Play NFL Maxout</h2><p style="font-size: 1.1em">A Gridiron Games original, NFL Maxout is the addicting new football pool that combines elements of NFL Survivor with a unique scoring twist. Players compete by selecting one team each week that they believe will win, with the kicker being a team may only be selected once for the entire year. If a player’s team wins they receive the amount of points that team scored in the game. If their team loses, they receive 0 points for the week. Whichever player has the most points at the end of the year wins! There are also a number of variations you can introduce into your pool to make NFL Maxout even more challenging and fun and we offer them all here on Gridiron Games.</p><div class=col-md-3 style="margin-bottom: 20px"><p style="font-size: 1.2em"><i class="fa fa-football-ball"></i>Against the Spread</p></div><div class=col-md-3 style="margin-bottom: 20px"><p style="font-size: 1.2em"><i class="fa fa-football-ball"></i>Custom Elimination</p></div><div class=col-md-3 style="margin-bottom: 20px"><p style="font-size: 1.2em"><i class="fa fa-football-ball"></i>Multiple Entries</p></div><div class=col-md-3 style="margin-bottom: 20px"><p style="font-size: 1.2em"><i class="fa fa-football-ball"></i>Flexible Start Weeks</p></div></div></div><a id=create-pool-maxout-1 class=ga-event-clicked-link href=/create-new-pool/ ><button class=game-button>Create Your NFL Maxout Pool Now!</button></a><p style="text-align: center;font-size: 1.1em;margin: 10px 0px 0px">Looking to join an existing pool? <a id=join-pool-maxout-1 class=ga-event-clicked-link href=/join-existing-pool/ >Join here</a>.</p></div><h2 class="game-title" style="margin: 40px 0px">A Brand New Type of Pool Not Offered Anywhere Else</h2><div style="padding: 0px 20px 20px"><p style="text-align: center;font-size: 1.2em;margin-bottom: 40px">Running an NFL Maxout pool can be a lot of work.
