UNDERDOG JELLY BEAN SCORING
The Pick'em Format That Finally Gets It Right
Bigger risk, bigger reward. You can see it right on the screen.
We built a game where risk is rewarded, rooting is simple, and strategy actually matters. No spreadsheets. No calculators. Just football.
Why Traditional Pick'em Games Fall Short
Straight Up Games
Everyone just picks the favorites every week. There's no reward for taking risks, no strategic depth, and upsets feel totally random. Where's the fun in that?
Against the Spread Games
You're doing mental math while watching games. "Wait, what was the spread again?" You end up cheering for numbers instead of teams. And that late touchdown that doesn't affect the actual game? It just flipped your result. Frustrating!
Plus, spreads change during the week, they're confusing for casual fans, and honestly... they're just not fun at parties.
We Found a Better Way
Underdog Jelly Bean Scoring gives you the best of both worlds: the simplicity of straight-up games with the strategic depth of spread games - minus all the headaches.
Root for teams to WIN
No spreads, no point margins. Just cheer for your team to win. That's it.
Risk is rewarded
Bold picks pay off. Pick an underdog and watch them win? You just earned way more beans than the safe pick.
No math required
The bean count is right there on every team button. No calculations, no guesswork.
Anyone can play
Perfect for office games, parties, and groups with mixed football knowledge. Casual fans and die-hards compete on equal footing.
Here's the Fun Part
Every team button shows you exactly how many beans you'll earn if they win. That's it. No formulas, no calculations - just look at the number.
How it works:
Favorites: 10 beans - The safe pick. They're expected to win.
Slight underdogs: 12-15 beans - A little extra for a competitive game.
Big underdogs: 20-30+ beans - Now we're talking! The Jaguars beating the Chiefs? That's worth serious beans.
You see the bean count right on the button. Pick the Chiefs? 10 beans. Pick the underdog Jaguars to pull off the upset? 28 beans. Just pick who you think will win.
Here's Where It Gets Really Fun
Unlike other games where you're locked in at the start of the week, you can change your picks until each game kicks off. That means your strategy can evolve as Sunday unfolds.
The Sunday Strategy:
Morning games set the stage - see how your picks are doing
Afternoon games let you adjust - behind? Swap some picks for underdogs!
Sunday Night is decision time - play it safe or go for broke?
Monday Night is the ultimate closer - you know exactly where you stand
Behind going into the late games? Swap your safe picks for big underdogs. Ahead? Lock in favorites and coast to victory. It's a game within the game - and way more fun than "set and forget."
