Choose your football format

NFL Pick’em has a new pick sheet each week. Bowl confidence assigns points to individual game picks. NFL and College Football Playoff pools use a complete bracket through the championship.

  • Members submit their own picks online.
  • Your league can run one football contest or several.

Weekly NFL picks

Select each game’s winner and choose three confidence picks. Use 2, 3 and 4 points once each; the other games are worth 1 point. The NFL Pick’em rules page explains the weekly locks and weekly tiebreaker.

NCAA Bowl Confidence

Pick bowl game winners and assign confidence points. Correct picks earn their assigned values, with optional spread and win-margin bonuses.

NFL and CFP brackets

Submit a complete bracket through the Super Bowl or College Football Playoff National Championship before the pick deadline. Correct winners earn points by round, with optional bonuses.

Common questions

Do members draft NFL players?

No. These football pools use team and game predictions. Members select winners rather than a roster of individual players.

Can one league include more than one football contest?

Yes. Add available contests to the same league. Members have separate picks and standings for each contest, alongside the league leaderboard.

When can I create this pool?

The league creation page lists contests currently open for setup. Each contest shows its event dates and pick deadline.
