Back a QB for the season.
Get paid every week he's #1.

A $10 pick backs one NFL quarterback all season. Every dollar goes into one shared pot in a public smart contract. Each week, the top-scoring QB's pick holders split that week's slice.

2026 season preview: free to play on testnet with test USDC. No real money.
How it works

Four rules. That's the whole game.

1Pick your QBs

$10 per pick, as many picks on as many quarterbacks as you like. You hold them all season.

2One shared pot

Every $10 goes into the pot. It sits in a smart contract anyone can audit, not in our bank account.

318 weekly paydays

Each week the pot pays one slice: what's left divided by the weeks left. Holders of that week's top-scoring QB split it, per pick.

4Claim on-chain

Results post from public NFL stats with a 24-hour review window. Winnings are yours to claim, on-chain, every week.

Join late, same $10. Buy in week 5 and you play weeks 6 through 18. Your full $10 still goes into the pot, and the weekly slices keep growing all season.
Real numbers, real season

We replayed 2022. The favorite won once.

Take the actual 2022 season. Patrick Mahomes finished as fantasy's #1 quarterback and won the MVP. Great pick, right? He topped the weekly scoreboard exactly once. Twelve different QBs won weeks that year, including Tom Brady in week 17 and Davis Mills, yes Davis Mills, in week 18. Every one of those weeks paid somebody.

FAQ

Fair questions.

What exactly am I buying?

A pick is one quarterback, held for the whole season. It costs $10.50: $10 goes to the shared prize pot, 50¢ is our fee. That means 100% of the pot pays out to players, and you can verify that on-chain.

How is the weekly winner decided?

The registered QB with the most standard fantasy points that week (from public NFL stat feeds). Results are posted on-chain with a 24-hour public review window before payouts unlock. If two QBs tie, their pick holders split the week together.

How much does a winning pick pay?

That week's prize is the remaining pot divided by the weeks left. It's split evenly among every eligible pick on the winning QB. Fewer holders means a bigger share: in our 2022 replay a winning pick paid $30.28 in week 1 and $122.59 by week 18.

Can I join mid-season?

Yes. Same $10, and your pick plays from the next week's games onward. Your money still joins the pot, which is why the weekly slices keep growing.

Can I buy more than one pick?

Yes. Any number of picks, on any number of QBs, including several on the same QB. Spreading picks across a few QBs is how you cover more of the 18 weeks.

What if nobody holds the week's best QB?

That week's slice stays in the pot and rolls into future weeks, making them bigger. Whatever is left after the final week rolls into next season's pot. It never comes to us.

What if my QB gets hurt or benched?

Picks are for the season, and there's no transfer market in this version. That risk is part of the game, and it's why depth and diversification matter. (A backup having one monster week has won plenty of weeks in NFL history.)

Where does the money actually sit?

In a smart contract on Base. Ticket sales, the pot balance, weekly results, and every payout are public. We can't touch the pot: the contract only pays winners, and season leftovers can only roll to the next season's pool.

Is this real money?

Not yet. The 2026 season runs as a free testnet preview using test USDC (play money you get from a faucet, worth nothing). It's the full product with the full rules, just without real dollars while we complete legal review for a real-money launch.

Is this affiliated with the NFL?

No. SeasonPick is not affiliated with or endorsed by the NFL, its teams, or any player. We use player names and public statistics only, the same way fantasy sports do.

The pot is open.

Week 1 picks lock Thursday, September 10. The earlier you're in, the more weeks you play.
