week is based on the outcome of their game as well as the point spread of the game. \u00a0If they win, you add 20 points plus the spread to your running total for the season.\u00a0 If the team you selected is the favourite for the game, your score will be 20 minus the spread.\u00a0 If they&#8217;re the underdog, your score will be 20 plus the spread.\u00a0 If your selection doesn&#8217;t win the game, you get 0 points for the week.\u00a0 At the end of the regular season, the highest score wins.<\/p>\n<h2>20 Point Football Pool Options<\/h2>\n<h3>Pick Locking<\/h3>\n<p>You can have your picks lock at 1 pm Sunday (or whenever the main slate of games starts for the week), or have each game lock at it&#8217;s specified kick off time.<\/p>\n<h3>Default Picks<\/h3>\n<p>Set up one of our
