How to play the CBS Sacramento Football Knockout Pool

The football season is right around the corner, which means it's time to brush up on your knowledge. As you're preparing to cheer on your favorite team this fall, why not put that knowledge to the test in our Pro Football Knockout Pool?

The game is live on our site and you can register to play right here. Once you sign up, the game is simple. Pick the team that you think is a lock to win that week. If they win, you stay in and pick a new team next week. Repeat that process throughout the whole season and you'll have a shot to win $1,000!

If the team you pick loses, you're knocked into the Second Chance Pool with a shot at $250. Continue picking the team you think is most likely to win each week. If you lose again, you're knocked out of the running. This is a national contest.
