Power Points — pick a team, win by the margin
Each week, players pick one game and one team. Win and you score the margin of victory; lose and you score the negative. No team twice — the highest cumulative margin at season’s end wins.
How it runs
Start to finish.
01
Create the pool
Set the season, choose straight or against-the-spread margins, and pick your missed-week rule. Load the NFL schedule with one click.
02
Players make weekly picks
Each week everyone picks one game and one team — but you can’t reuse a team all season, so save your best matchups.
03
Score the margin
If your team wins, you score the margin of victory. If it loses, you score the negative of the margin. Miss a week and take the week’s worst losing margin (or zero).
04
Highest total wins
Cumulative margins add up all season on a live leaderboard — the biggest total at the end takes the pot.
Why groups like it
A decision every week.
Strategy every single week
One team, one shot, no repeats — do you burn a big favorite now or save them for a blowout later? Every pick is a decision.
Nobody’s ever eliminated
Unlike survivor, a bad week just dents your total — everyone stays in it to the final whistle, so the pool stays fun for the whole season.
