How the NFL Ballsy Picks works
Seven questions, one throw each. Name a player who fits the question within 20 seconds, then throw.
Distance comes straight from the share of the other players who named the same player: the rarer, the further out, on one scale for everyone. The % you see is the number that sets your distance.
FAQ
Where does the % come from?
From today's other players who got the question right and named the same player (your own pick isn't counted). Until 200 have, it is an early estimate that starts from how strongly the player fits the question in our data and moves to the real share as picks come in. Your % and distance are fixed when you pick.
Which games count?
