A few (6 or so) of us in the office are going to start a low-stakes NFL pick'em pool this season. Very simple setup as we get it off the ground. Every week, we pick winners (straight up) of every game. At the end of the week, whoever gets the most right gets the money for that week. Rinse, repeat for 17 weeks.

If we have to, we will do this via emailing our picks to whomever we decide is running this thing. But it occurs to me that there might be a website or other such place that would let us do this more easily.

Our stakes are low enough that we would not want to pay a site to host; it would eat too big a percentage of our pool.

Does any such place exist? Or would we be better off just using email?

I'm pretty sure both ESPN and Yahoo offer some form of this. You may have to play around with the settings, as they may default to spreads or confidence points, etc.

I co-run the exact same pool for 20 people. We have used CBSsports for this for 5 years now and it does an excellent job.
