First Annual · NFL Regular Season
The JuJu Cup
Where Winners Win & Losers Lose!
A weekly straight-up pick’em pool. Every game on the slate, no spreads, one point per correct pick — and one “Hail Mary” a week to call a tie for three. Most points when the last Monday night game ends takes the week and $20. Most games called right across the season takes the Cup and $200. $20 buys you the whole thing.
Invite only — 2 players are in. You need a code from the commissioner.
The whole rulebook
Eight rules. That is the entire pool. If you can click a logo you can play.
01
Pick every game, straight up
Every NFL regular-season game, every week. No point spreads, no fantasy points, no rosters. Just click the team you think wins.
02
Picks lock at 6:00 PM ET
The deadline is 6:00 PM Eastern on the day of the week’s first game — usually Thursday, sometimes not. After that nothing changes. No exceptions.
03
Everything opens at 6:01
One minute after the lock, every sheet in the league goes public. Until then nobody sees anybody else’s picks, including the commissioner.
04
Monday night is the tiebreaker
Call the combined points total of the final Monday night game (both, if there are two). Closest guess breaks a tie for the week.
05
One point a game — or three
A correct pick is one point. A game that ends in a tie pays nothing to anyone who picked a side — the only way a tie pays is calling it outright, one “Hail Mary” a week, worth 3 if it lands. Most points when the last Monday night whistle blows takes the week.
06
Every week is worth $20
Whoever finishes the week on the most points takes $20 out of the pot. Eighteen weeks, eighteen envelopes, and the Monday night total settles it if two of you finish level.
07
The Cup goes to games won
Not weeks won — games. Whoever calls the most games right across the whole season is the champion, so 200 games and a single weekly win beats 180 games and five of them. Consistency is the whole point.
08
$20 for the season
One buy-in, eighteen weeks, no instalments. The weekly envelopes come out of the pot and the champion takes $200 in cash. Regular season only — the preseason is not real football.
Live win probability
As each game goes final the pool re-simulates the rest of the week twelve thousand times and tells you exactly who is winning, who is alive, and which fourth-quarter drive decides it.
A commissioner with opinions
Every Monday night an AI moderator writes the week up — the upsets, the coin-flip calls that landed, and a full accounting of whoever finished last. It does not soften anything.
Reminders you cannot ignore
The Commissioner counts down in the league chat at 24 hours, 6 hours and 1 hour before the lock. At the one-hour mark, anyone with an empty sheet gets named in the room. Consider it motivation.
Eighteen weeks. One cup.
Eighteen weekly envelopes, a season-long table counting every game you called right, and one name on the trophy.
