How it'll work

  1. 1

    10 games each Tuesday

    GIE drafts a slate of 5 underdog shots + 5 toss-ups. Cole reviews Wednesday and publishes. Picks open immediately, lock at first kickoff Saturday.

  2. 2

    Rank 1–10 by confidence

    Most confident pick gets 10 points if you hit. Least confident gets 1. Max 55 points per week. Easy on a phone in 90 seconds.

  3. 3

    GIE plays too

    The model submits its own picks every week under GIE (model). See if you can outpick a calibrated rating system on the weekly slate.
