How it works · NFL

Draft a roster of NFL teams under a salary cap. Earn points all season as your teams win games, make the playoffs, and chase a Super Bowl.

The draft

Each pool has a salary cap — a credit budget that limits how many top-tier franchises you can afford. Teams are priced by projected win totals and playoff probability. The Chiefs cost more than the Patriots.

SettingWhat it controls
Salary capTotal credits you can spend on your roster
Roster sizeHow many teams you must pick (typically 6)
Division limitMax teams from the same division (prevents stacking AFC West, etc.)

Regular season scoring

Teams earn points for every win across the 17-game NFL regular season. Every win is worth the same — the Chiefs winning Week 1 counts just as much as the Panthers.

ResultPoints
Regular season win+3
Loss0

A team that goes 14–3 earns 42 regular season points before any playoff bonuses.

Playoffs & Super Bowl

The biggest points come from January. Every round your team advances adds to your total — and winning the Super Bowl is worth a massive bonus on top.

AchievementPoints
Making the playoffs (Wild Card berth)+8
Each playoff win (Wild Card, Divisional, etc.)+6
AFC / NFC Conference Champion+8
Super Bowl win+12

A 15–2 Super Bowl champion earns: 45 (wins) + 8 (playoff berth) + 24 (4 wins × 6) + 8 (conference title) + 12 (Super Bowl) = 97 points.
