What is an NFL Thanksgiving pool?
Thanksgiving pools focus on the three NFL games played on Thanksgiving Day. Entrants pick fantasy positions from each team, and the best fantasy total wins.
Position-based picks
Entrants can pick positions such as QB, RB, WR, TE, K, or DEF.
No app required
Participants can submit entries and follow standings from any browser.
