Vegas brought the risk
Point spreads make every choice mean something. A safe favorite can steady your card. A live underdog can change the whole week.

Our story
Football picks needed a better game.
Two picks. One card. Make your play.

Where Paigow came from
Pai Gow brought the structure
Pai Gow asks you to build two hands and balance strength with opportunity. We translated that tension into two football picks that work together.
Football brought the rivalry
The best picks are the ones you argue about with friends. Paigow turns the weekly slate into a shared table with a result everyone can understand.
“Vegas gave us the risk. Pai Gow gave us the structure. Football gave us the rivalry.”
The card
Simple to play. Hard to master.
Two picks from two different games. Every spread changes the decision, and every point is visible before you lock it in.
1
Outright winner
Choose who wins.
Pick any eligible team to win outright. Its saved spread sets the value from 0.1 to 110 points. The harder the winner, the bigger the reward.
Heavy favorite0.1 → 110Big underdog
2
Underdog ATS
Back the dog.
Choose an underdog to cover. A cover earns 50 points. If the dog also wins outright, the spread-based Dog Bonus can push the pick to 110.

Why it feels different
Less noise. More tension.
Two meaningful decisions
No twenty-leg ticket. No endless form. Your entire week comes down to one outright winner and one underdog.
Risk you can see
The scoring ruler shows what a spread is worth before you submit. Bigger risk creates bigger upside.
Every card tells a story
A favorite can set the floor. A dog can swing the table. The combination is yours.
Built for friends
Challenge one person in Head to Head or bring the whole crew into a Pool.
One game, two formats
The same 220-point card powers direct rivalries and full-field standings.
Scoring that explains itself
Saved lines, visible point bands, and automatic grading keep every outcome traceable.
Built at PoolHouse
A game made for the group chat.
Paigow Football was created by Anthony Madrid and Jay Biba as part of PoolHouse.
They wanted a football game that was quick enough to play every week, strategic enough to debate all weekend, and social enough to build real rivalries over a season.
The table is open
Two picks can change the entire week.
Build your card, challenge a friend, and see where your read lands.
