How do you play NFL pick'em with friends for free?
The Sunday Board is a free shared board where each friend's picks sit in their own column and grade themselves from live scores, with a season record for everyone. To be clear about what it is: a board of picks, not a pool grid with confidence points.
Free. No sportsbook login. Works in any browser on a phone, tablet or computer, and casts to a TV.
How to run it
- Start a board and send the invite link. Friends without an account can be guests, or scan the guest QR code and add a pick with just a name.
- Each person adds their picks for the week: moneylines, spreads, totals, player props. A pick with no money behind it works exactly like a bet.
- Games grade themselves as they finish, and the Season tab keeps week-by-week results, a leaderboard and streak trophies.
- Put it on the TV with TV mode on Sunday.
It takes no entry fees and pays no prizes. No money moves through The Sunday Board. Anything a group arranges among itself stays with the group.
When a pick'em grid fits better
If you want the classic format, where everyone picks every game, a commissioner sets the rules and confidence points rank the picks, use a dedicated pick'em game. ESPN's Pigskin Pick'em and the Yahoo and CBS pick'em games are free. The Sunday Board has no pool format: players choose which picks to make, and there is no required slate.
| Pick'em game | The Sunday Board | |
|---|---|---|
| What you pick | Usually every game, one winner each | Whatever you choose, including props and totals |
| Scoring | The pool defines it, often confidence points | Each pick's own result, and a season record |
| Commissioner rules | Yes | No pool rules |
| Cost | Many are free | Free |
