User Picks is a free college-football pick'em with two games in it. 5-Lines is the original: every week you pick five teams to cover the spread. Your lines lock the moment you submit, so you are graded against the number you actually took, not a later move. Death Race 100 is the survivor game. Pick as many teams as you like each week, straight up — no spread, just win the game. First to 100 wins takes the season. One loss and your race is over. The format is Shane Ryan's, credited and linked in the app. Everyone plays in one global pool. Picks are public as soon as they land — copying a rival is fair game. 5-Lines standings rank by wins only, with equal wins sharing a rank. The Death Race 100 board ranks by win count, with finishers in finishing order. Leagues are a lens, not a second competition. Create or join with a code to watch a smaller board, across both games. Your picks still count in the same pool. No money changes hands. No ads, no in-app purchases, no tracking. Sign in with Apple or Google. Delete your account any time from the profile menu. The regular season only — week 1 through conference-championship week.

LeagueLocks turns your fantasy football group chat into a season-long game of skill, bragging rights, and one shared prize pool. Every week, one member of your league is on the clock. They scout the slate and submit three picks with live odds. The rest of the league votes on which pick becomes the league's official play of the week. Wins grow the pot. Losses get roasted in the chat. Standings update all season, so everyone knows who's been carrying the league. HOW IT WORKS Start a private league and invite your crew — it's free. A weekly rotation puts each member on the clock. The chooser submits three picks with live odds. The league votes; majority rules. Results settle automatically when games go final. Standings, history, and the prize-pool ledger keep the season honest. Also in the app: league chat with live event cards, push notifications for deadlines and results, the Playbook (weekly NFL analysis), and shareable result cards. WHAT LEAGUELOCKS IS NOT LeagueLocks is not a sportsbook. No wagers are placed in the app, and no money is held, transferred, or paid out on LeagueLocks. It is a social tracker: your league's picks, votes, results, and an honor-system ledger. Any real-world betting happens off-platform, at licensed sportsbooks, at each member's own discretion, where legal. 21+. Questions? contact@leaguelocks.com
