The Indianapolis Colts announced Friday the launch of a new free-to-play "Pick Six" predictor game presented by Caesars Sportsbook, available to fans in the U.S. through the official Colts’ Mobile App, built in partnership with Genius Sports.
“Pick Six” will enhance the run-up to every Colts game, challenging fans with a series of questions that ask them to predict aspects of team and player performance, says a press release. Players will go head-to-head with other fans with each question worth points that create weekly and season-long leader boards.
Official odds from Caesars Sportsbook will be embedded into select questions, helping to create "a highly engaging fan experience" throughout the upcoming NFL season, the parties explained.
