Your seven picks are weighed against each other and run through a full season. Some positions carry more than others, and your weakest slot counts for a lot — which is why a roster full of legends still fails if one spot is soft, the same way it does in real football.
We do not publish the exact weights or the line a perfect season sits on. Working that out from the stat lines in front of you is the game. What we will promise is that it never moves: the same seven players always produce the same record.
No. It is fully deterministic: the same seven players always produce the same record, every single time. You can prove it by rebuilding a roster and watching the number come back identical. All of the luck sits in the spin, where you can see it happening.
Almost always the weakest slot. Six stars and one ordinary starter is not a 20-0 roster, and the board will not tell you which one let you down — finding that out is the part you get better at.
One team reroll and one era reroll, for the whole run. Making them scarce is the point: it turns a bad draw into a real decision instead of an infinite fishing trip. Both are free. If ads are running you can watch one to earn two more — one ad, two rerolls, once per run.
Because that is what happened. Indianapolis from 1999 to 2004 is Peyton Manning; Green Bay in the same window is Brett Favre; Pittsburgh from 1975 to 1979 is Terry Bradshaw. When a franchise had one quarterback for a whole era, there is one to draft.
1970. Eleven five-year eras run from 1970–1974 to 2020–2025, so you can draw the 1972 Dolphins, the 1975 Steel Curtain, the 1985 Bears or the 1992 Cowboys. Nothing before 1970: defensive statistics were not recorded then, and a board with no defenders is not a board.
Either it did not exist yet, or there is not enough of a real roster in that window to deal a fair board. The reels only land on boards that exist, so you will never be handed an empty one.
Your streak, stats and achievements live on your device, so deleting the app, clearing its storage or switching phones will clear them. Your leaderboard total is kept under a random ID your device generated — it is on the Stats screen, and quoting it lets us find your entry.
Seasons from 1999 on come from nflverse, an open NFL dataset, used under a CC BY 4.0 licence. Everything from 1970 to 1998 is compiled from Wikipedia's career-statistics tables (CC BY-SA 4.0), Pro Football Archives and ESPN's public data. Every figure was checked against the record book before it shipped — the biggest passing season in the game is Dan Marino's 5,084 yards in 1984, because that is the record.
