Pick 3 Saturday
Pick 3. Beat the spread. Win the pot.
Go head-to-head with your friends all season long. Every Saturday you pick 3 ranked games against the spread — like a 3-leg parlay — rack up points, and climb the leaderboard. Whoever's on top when the regular season ends takes the pot. 🏆

How it works
-
1
Make 3 picks a week. Only games with a Top-25 team are eligible. You pick which team beats the spread — not just who wins.
-
2
Beat the Saturday deadline. Picks lock Saturday at 10am ET. Thursday and Friday games don't count — they're left off the board.
-
3
Earn points. The more you nail, the more you score — and a perfect week kicks off a bonus streak.
-
4
Win the season. Most points across the whole regular season wins. Everyone's picks reveal once each week locks.
Scoring
Sweep all 3 in back-to-back weeks and the bonus grows: a 2nd straight perfect week is worth 5, a 3rd is worth 6, and so on. Miss the sweep and the streak resets.
You have to beat the spread — a push is worth 0. If the line is 7 and the favorite wins by exactly 7 (e.g. 28–21), that's a push: no point for either side, and it can't count toward a perfect week.
New to "against the spread"? Read this →
The spread is a handicap that levels a mismatch. If Georgia is -7.5 against Auburn, Georgia must win by 8+ for a Georgia pick to count. Pick Auburn +7.5 and you win if Auburn loses by 7 or fewer — or wins outright. You're picking who "covers" the number, so even the underdog can be the right call. If the game lands exactly on the number (a "push"), it's worth 0 — you have to beat the spread, not tie it. Don't worry — every game shows its spread right on the pick screen.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost?
$40 for the whole season — a one-time buy-in. Sign up for your account first, then pay the $40 to the organizer to lock in your spot. Every player's entry goes into the pot, and the player with the most points at the end of the regular season takes it all.
How does the "3-leg parlay" work?
Each week your 3 picks act like a 3-leg parlay: the more legs you hit, the more you score (1 = 1 pt, 2 = 2 pts, 3 = 4 pts). String together perfect weeks and the bonus grows — that's your shot to win big.
What happens on a "push"?
A push is when the game lands exactly on the spread — for example, the line is 7 and the favorite wins by exactly 7 (28–21). A push is worth 0 points for either side: you have to beat the spread, not just tie it. A push also can't count as one of your 3 correct for a perfect week.
Do I need to know anything about sports betting?
Nope. The only concept is the "spread," and the app shows it on every game. You just tap the team you think will cover — the rest is explained right there.
When are picks due each week?
Picks lock Saturday at 10am ET, before the main slate. Thursday and Friday games are excluded, so you're never on the hook for a game that already kicked off. A live countdown shows you exactly how long you've got.
Which games can I pick?
Only games featuring a Top-25 ranked team (AP poll) that aren't played Thursday or Friday. Each week's eligible games are pulled in automatically with their spreads.
What happens if I miss a week?
You'll score zero for that week and any perfect-week streak resets — but you're still very much in the season-long race. One rough week won't knock you out.
How is the winner decided?
Simple: the most total points across the entire regular season wins. Ties are broken by total correct picks, then perfect weeks. The winner takes the pot.
Can everyone see my picks?
Not until the week locks. Your picks stay private until the Saturday deadline passes — then everyone's are revealed on the Results page so there's no peeking.
Is my account secure?
Yes. Passwords are encrypted (never stored as plain text) and your session is protected. We only need an email and a display name to get you playing.
