Bigger bowls are worth more points

Bowl game points are multiplied by the game significance factor,
which is based on team rankings, bowl payout and bowl tradition.

Over/Under picks are available

Pick whether the total points scored in a game will be OVER or UNDER the posted number.

Players select 3 games to parlay.

Win extra points if all 3 parlay games picked correctly.

Lose 4 points if any parlay game picked incorrectly.

Pick from your winners

After the 1st round, players can only pick from the winning teams they picked in the previous round, or a bye team in round 2.

Pick Any Team

Players can pick any team each round, regardless of their previous round's picks.

You can pick a maximum of games out of all the games shown.

To remove a pick, tap a picked team name.

Notice the spread shown for each game.

A - (minus) sign means the team is favored by the indicated # of points.

A + (plus) sign means the team is an underdog by the indicated # of points.

Think of the spread as meaning: "Will the favorite win by more than the point spread?".

For example, if the Packers are a 7.5 point favorite over the Bears and the final score is Packers 28, Bears 21, then the Bears pick wins because the Packers won by only 7.

The spread values may change, up until game time.

It appears you are the only player in your league for this pool. If you would like to join a public league and compete against other players, you are more than welcome to join! To do so, first you need to remove your existing league. Just go to that league page and remove yourself from the leaderboard. That will also remove your league. Then join a public league. Good luck!
