A free NFL pick contest you play against your friends

Rush runs a free NFL pick contest every week of the season. Tickets get you in, every entry starts with the same Stack, and the player with the most Units at the end takes first place. There is nothing to put down and nothing to buy, in the app or anywhere else.

Most pick contests hand you one pick a game and a win-loss record at the end of it. Rush gives you the whole Board instead: spreads, totals and player props on every game, the same lines everyone else in the contest is looking at, and you decide how much of your Stack goes behind each pick. A week you were quiet and a week you were loud do not count the same, which is the part a survivor pool cannot do.

Bring your group and you are all in one contest, ranked on one Field, arguing about the same picks from Tuesday to Monday night. Invite links earn Tickets for both of you, so a friend who joins is worth more entries. Each pick locks when its own game kicks off, so you can keep adding to your Slip all week instead of filing everything before the early window.

Nothing resets between weeks. Your record, your Ranks placement and your RIQ carry forward all season.

How a contest works

1. 1

   Enter with Tickets

   You start with 15. The Rush costs 5, Primetime 3. Tickets only get you in; they are not what you play with. Earn more by logging in daily, making a pick, and inviting friends.

2. 2

   Get your Stack

   Every entry gets 1,000 Stack for that contest. Same for everyone, fresh every contest. It is not money and it never carries over.

3. 3

   Make picks on the Board

   Chiefs -3.5 (win by 4 or more). Over 47.5 in the Eagles game. Mahomes 250+ passing yards. One pick, or a few chained into a parlay, at real lines, locked when the game starts. Put any amount of your Stack on each pick, until that game kicks off.

4. 4

   Track your picks as they settle

   Wins add to your Stack, losses come off. Profit is what counts, shown in Units: every 10 Stack of profit is 1 Unit, so +100 Stack shows as +10 Units.

5. 5

   Most Units wins

   Ranks update as games finish and Slips settle. When the contest ends, the highest Units takes first. First place wins the prize; the next finishers earn Tickets.
