Welcome to the 2026 Picksheet Invitational: NFL Pick 7

Pick seven games against the spread each week and assign 1-7 confidence points. Every NFL week is its own contest, so you can join at any point in the season and compete for the remaining weekly prizes. There is no season-long prize.

For more information about this and other Picksheet Invitational contests, visit picksheet.com/invitational.

Weekly prizes

  • Win a week and you’ll earn a 25-entry credit toward a future Picksheet pool you host.
  • Tied top scores are settled using the average scoring margin of picked games.
  • If two or three entries remain tied after the tiebreaker, each receives the full 25-entry credit.
  • If four or more remain tied, three winners will be selected at random from those entries. No more than three prizes will be awarded in one week.

Using your credits

  • All credits you earn in this contest combine into one balance. Win three weeks and you’ll have a 75-entry credit.
  • Your balance may be applied to one future Picksheet pool you host. It cannot be divided among multiple pools, transferred, exchanged for cash, or combined with another person’s balance.
  • The credit must be applied to an eligible Picksheet invoice by September 30, 2027. Any unused portion expires when the balance is applied.

Eligibility and fair play

  • Entry is free. Participants must be 18 or older, have a valid Picksheet account, and be legally eligible to receive a prize.
  • The one-entry limit applies per person, not per account or email address. Multiple accounts, aliases, or another person’s account may not be used to exceed it.
  • Picksheet may disqualify entries or prizes after investigating suspected circumvention.
  • Picksheet and TeamRankings employees, contractors, and members of their households may play but are not eligible for prizes.

The configured rules below govern picks, scoring, spreads, deadlines, and visibility.

Enough fine print. Good luck!
