Trending for football season
Start with what everyone’s playing.
The fastest path to a pool your group already understands.
Nobody is eliminated. No grid to fill.
Everyone gets a 5×5 card of things that can actually happen in the game — a three-and-out, a pick six, a called third strike — and it marks itself from the live play-by-play. A squares grid can be over for you at halftime; every bingo card is alive to the final out. Run it for a single game or deal a fresh card every game of a series, with any number of players — there is no board of 100 to sell out first.
Best for: a watch party, a playoff series, or any pool whose grid never fills
Pick one team a week. Last one standing wins.
Win and advance, lose and you’re out — and you can’t use the same team twice. Run it straight, as a Loser Pool, or against the spread.
Best for: a full season, any sport
Pick winners. Climb the standings.
Every game, every week — straight-up or against the spread. Schedules load themselves and results grade on their own.
Best for: offices, friends and boosters
Pick winners — and back your best calls.
Rank every pick from most to least confident. Nail your top game and it’s worth the most; miss it and it costs you.
Best for: a Pick’Em group that wants more strategy
The game everyone already knows.
A clean 10×10 grid for one big game, with numbers drawn automatically and winners highlighted by quarter, half and final.
Best for: a single big game or a fundraiser
