All of the reports and information on SpreadTrends are free except for our predictions feature- we have to pay the bills somehow! SpreadTrends generates NFL picks each week of the 2024 season and makes them available to Season Pass holders. The picks that you get are the output of our computer prediction model. The math model is 100% objective and quantitative; it incorporates no subjective opinions or assumptions about teams, players, or matchups. Associated with every NFL pick is a confidence rating of 1 to 5 stars. These ratings are straight forward- the more stars shown, the higher the mathematical confidence a pick has.

The Details
We've been tuning our TREND-SEARCH™ engine over the past several seasons as we run it in a limited beta. Over that time our math model has turned out 53% winners while picking every game. When selecting home underdogs ATS we've seen the winning percentage increase to 57%. NFL picks that carried the 4-star confidence ranking covered at a rate of 67%. Remember these picks are based purely on math, so applying some of your own research on top of these picks will surely result in a very high win percentage in your football pool. One of the principles of SpreadTrends is to be transparent about what picks we are providing and how they perform. Any website visitor can see past pick performance on the Predictions page here and all Season Pass subscribers can see the upcoming NFL picks.
NFL picks are posted for Season Pass subscribers on the SpreadTrends website on the Predictions page. You can access picks instantly once you have logged in, assuming your order has been approved. Please note that a new order may take up to 48 hours to be approved.
SpreadTrend runs a time consuming algorithm on a computer to predict game winners. As a result it takes several days to complete the calculations and produce the predictions for a full week of games. Every effort will be made to have NFL picks posted by Wednesday at 6pm EDT. We may choose to re-run the algorithm after the Thursday Night game and/or before the Monday Night game to take advantage of the very latest trends, so check back for possible updates on the picks.
We offer programmer access to the raw data that we use for our trends through an Application Programming Interface (API). Our flexible API can be used to create your own interesting applications based on the latest NFL game data. For a complete list of the different operations that are available please refer to our API Documentation page. Please contact us if you're interested. After purchasing API Access you will be emailed a key that can be used on data requests. The key must be appended to each web request by adding the querystring parameter ApiKey=[YOUR_API_KEY_HERE] For example, to query a list of all games played in the 2020-2021 season you would make the following web request:
https://www.spreadtrends.com/api/nfl/games/2020?ApiKey=[YOUR_API_KEY_HERE]
If you do not have a valid API Key on your request you will be redirected to the login page.
All NFL game stats are updated by Tuesday at 6pm EDT.
