The Sim
The Sim calls every NFL game, seals its pick until kickoff, and gets graded on every one. Here's how it's doing.
The Sim's record
- 2026, picked before kickoff
- 2-0 100%
- 2026 backtest
- 58-33-1 64%
- Backtest 1999-2025
- 65% 4,728-2,533
Picked before kickoff is the official record: the pick was on this site before the game started and never changed after. Backtest picks were made after the fact, using only what the Sim knew going into each game. Ties don't count either way.
About the Sim
The Sim is Hizzle's own NFL pick machine. How it works stays in the vault. Every season gets a newer Sim that's harder to beat.
Its picks stay sealed until kickoff, the same moment your picks lock, and every one gets graded here, right or wrong. Think you can do better? Play Beat the Sim.
