FAQ

How Week 1 matchups are built.

How are the win picks built?

26 published sources. CBS expert grids, BUSR scores, sportsbook moneylines, power ranks (higher club wins), and short published fades. Unpicked games on a desk are skipped.

Is this a bet slip?

No. It is a mash of public picks and 1-32 boards. The market favorite still wins most games because books and power ranks overlap.
