What pick’em is
Pick’em is a parallel contest to Bones wagering — a crew can run either, or both. Instead of staking Bones, you just pick a side on each game in the week’s slate. Get it right, score a point; get it wrong, you don’t.
Straight-up vs. against-the-spread
Depending on how your crew is set up, picks are graded one of two ways:
- Straight-up — pick who wins the game, period.
- Against the spread — pick who covers the point spread, which rewards correctly reading a mismatch, not just picking the favorite every time.
Locks
A pick locks the moment its game starts. You can change your mind as many times as you want before then; after kickoff, it’s final.
Grading and standings
Once a game ends, every pick on it grades automatically — no commissioner has to sit there scoring games by hand. Pick’em standings track correct picks across the voyage, separate from any Bones wagering standings in the same crew.
