What is KSL Sports Pick'em?

Every week, the KSL Sports staff will choose five college and pro football games to follow: BYU, Utah and Utah State, as well as two national matchups for college, and then five various pro games.

To play, you pick which team will win and predict the final score. Prizes of up to $100 will be awarded for the closest guesses each week. Keep playing and you could win $500, the season's grand prize.

For 2026, KSL Sports' Pick'em includes the regular 14-week season and bowl games. First up, the Utes play on Sept. 3, and the Cougars and Aggies play Sept. 5. The pro season starts a week later.
