How to play NFL Pickz

NFL 2026 Season (2026) is a free prediction game on Pickz. You make your own picks on NFL games and compare your record with friends in private leagues and on the competition leaderboard.

What you predict

For each NFL game, choose the winning team and predict its winning margin in points. Where a tie is supported, select Tie instead of a team. This is different from Premier League score prediction: you are not filling in a home and away football scoreline.

Weekly picks and kickoff deadlines

Each game locks one hour before its scheduled kickoff, not when the entire week begins. Check the individual game's countdown before saving. The schedule and results pages show UK times with the applicable GMT or BST label; a late US game can fall on the following calendar day in the UK.

Season Picks and your Bonus Team

NFL Season Picks cover the eight division champions, the AFC and NFC champions, and the Super Bowl champion. These are separate from weekly game predictions. Season Picks have their own lock deadline: joining after that deadline does not reopen them.

Your Bonus Team is a separate selection. Read How NFL Pickz works for the full rules, current Bonus Team details, scoring values and deadlines.

Team standings versus the Pickz leaderboard

The NFL standings page lists real teams' wins, losses and ties by division and conference. Your Pickz league ranks players by their prediction points; it is not an NFL team table or a forecast of playoff qualification.

Make your own predictions

Use the current schedule to find the next games and final results to review previous weeks. These pages do not supply expert betting tips, injury analysis, historical head-to-head records or model-generated win probabilities.

What Pickz is not

Pickz is not a betting product and not fantasy football: there is no money staked, no player drafting and no paid tips. Every pick is yours. Pickz is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by the NFL.
