Head-to-head NFL picks against the spread — you and one friend, taking turns all season. He picks, your phone tells you, you pick right back.
No commissioner, no spreadsheet, no “did you text me your picks?”
Start a match and text your friend the invite. He taps it, makes an account, and you're both in. Not ready to rope anyone in yet? Run a practice week by yourself first.
You take a game against the spread, he takes one back. The line locks the second you commit, so you're scored on the number you actually saw.
Live scores, a week record and a season record, and a chat thread where one of you is going to have a very good Sunday night.
Most picks apps are a twelve-person pool where nobody remembers whose turn it is, and half of them want your credit card. This one is a duel.
One friend. One season-long record between the two of you. The whole point is that somebody is ahead and both of you know it.
A real notification the moment he picks — with the game, the line, and a Pick now button on the card. Fire a reply back without even opening the app.
No wagers, no stakes, no pot, no wallet. Nothing changes hands but the bragging rights. That's deliberate, and it isn't going to change.
The spread you picked is the spread you're scored on, even after it moves. The server keeps every number; your phone just shows it to you.
One shows you getting started, the other follows a full week of picks from the first game to the final score. No account needed — press play.
Either way it's the same game and the same account — a practice week just means you're the only one picking until you invite somebody.
The full experience: your turn arrives as a real notification with a sound you choose, a Pick now button, and reply straight from the card.
Already have it? You're all set — just open the H2H app and start playing!
Nothing to install — the whole game runs in the browser, and you can add it to your home screen so it opens like an app.
Open it in the browserNo. There's no wagering, no entry fee, no prize, no odds to pay out and no way to move money between players. You're picking sides against the spread for a record, the way you'd argue about it at a bar. The spreads are real; the stakes aren't.
It isn't gambling — nothing of value is wagered or won, so there's nothing to regulate and nowhere you can't play. That's a design decision, not a loophole: money between players was left out on purpose and is staying out.
Not through the app, no. If you and your buddy normally have a beer riding on the game, this is that argument — the picks, the line, the season-long score — without anything actually riding on it. What you two get up to away from the app is your business.
Each game carries a betting line — the points one team is favoured by. Picking a team means picking them to beat that line, not just to win. Take a 6½-point underdog and they can lose by six and you still cover. The line is locked the moment you commit your pick, so a number that moves later doesn't change how you're scored.
No. Every game shows the current line, both teams' records and who's on TV, and you can pick on a hunch and do fine. The people who study it will tell you otherwise, and beating them is the fun part.
Two per match — that's the whole idea. You can run several matches at once, so you can have a separate season going against each friend, but every one of them is one-on-one.
No. You take turns. When your friend picks, your phone tells you it's your turn — and nudges you again later if you forget.
It's free to download and free to play. If we add paid extras down the road, the game between you and your friend stays free of money either way.
