How it works

A full-season football pool in three steps.

No draft, roster management, or manual scorekeeping. Players simply choose the team they think will win each NFL game.

1

Create the pool

Name your pool, choose the season payment setup, and receive a private invite code.

2

Invite the group

Share the code with friends or coworkers. Players can make picks from any phone or computer.

3

Follow the standings

Picks lock game by game at kickoff. Results and standings update automatically as games finish.

Built for commissioners

Spend Sunday watching football, not updating a sheet.

Bragging Season imports the NFL schedule, enforces pick deadlines, grades every matchup, applies the weekly tiebreaker, and keeps the season standings in one place.

Organizers who upgrade can also track who has paid, record payment methods, send invitations in bulk, and remove ads for the group. Bragging Season never collects or holds entry money.

Automatic deadlinesA Thursday pick locks on Thursday. Sunday and Monday picks remain open until their games begin.
Live scoringPlayers can follow correct picks and the weekly race while NFL games are in progress.
Clear tiebreakersThe final game of the week supplies a total-points prediction for resolving tied records.
Private membershipYour group joins through an invitation instead of entering a public contest.
NFL Pick'em FAQ

Questions from pool organizers.

Is the NFL Pick'em pool free?

Yes. An organizer can create one pool per calendar year for free, and players always join and make picks for free. No credit card is required to start.

Are picks straight-up or against the spread?

Bragging Season currently uses straight-up picks. Players choose the team they believe will win each game, without a point spread or confidence ranking.

When do picks lock?

Each pick locks at that game's scheduled kickoff. Players do not have to submit the entire week before the first Thursday game.

Does Bragging Season collect entry fees?

No. The platform can help an organizer record payment status, but it does not collect, process, hold, or distribute pool money.

Can players make picks on a phone?

Yes. The site is designed for mobile browsers and can also be installed as a web app on supported devices.
