A simple way to run an NFL office football pool
Choose the week's sheet
Open the permanent weekly page and use that exact version for the group so everyone sees the same matchups and line timestamp.
Set a deadline before kickoff
Pick a clear submission deadline, usually before the first game of the week. Write down how you will handle late picks, pushes, canceled games, and line changes.
Have everyone choose one side
Participants mark either the away team or home team in each matchup. The printed spread is used to determine the ATS result for that sheet.
Score the week
A common format is one point for each correct pick. If two players finish tied, use the final listed game's predicted combined score as the tiebreaker.
