Navigate to the Picks page each week.

For each game, tap or click the team you think will win.

Rank your confidence by ordering the matchups. Use the ↑ ↓ ⇈ ⇊ arrow buttons on each card to move it up, down, to the top, or to the bottom of the list. On desktop you can also drag and drop cards to reorder them (dragging may not work on mobile — use the arrows instead). The card at the top of the list gets your highest confidence points; the card at the bottom gets the lowest.

Confidence values are assigned automatically from your ordering — no manual number entry needed.

Hit Save Picks when you're done. You can change your picks any time before the week locks.

Feeling stuck? Use the I'm Feeling Lucky! button to randomly fill in all your picks and shuffle the confidence order.

If your picked team wins, you earn the confidence points you assigned to that game.

If your picked team loses, you earn 0 points for that game.

The weekly leaderboard ranks all players by total points earned that week.

The season standings on the Home page track cumulative points across all weeks, plus how many 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishes each player has.

Each week is locked before the first game kicks off — typically Thursday night or Sunday morning if there is no Thursday game.

Once locked, no changes to your picks are accepted.

A lock icon appears on the Picks page when the week is closed.

Make sure to submit your picks before the lock time — late submissions are not accepted.

Team selection: The underdog is always picked (the team with the positive point spread). If no odds are available, the away team is chosen.

Confidence points: Assigned inversely by spread — the biggest underdog (hardest game to win) gets the lowest confidence value, and the smallest underdog gets the highest.

The result is a set of picks weighted toward the least likely outcomes, keeping late or absent players from accidentally scoring well.

You will receive a notification when auto picks are assigned to you.
