Lines and spreads
Some games look decided before kickoff. So the favorite carries a handicap: pick Texas at −4.5 and Texas has to win by five or more. The question stops being who wins and becomes by how much.
NFL + college football
Pick the lines.
Pick the lines.
Rank your confidence.
Beat the pool.
Every week, fourteen games against the spread and the total. Put 10 points on the pick you are surest of, 1 on your tenth, and every point you get right counts. Early September through the playoffs.
Three ideas, one weekly score
Over / under
Forget the winner: will both teams together score more or fewer points than the total? Every total ends in a half point, so there are no pushes, only right and wrong.
Confidence
Rank your picks. The one you would bet the house on gets 10 points, your tenth gets 1, and the games you do not care about get none. A perfect week is 55.
