Welcome to the PoolGenius pick strategy article for 2024-25 NFL playoff pick’em pools (and for pools that include both the regular season and playoffs). This premium article is available to subscribers with access to our Football Pick’em Picks product.
Because of the unique complexity of NFL playoff pick’em pools, our Football Pick’em Picks product does not provide customized, pool-specific pick recommendations for playoff pools as it does for regular-season pools.
Instead, this article provides our data-driven pick advice for playoff pick’em pools, from the Wild Card Round to the Super Bowl. We update it multiple times weekly throughout the playoffs, including news updates that will likely impact the pick’em pool strategy.
