranks, how the points ladder works — top pick worth the most down to 1, or a fixed ladder like 5·4·3·2·1 — and whether picks are against the spread or straight up.
- Tilt does
- Enforces one rank per number, grades the ladder, ranks the week.
If your pick'em pool was on OfficeFootballPool, the format survived the merge but your settings may not have — spreads, locks, and tiebreakers reset to a preset when the products consolidated. 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 guys? Your spreads or the book's? When do picks lock? Weekly money, season money, both? And the one rule your group would riot over if it changed.
Can I use my own spreads instead of a sportsbook's?
Yes. Type any number per game. A spread freezes the first time a player picks against it. Or set the pool to take the feed's line and never think about it. Or something else — tell us in the email and it gets built that way.
What happens on a push?
Your call — most groups count it as a loss, some as no result. Half-point spreads make the question go away. Your group's rule, whatever it is, is the setting.
Can players see each other's picks?
Only when you say. Hide everything until Sunday's lock, or reveal each game's picks at its kickoff. Custom reveal times work too.
What if someone forgets to pick?
They choose an autopick mode at signup and the site fills their slate at lock. Prefer zeros for a missed week? That's a setting.
How do weekly ties get broken?
Monday-night total points, entered with the picks. No Monday game? You name the replacement. Different tiebreaker? Tell me what you use.
Does Tilt collect entry fees?
No, ever. You set the fee, hold the pot, pay the winners. The site tracks who's paid. Or turn tracking off and keep money off the site entirely.
