NFL Schedule Games
MockSlate Schedule Games are free and Pro contests built on the NFL schedule itself — survive the season on high-scoring picks, draft broadcast windows before the schedule exists, and call the primetime slate. Four are free to enter; three pay $100 to the winner.
Free games — prize-eligible, open to everyone
Primetime Portfolio
FreeBefore the schedule drops, invest 100 shares across the 32 teams by how many primetime games you think each gets. Closest portfolio to reality wins.
Schedule Survivor
FreePick one game a week — both teams are gone for good. Land in the top half of the week's slate by combined points or you're out. Last player standing wins.
Schedule Release Draft
FreeDraft the 17 games you think will score the biggest — believe in an offense like the Lions? Grab their games before someone else does. Best Game scoring does the rest.
Schedule Props
FreeBefore the 2027 schedule drops, call over or under on 20 facts about it. Cowboys primetime games: 6.5 — over or under?
Pro games — glory, no prize
These six games are part of Pro — $12/year (founding rate for 2026) unlocks all of them, plus the full builders in every sport, private friend leagues, and advanced stats.
Slot Draft
ProDraft the schedule before it exists. You're not picking games — you're drafting the marquee broadcast windows. Whatever the NFL puts there is yours.
Over the Slate
ProBefore the season, call the 10 games that will score the biggest — and rank them. Watch the real Highest-Scoring Games board fill in all season.
Bye Board
ProPredict all 32 teams' bye weeks before the schedule drops. Sounds easy. It isn't.
Off the Map
ProEvery week, one game airs to almost nobody. Find it. Pick the Sunday 1:00 game covering the least US land area on the week's TV map.
Booth Call
ProBefore the schedule exists, pick the 18 games Fox's top booth will call — and the 18 CBS's will. The matchups are known; the windows aren't. Read the networks' minds.
Flex Watch
ProEvery week of flex season, call which game gets flexed in — and which gets buried.
Builder contests — free $100 contests inside the mock builders
Not schedule games — you build the slate itself in a mock builder, and the closest mock to reality wins. Entry happens inside each builder.
Week 1 Contest
FreeBuild the real 2027 NFL Week 1 slate in the mock builder — closest to reality when the schedule drops wins.
Christmas Slate Contest
FreePredict the NBA's five-game Christmas slate — the matchups and the order — before the schedule drops.
Field of 48 Contest
FreeCall the full 48-team 2030 World Cup field — judged country by country when the real field is set.
Schedule Games FAQ
What are Schedule Games?
Contests built around the NFL schedule itself — not fantasy points. Survive the season picking high-scoring games, draft broadcast windows before the schedule exists, predict every team's primetime count, and more. They run across the whole football calendar.
Which games are free?
Schedule Survivor, Schedule Release Draft, Primetime Portfolio, and Schedule Props are completely free to enter and prize-eligible — no purchase necessary. Slot Draft, Over the Slate, Bye Board, Off the Map, Booth Call, and Flex Watch come with MockSlate Pro.
How do I win a prize?
Each of the four free games carries a $100 season prize, won through its public national leaderboard. Prizes only ever attach to the free games — entry never costs anything, and Pro perks never affect prize eligibility or odds. Three more $100 contests live inside the mock builders — build the slate, closest to reality wins.
What does Pro add?
Six exclusive games (Slot Draft, Over the Slate, Bye Board, Off the Map, Booth Call, and Flex Watch — leaderboard glory, no prizes), private friend leagues in Schedule Release Draft, multiple league memberships, in-draft history panels, and advanced stats. $12/year founding rate for 2026 (then $19/year).
When do entries open?
Every game tied to the current season is open now with an extended summer entry window — Schedule Survivor, Over the Slate, Off the Map (join any week), Flex Watch, and Primetime Portfolio for 2027. Schedule Release Draft is closed for 2026 and returns for the 2027 schedule release. The rest open in the post-season window: Booth Call in early January 2027 at final standings, then Slot Draft, Schedule Props, and Bye Board in February 2027. All three builder contests — Week 1, Christmas Slate, and Field of 48 — are open now in their builders.
MockSlate's prize games are free-to-enter skill contests — no purchase necessary. Pro-exclusive games are prize-free and carry no cash award. Not affiliated with the NFL or any team.
