How Pick'em Scoring Works
- Pick the Winner: For each game, pick which team will win straight-up (no spread).
- Rank by Confidence: Assign confidence rankings 1-16 to each pick.
1= least confident,16= most confident. - Earn Points: If your pick is correct, you earn points equal to your confidence ranking.
- Strategy: This page uses the Always Favorite strategy: pick the Vegas favorite, rank by spread magnitude (bigger spread = higher confidence).
- Backtest Result: This strategy scores ~72.5% of maximum possible points over 5 years (2020-2024).
