● BUILT FOR COLLEGE FOOTBALL SATURDAYS
College football pick’em for the whole group chat.
Pick games against the spread or straight up, or draft a college fantasy team. Playbook runs your private group’s lines, deadlines, and standings every Saturday.
PicksScoresGroups
CLWeek 2 picks.
THREE WAYS TO PLAY
Pick the game your group loves.
Every group chooses its own format. Run more than one and each keeps its own standings.
Spread pick’em
The classic office pool. Pick each game against a saved point spread, so every matchup is a coin flip worth arguing about.
Moneyline pick’em
Just pick the winner. No point spreads to explain, which makes it easy for families, offices, and first-timers.
College fantasy
Draft college players in a league of 8, 10, or 12, set a weekly lineup, and work the waiver wire all season.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
The pregame rundown.
Everything you need to know before you start your first pool.What does “against the spread” mean?+
Instead of only choosing who wins, you pick a team with its point spread. A favorite has to win by more than the spread; an underdog can win outright or stay within it.
When do picks lock?+
Each game locks at its scheduled kickoff, while submitted picks can also be locked by your group’s settings. Playbook shows the deadline on the pick card.
What happens if a game does not have a line?+
Regular-season slates finalize Wednesday at noon Central. A game without a qualifying line by then is left off that week’s pick card, so it cannot appear at the last minute.
Can I use the same picks in multiple groups?+
Yes. You make one weekly card, and those picks count in every group whose slate includes the matchup.
Can a commissioner customize the games?+
Yes. Groups can focus on selected conferences, favorite teams, Top 25 matchups, or a combination of those filters.
Does it cost anything to start?+
No. You can create an account, start a private group, invite players, and make weekly picks for free.
Is Playbook a betting app?+
No. Playbook takes no wagers and processes no payments. Lines are shown so everyone picks against the same number. If your group plays for a pot, members settle it among themselves outside the app. You must be 18 or older to play.
Is there an iPhone app?+
Yes. The iPhone app is in public beta. Join the TestFlight beta and sign in with the same account you use on the web.
