Yes, you are required to report this income on your tax return. For more information, please see Sports Gambling and How Your Winnings are Taxed.

To enter the football pool winnings in TurboTax:

Open (continue) return if you don't already have it open.
Inside TurboTax, search for gambling and then select the "Jump to" link in the search results for gambling income not on w-2g.
Enter your husband's winnings on the Other Gambling Winnings screen. (Click the first screenshot below for reference.)
When you click Continue, TurboTax will prompt you to enter your gambling losses (up to your total gambling winnings.) (Click the second screenshot below.)
