How to play
A few picks. One Best Bet. A season of friendly bragging rights.
1. Get your friends together
Open a friend’s invite link and create an account, or sign in to join. Already have a code? Enter it on the More page. You can create a pool there and share its invite link with your group.
2. Pick against the spread
Choose the team you think will beat the point spread. It’s about the margin, so picking the winning team doesn’t always mean a winning pick.
Chiefs −3.5 vs Ravens
Pick Chiefs −3.5: Kansas City needs to win by 4 or more.
Pick Ravens +3.5: Baltimore needs to win, or lose by 3 or fewer.
A half-point line can’t tie. On a whole-number line, landing exactly on the spread is a push: no win, no loss, no points.
Your line locks when you pick. If the market moves, you keep your number. Change your pick before kickoff and you get the line shown at that time.
Each game locks at its own kickoff. Thursday’s game locking doesn’t stop you picking Sunday’s games. An NFL week runs Thursday through Monday.
3. Star your Best Bet
Tap the on your most confident pick. You get one Best Bet per pool each week. You can move it to another open game until your starred game kicks off.

4. Climb your pool’s standings
Each pool has its own picks and standings. Choose your pool on the Picks page so your picks count with the right friends.
Pools can start mid-season. Your pool’s scoring start week decides which games count. Everyone gets a fresh race from that week onward.
Most points leads. Ties go to more wins, then fewer losses, then username. Pushes don’t affect your win percentage.
5. See everyone’s picks at kickoff
Your picks stay hidden from other players until each game kicks off. Then everyone in your pool can see each other’s picks and locked lines. No copying before kickoff, plenty to talk about after.
