How these picks work
Every pick here is a straight-up winner. Buck Kincaid is Hizzle's football expert: he takes the stronger team, and in a close matchup he backs the home team when it has the better quarterback and the better defense. He picks each game about a day and a half before kickoff and never sees the Sim's pick.
Hizzle players pick every game in Beat the Sim. How they split shows at kickoff, when picks lock. The Sim's pick unlocks at kickoff too. Green = right, red = wrong, once the game is final.
