Snap & Mate
Snap & Mate is an NFL prediction game. On every NFL Regular Season game week, you build your personal board from five predictions and five players and units.
For your board, you choose five of the ten available predictions. On the player and unit fields, you can choose from all players and units that match the field rule, do not have a bye week and have not yet been used by you this season.
Every field on your board has its own requirements and scoring logic. So it is not only about which predictions or players and units you choose, but also about where you place them.
Collect points throughout the season, climb the leaderboard and compare your board directly with your friends.
A complete board consists of five prediction fields and five player and unit fields.
Each prediction may only be used once within one board. The same applies to each player and each unit.
The five prediction fields use different scoring logic. Depending on the field where you place a prediction, a true or false result can give you different positive or negative points.
The visible order of the prediction fields is: +-3, +1, +1, −1, −+3.
The five lower fields are represented by chess pieces. Each piece defines which players and units can be selected and how their performance is scored. The standard roles are Rook as Tight End, Knight as Wide Receiver, Bishop as Running Back and King as Quarterback. The Queen has a changing special rule.
Predictions that apply generally to the entire game week only include the regular Sunday and Monday games. Thursday Night games and special games marked with “EXT” are excluded from the evaluation of these predictions.
Example: If a prediction states, “At least one quarterback throws for 400 yards this week,” it can only be fulfilled by a qualifying performance in a Sunday or Monday game. Performances from a Thursday Night game or a special game marked with “EXT” do not count toward this prediction.

You can save and change your board as often as you like until the displayed deadline. Once the deadline has passed, your most recently saved board is locked and can no longer be edited.
For predictions marked as “Thursday Night”, as well as players and teams participating in the Thursday Night game, the displayed Thursday Night deadline applies. Special games are marked with “EXT” and follow the same deadline rules as Thursday Night games.
Each player and each unit may only be selected once within one board. After the deadline, all used players and units are locked for your profile. They cannot be used again later in the season. The lock applies regardless of whether a player scores points, does not play or is scored with 0 points.
Players and units with a bye week are not selectable for that week.
If a player is reported inactive only after the deadline or does not play for another reason, the selection remains in place and is scored with 0 points.
An incomplete board can be saved. After the deadline, empty prediction fields receive these fixed values:
+-3: −3 points−1: −1 point+1: 0 points+1: 0 points−+3: −3 pointsEmpty player and unit fields receive 0 points.
After the game week is complete, the predictions and the performances of the selected players and units are scored. Finalization usually takes place within 24 hours after the last game of the NFL week.
Each prediction is scored as “true” or “false”. The resulting points depend on the prediction field where it was placed.
Players and units are scored according to the rule shown for their specific field. For the standard fields, the rules are:
King – Touchdowns
For the King, all touchdowns count if the selected player throws them, runs them in himself or catches them.
Bishop – Rushing yards
The Bishop receives 1 point for every full 50 rushing yards. Only rushing yards count – receiving yards do not. Partial 50-yard segments do not give extra points. Therefore 49 rushing yards score 0 points, 50 to 99 yards score 1 point, and 100 to 149 yards score 2 points.
Rook – Receptions
The Rook receives 1 point for every full 3 receptions. Only actually caught passes by the selected player count. Partial groups of three do not give extra points. Two receptions score 0 points, three to five receptions score 1 point, and six to eight receptions score 2 points.
Knight – Receiving yards
The Knight receives 1 point for every full 50 receiving yards. Only yards gained through caught passes count – rushing yards do not. Partial 50-yard segments do not give extra points. Therefore 49 receiving yards score 0 points, 50 to 99 yards score 1 point, and 100 to 149 yards score 2 points.
Queen – weekly special scoring
The Queen is a fixed team field. Each week, you select an NFL team on this field. The exact Queen scoring rule can vary from game week to game week and is shown directly on the Queen field or in the game-week description.
After finalization, weekly points, the overall leaderboard, friend leaderboards and player profiles are updated.
Scoring can be recalculated later if official stat corrections, input corrections or technical fixes become necessary.
Rules, field logic and technical processes may be adjusted as Snap & Mate continues to evolve.
Changes generally apply only to future game weeks. If an active game week is affected as an exception, the change will be communicated as early and transparently as possible inside the app.
You can add Snap & Mate to your phone or tablet like an app. It then appears on your home screen, opens in its own app-style window and is easier to reach during the NFL week.
On Android, the button below may open the installation dialog directly. On iPhone or iPad, Apple does not allow websites to start that dialog automatically, so the button shows you the exact steps.
