What is an NFL Loser Pool?
An NFL Loser Pool (not to be confused with an Elimination/Survivor pool where you pick losers instead of winners) is a new one on BenchSports. It involves picking one team each week to lose their game. Each team has a corresponding point value relative to their finish the previous season and you're trying to earn as many points as possible through the season. It's not one of the most common formats available, but it is very popular among those that have tried it.
How Does an NFL Loser Pool Work?
Participating in an NFL Loser Pool involves the following:
- Each NFL team is assigned a corresponding point value for the season
- The point value for each team aligns with where they drafted (or would have drafted) in the first round of the most recent NFL Draft.
- Pick one team per week you feel will lose their match-up
- If the team you chose loses, you earn the corresponding point value for that team as your score for the week
- If the team you choose wins, you get 0 points for the week
- The entry with the most points at the end of the season wins
