Policies & Notices

Odds & Picks Disclaimer

Effective and last updated: September 24, 2026

1. Informational and entertainment use

Matchups, schedules, point spreads, and related information displayed by Free NFL Pick'em are provided for convenience, entertainment, and football-pool use. Nothing on Free NFL Pick'em is financial, investment, legal, gambling, or professional betting advice.

2. Odds are weekly snapshots, not live lines

Free NFL Pick'em reads point-spread information from Slate's stored data. Each week's displayed spreads lock Tuesdays at 12:00 PM Eastern and remain fixed for that week so pool participants can use the same lines. Sportsbook lines may continue moving and may differ among markets, locations, or data providers.

Each sheet displays a Printed timestamp and its spread-lock status. A missing line at lock time remains unavailable on the locked sheet unless an administrator corrects and explicitly re-locks that week's snapshot. Data can still be delayed, incomplete, unavailable, or wrong.

3. No guaranteed picks or outcomes

Checking a box on a Free NFL Pick'em sheet is solely the participant's choice. Past performance, a point spread, a favorite designation, or any information available through Slate does not guarantee the result of a game, pool, or wager.

4. No sportsbook or wagering transaction

Free NFL Pick'em does not take bets, quote executable wagering prices, accept deposits, process gambling payments, settle wagers, or hold participant funds. If you choose to participate in gambling elsewhere, you are responsible for understanding and following all laws, age requirements, terms, and rules that apply to you.

5. Pool administrators are responsible for their rules

If you use a printed sheet for a pool, the pool administrator is responsible for defining deadlines, tie-breaking rules, scoring, entry requirements, prizes, cancellations, disputed selections, changed games, and any other pool rules. Free NFL Pick'em does not administer or adjudicate those pools.

6. League and team affiliation

Free NFL Pick'em and i8o8 are not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by, or officially connected to the National Football League, its clubs, or their owners unless explicitly stated otherwise. NFL, club, and other third-party names and marks are the property of their respective owners and are used only to identify games and teams.

7. Slate relationship

Free NFL Pick'em is a sister service designed to promote Slate. References and links to Slate are promotional references to an associated i8o8 service, not an independent third-party endorsement.
