For many pools on RYP, the pool commissioner can choose whether picks are made straight up or against the spread. Many public pools on our platform are set to pick against the spread.
👉 To confirm your pool’s settings, log in, navigate to your pool, and scroll down to “Pool Rules” on the home page.
Example:
If the Rams beat the Lions but were favored by -15.5 points and only won by 9, that counts as a loss on your pick sheet, because they did not cover the spread.
