My Numbers (0 entered)
Add your own projected spreads without changing PickGauge Model #. Enter numbers directly in the My Numbers board column, or bulk-fill the same cells from CSV. Numeric values use PickGauge's home-team perspective: home −7 = −7; away −3 = +3. CSV also accepts values like Georgia −7 or PK.
My Numbers performance
Grade a past week
Uses the market line from when each number was entered, frozen at that time — never today's line or today's Model #.
Models & weights (0 on)
Use PickGauge Model # as your default projection, or turn on other models to compare them and build a Custom Blend.

Quick reference
Pool entries
Each entry holds up to the pool's pick limit (7 by default). Select a team from This Week or All Games while this entry is active.
After the games
Nothing to do here. Once this week's games are over, your picks move to Results automatically for grading and the board clears for next week. Each archived week has a ↩ restore to board button in Results if you need it back.
Pool setup
Create a pool once. Each week, update its contest lines here.
Import another way
Create a pool from a Splash/ESPN PDF, or paste ESPN picks.
Pool details
Results
Picks are graded automatically once a day.Account
Lines and predictions are shared with everyone using this deployment. Your picks, entries, pools, and inputs sync only to your own signed-in account.
Sync troubleshooting
Normal syncing is automatic. These controls force a one-time pull or push when you're diagnosing a device that hasn't caught up.
Live odds & display settings
Lines come from The Odds API (NCAAF spreads) via PickGauge's shared connection — works automatically once you're signed in, nothing to set up.
Advanced: use your own API key
Nothing to set up by default — the shared connection only pulls when someone clicks Refresh lines and reuses recent data otherwise, so it's metered carefully. Want your own separate budget instead of sharing the pool's? Get a free key at the-odds-api.com and paste it above.
Advanced: provider diagnostics
This is provider-level troubleshooting information from the most recent odds response. It may reflect PickGauge's shared connection or your personal API key if you configured one above. It does not affect how you use the board.
Backup
Everything saves in this browser automatically, and syncs to your account too if you're signed in. Export a file to move it or keep a copy.
If you're signed in, importing a backup asks for confirmation, then atomically restores it to your account — every signed-in device will see it. If you're not signed in, it only replaces what's stored in this browser; your account (if you have one) is untouched.
"Reset this browser" only clears what's stored locally here — if you're signed in, it does not touch your synced account data, which can pull back down the next time this browser syncs. Export a backup first if you actually want to keep a copy before clearing.
Delete my data
Permanently deletes everything synced to your account — every pool, pick, entry, and archived week, on every signed-in device. This is separate from your sign-in itself (email/password/session), which you manage from your account menu.
This can't be undone. Export a backup first (above) if you might want a copy. Not signed in? There's nothing on the server to delete — use "Reset this browser" above instead.

Key PickGauge terms
PickGauge Model #
PickGauge's default projected spread. It blends five selected prediction models with the live market and becomes available when the market plus at least three of those models are available.
How PickGauge Model # works →Edge
The point difference between the active model projection and the line you are picking against. In a pool, that means the pool's locked line—not today's live market.
Edge & Cover % methodology →Cover %
PickGauge's estimated probability that the recommended side covers the listed spread, based on historical FBS cover-margin behavior.
How Cover % is estimated →Strong / Good / Slim
These labels describe the size of the model-vs-line gap. Strong clears the higher edge threshold, Good clears the normal edge threshold, and Slim means the model and the line barely disagree. They describe edge size, not a guarantee.
Market vs. locked pool line
Market is the current sportsbook spread. A locked pool line is the contest number your pick will actually be graded against. Pool Edge uses the locked line; Market remains visible for comparison.
CLV
Closing Line Value. In pool views, CLV shows how the live market has moved from the line your contest locked. Once you pick a side, positive CLV means the movement improved the value of the number you already have.
CLV methodology →My Numbers
Your own projected spreads. They are saved separately from PickGauge Model # so you can compare your opinion with PickGauge and the market without silently changing the default model.
Custom Blend
An optional user-controlled blend of PickGauge Model # and any additional models or line inputs you enable. When active, Custom Blend drives Edge and Cover % while the standalone PickGauge Model # remains visible unchanged. Turn PickGauge Model # off to build a fully custom Model # from only the models and inputs you choose.
How Custom Blend works →Brad Powers / Computer Line
Two projected spreads imported from the Powers newsletter. They can be shown for comparison or intentionally added to a Custom Blend.
How do I…?
Refresh market lines
Open All Games and use Refresh lines. Signed-in users can use PickGauge's shared odds connection automatically; a personal Odds API key in Settings is optional.
Create or update an ATS pool
Open All Games → Pools. Create the pool once, then update that week's contest lines by importing a supported sheet/PDF or entering lines manually.
Customize the models
Open All Games → More → Models & weights. Keep PickGauge Model # as the default, turn on other models for comparison, or assign weights to build a Custom Blend.
Add my own projections
Open All Games → More → My Numbers. Enter projected spreads directly or import a CSV. My Numbers stay separate from PickGauge Model #.
Understand why PickGauge likes a mobile matchup
On mobile, open Why [team]? on the game card to reveal model agreement, key-number context, My Numbers, CLV when applicable, and Matchup Intelligence.
Back up or restore my data
Open Settings. Export creates a JSON backup. Import/Restore replaces the appropriate saved state after confirmation; signed-in account data syncs across your devices.

Methodology explains the model, Edge/Cover %, CLV, data sources, and what is context versus an actual model input.
