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.

How to run it

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Games grade themselves as they finish, and the Season tab keeps week-by-week results, a leaderboard and streak trophies.
  4. 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.
