The NFL is the most-watched sport in North America, and PredictVS is bringing free prediction contests to every game of the 2026 season. Here is what to expect.

How NFL Predictions Will Work

Every NFL game will have a full prop sheet available before kickoff. You will be able to predict:

Game winner and spread — Pick the winner outright or against the spread. Underdog picks earn more points.
Totals (over/under) — Predict whether the combined score goes over or under the posted total.
Player props — Will Patrick Mahomes throw for over 275.5 yards? Will Derrick Henry rush for over 89.5 yards? Player-level predictions add depth beyond basic game outcomes.
Quarter-by-quarter live picks — New prediction questions drop at the end of every quarter and at halftime. Make in-game calls as the action unfolds.

NFL Contest Formats

PredictVS will offer several ways to compete on NFL games:

Weekly contests — Predict every game on the Sunday slate. Fresh leaderboard each week.
Season-long contests — Accumulate points across the entire regular season and playoffs.
Team-specific contests — Follow your favorite team with contests scoped to their schedule.
Private office pools — Create a contest, share the invite code, and compete with coworkers or friends all season. No spreadsheets, no money collection.

Why PredictVS for NFL

Unlike real-money sportsbooks, PredictVS is completely free. Points are based on real betting odds — so the strategy is the same — but your wallet stays untouched. Your Elo skill rating tracks your prediction accuracy over time, giving you an objective measure of how good you really are at picking games.

If you already play fantasy football, PredictVS is the perfect complement. Fantasy is about season-long roster management. PredictVS is about game-by-game predictions with prop sheets and live picks. They work together — sharpen your prediction skills on PredictVS and bring that edge to your fantasy league.
