New On PrizePicks: Stack College Football Winners + Player Picks

Want to combine a college football game winner with your favorite players? Now you can on PrizePicks. 

That means you can pick Texas to win, Arch Manning’s pass yards, and at least one pick from another team. Here’s how it works.

In the app, find the game you want to pick from the Explore tab or the College Football tab."

Start by adding a Team Pick to your lineup — a winner, spread, or over/under — then round things out with 2-5 Player Picks by picking More or Less on their stats. The more picks you add, the higher your potential payout.

Player Picks don’t need to come from the same game as your Team Pick; you can mix in players across the college football slate, or jump to another sport completely. Just make your picks from at least two different teams to submit your lineup.
