Each season, many fantasy web sites offer opportunities to participate in pick ‘em games. While you can play pick ‘em with professional sports like football, these games are usually reserved for college sports, because of the aforementioned issue with the amateur status of college athletes.

Pick ‘em games are exactly what they sound like: the fantasy owner picks the winner of certain games as a matter of competition. The most popular pick ‘em game is for college football. This game is usually known as “Pigskin Pick ‘Em,” based on the familiar nickname for football. Fantasy owners are given a number of games each week in which they must choose the winners. Whoever picks the most correct winners wins for that week. Generally players will be asked to predict the final score for a few of the games, which functions as a tie breaker in case two or more players pick the same number of correct winners. Standings are kept for the duration of the college football season, and the player with the best prediction skills is the league champion at the end of the season!
