Gridiron Core

What Gridiron Core is

Gridiron Core is a sports information site for college football and the NFL. It covers live scores and schedules, team and player stats, stat leaders, conference and division standings, the AP, Coaches and College Football Playoff rankings, depth charts, team profiles for every FBS program and all 32 NFL clubs, and player profiles.

It also has free predictors — build a College Football Playoff or NFL playoff bracket, or call a season game by game — and free pick'em games you can play against friends and family for bragging rights.

Gridiron Core is not a gambling site

No real money is ever involved. Gridiron Core does not accept wagers or bets, does not take deposits or entry fees, does not pay out cash or prizes, and does not sell anything that could be used to place a bet.

Gridiron Core has no sportsbook partners, no betting affiliate links and no gambling advertising. It does not link visitors to sportsbooks or betting apps.

Points, records, leaderboards and awards on Gridiron Core are bragging rights. They have no monetary value and cannot be exchanged for anything.

Why point spreads appear

Like ESPN, CBS Sports and every major sports outlet, Gridiron Core prints a game's point spread and total next to the matchup as context for how close the game is expected to be. The figures come from the same public scoreboard data ESPN publishes. They are information about the game — Gridiron Core does not offer them for betting.

Who it is for

Fans following their team, friends running a weekly pick'em for fun, and anyone who wants scores, stats and rankings in one place. Reading the site needs no account; an account is free and is only needed to save picks or join a group.
