Free sports data. Every prediction stored before the game, graded after.

Short answers first. Each sport has its own FAQ too: NBA FAQ · NFL FAQ · Maine HS basketball FAQ. Words we use are explained in the glossary.

What is niftisports?

niftisports is a free sports data site: Maine high school standings and playoff pictures, plus NFL and NBA game predictions that are stored before every game and graded after it, in public. It's made in Biddeford, Maine, by Nifti Mobility Group.

What sports does niftisports cover?

Maine high school football, cross country and basketball, the NFL, and the NBA. NBA picks started on opening night, Tuesday, October 20, 2026; Maine high school basketball covers the 2026-27 winter season.

Is niftisports free?

Yes: scores, standings, schedules and predictions are free. niftisports Plus adds what-if tools, playoff paths with chances and deeper team pages; plans and prices are on the Plus page.

How are niftisports predictions graded?

Every prediction is stored with a time stamp before the game starts and is never edited. After the final, it's graded right or wrong, and each sport has a public record page listing every graded pick, along with the Brier score and calibration.

Are niftisports' Maine standings official?

No. The Maine Principals' Association (MPA) publishes the official standings. niftisports recomputes them from published results with the MPA's own formulas (the Crabtree Index for football, Heal points for basketball) and checks them against the MPA's numbers. niftisports isn't affiliated with the MPA.

What does "est." mean on niftisports?

"est." means estimate. Every win chance, projection and playoff chance on niftisports is a model estimate, not a promise, so no chance is ever shown as certain: the smallest is "<1%" and the largest ">99%".

Is niftisports betting advice?

No. Nothing on niftisports is betting, financial or legal advice, and niftisports takes no referral, affiliate or sponsorship money from any betting site, exchange or market. Predictions are published to show how well the models work.

Where does niftisports' data come from?

Public sources, checked against official results. Each sport's How it works page explains its method and data.

Does niftisports write about individual high school players?

Not on our public pages. For high school sports niftisports covers teams only: no player stats, rankings or photos of students. In cross country, team stats and every runner's place and time are free, shown by school and runner number; runner names are for coach accounts only.
