The 2026 NFL Season is Here
Whether you know every starter’s stat or make your picks based on team colors, you’re invited to this party. NFL Weekly Pick'ems is for everyone — pick your winners, score bragging rights, and compete for weekly and season-long prizes.
Because sports are for all of us.
How to play
Unlike the NFL’s 18-week gauntlet, achieving gridiron glory at The GIST is easy:
Step 1: Sign In
Create a free account at the top of the page, or sign in if you’re already part of The GIST family.
Step 2: Lock In Your Picks
Head to the "Make Your Picks" tab starting every Tuesday at midnight. Just choose the team you think will win each matchup.
Time is of the essence: Picks lock at kickoff of the week's first game (usually Thursday at 8:20 p.m. ET).
Not sure who to pick? No pressure. Check your inbox for our jargon-free NFL previews or let the live fan poll guide your gut.
Step 3: Score & Win Big
Earn one point for every correct pick. Track your ranking on both the weekly and season-long leaderboards, then check our Wednesday newsletter to see if you bagged a prize.
All that's left to do is master that touchdown celly. It's game time!
Here's what's on the line
It's a marathon and a sprint — we're giving out weekly and season-long prizes to top contenders:
Weekly Prize: $100 NFL Shop gift card
Season-Long Prize: $500 NFL Shop gift card
Hut, hut, heck yes.*
