PicksPal

edit

PicksPal.com allows its users to compete daily in ‘pick em games with points made available to them upon registering. The games vary from whether an NBA team will cover the spread on opening night to who will score first in the college football game of your choice this weekend. While the site is free and ad-supported, users can purchase pick packages from the site’s best pickers through the “Genius Picks” service. Other sports sites like YouBeQB! also provide fans with a new take on the fantasy sports/roto league competition model.
