Hope you had a great long weekend, but unfortunately it is back to the grind… Gridiron style.

The Excel Rain Crew is hooking you up with 2 FREE mindless NFL templates to help you hedge your choked Fantasy Football squad and/or weak stock portfolio without requiring a huge degree of knowledge or time.

Starting with this Thursday’s Packers/Saints Box Pool and the ongoing Excel Rain Man Football Survivor Pool which are here to assist pool managers (the PC term for bookie… Not a computer) out there with a simple spreadsheet solution.

The FREE Excel Rain Man NFL Kickoff Box Pool and Football Survivor Pool can be downloaded in the Tips & Tricks Section of ExcelRainMan.com. See the details below.

NFL Kickoff Box Pool
Start the football season off right with the FREE Excel Rain Man NFL Kickoff Box Pool with the Saints vs. Packers Thursday night.

Share the joy with your friends, family, co-workers, whoever!

This is way better than any Box Pool template you have seen before:
-It eliminates the chicken scratch handwriting from the pool manager and entrants
-It can be easily printed and/or emailed to your crew
-You can enter in the quarterly scores during the game and the winners names will automatically be populated in the spreadsheet… now that’s transparency!

AND this spreadsheet makes it look like you are doing some intense work-related spreadsheeting, as opposed to quasi-gambling.

The FREE Excel Rain Man NFL Kickoff Box Pool, is a simple spreadsheet that allows pretty much anyone to manage his or her very own Box Pool, can be found in the Tips & Tricks section of www.ExcelRainMan.com.

Football Survivor Pool
This is an Excel Rain Tool for managing your own survivor-style football pool. As an FYI, Survivor Pool spreadsheets are not really available on the market (at least not one this good), so use our simple spreadsheet to get your gamble on!

Bracket managers can look as though they are working on a bad-a$$ spreadsheet at work (yeah right), while discreetly feeding their ravenous hunger for office wagering… So genius right?

Here’s the deal.
Rules:
– Each week pool participants will choose one football team to win, straight up (i.e. no spreads)
– Once a participant has chosen a team, they will be unable to choose that team for the remainder of the season
– If your team wins, you move on to the next week
– The league manager can choose single or double elimination style and how to handle ties in NFL games

Logistics:
– A Pool Manager is needed to coordinate this “spread-tasterpiece” and will enter selections each week for the participants
– Each Pool Participant will email his or her weekly selection to the pool manager (prior to the first game of the week).

The FREE Excel Rain Man Football Survivor Pool can be found in the Tips & Tricks section of www.ExcelRainMan.com.
