Football Bowl Pick'em Details

In College Football Bowl Bowl Pick'em Pools members select the winner of active bowl games in your pool. Your pool can be setup to either use the point margin or select games straight up. Point margins are great for evening out the game. To illustrate, if Florida is playing Ohio St and Ohio St is favored by 7 points, this means that if you select Ohio St they must win by more than 7 in order for you to get your selection correct. On the other hand, if you select Florida that means Florida can lose the game by up to 6 points and you still get your selection correct.

SimplySportsWare releases the margins once they are released but you can customize them for your pool as you see fit. The hosting fee starts at $9.95 which includes the first 10 members.
