A casino table game having a football motif is played on a standard table that resembles a blackjack table having six or seven betting positions around the same. Each betting position includes a symbol for a home team and a visiting team so that each player can place a bet on either. Additional side or bonus bets can also be made. The game is played with a standard deck of 52 cards with jokers. The table layout resembles a football field and includes spots for the dealer to place four cards for the home team and four cards for the visiting team. In the simplest form of the game, the team with the most points after adding up the four cards wins.

A football board game for playing a game board version of football between opposing players is provided. The game comprises a game table having a top surface, a bottom surface, and a side wall around the complete perimeter of the game table. First and second legs are secured to the bottom surface of the game table with the legs extendable to support the game table above a surface and retractable to a position against the bottom surface of the game table. A carpeted football field is mounted to the top surface of the game table and configured to represent a standard football field and marked appropriately with yard lines, goal lines, and yardage. Two field goalposts are positionable on opposite ends of the football field. Also included are a set of thirty-two NFL cards, a pair of dice, two team figure helmets, and two yellow time out cards.

A game is provided that simulates American style football. Action cards include offensive plays and defensive outcomes. Skill is introduced by the offensive play chosen by an offensive player.
