Picks and Pools is a free college football pick'em game. Each week you pick winners for the Top 25 games, either straight up or against the spread, and compete with everyone in The Pool or with your own private group of friends.

Straight up vs. against the spread

• Straight Up: pick the team you think wins the game outright.
• Against the Spread (ATS): pick the team you think covers the line. If a team is favored by 7, it has to win by more than 7 for that pick to count.

Playing with friends
