Play Free Builders' Pro Football for Prizes and Fun

Join and play in the Builders Football League (BFL) on HGTVPro.com — the free, online pro football "pick 'em" contest with a special league for NAHB members.

Playing is free, fun and easy ― and participants have a chance to win weekly prizes or the grand prize — a Panasonic 61-inch high definition TV — at the end of the season.

How to Join and Play

  • Go to HGTVPro.com's Builders Football League to sign up.

  • Log in and join the NAHB League and use the password: BEATJERRY, or

  • Log in and join the 20 Club League (for 20 Club members only) and use the password: 20Power.

  • Pick the winning teams each week from Sunday's NFL football match-ups. Helpful "pick" tools and stats make the game fun for rookies and veterans alike.

  • Earn bonus points playing against top TV celebrities and NAHB CEO Jerry Howard (Howard is an avid Oakland Raiders fan).

  • Play against your friends, HBA colleagues and co-workers by joining the NAHB League within the BFL.

  • Keep track of your prowess.
