What is a prognostication pool?
It can be a one-time thing or a weekly contest featuring your favorite team, or perhaps pick the top match-up of the week. The idea is to successfully predict the outcome of a series of questions based on the anticipated results of a particular football contest. Questions can be as simple as who will win the game and as obscure as which quarterback will post the highest passer rating. Each question, generally anywhere from 10-20 total, gives the participant the opportunity to register one point each by correctly predicting a certain outcome. The player who makes the most correct predictions is that game’s winner, or you can accumulate points over an entire season to determine a champion.

James,
Thanks for the great article. I’m always looking for a new twist on football pools and here’s the latest one I found – Last 2 Left. It’s pretty cool in that you have to predict the 2 teams that will reach the Super Bowl. But the neat thing is that you do one pick at at time throughout the season. I like the fact that it doesn’t become a second job. They have public game you can check out at http://www.last2left.com
