Over Under

Two players, one career number. Pick who had more. The winner stays and a new challenger arrives, and the two get closer together the longer you last.

One wrong pick ends the run.

What is Over Under?

Over Under is an endless NFL stat comparison. Two players appear with one career number between them -- passing yards, sacks, receptions -- and you pick who had more. The winner stays on and a new challenger arrives, so a run builds instead of resetting, and the two get closer together the longer you survive.

How to play Over Under

Tips and scoring

The two players are far apart at the start and get closer the longer you last, so the opening picks are close to free. Take them quickly and save your thinking for the tenth in a row, where they are within a fraction of each other.

Career totals reward availability more than peak. Between a great player with eight seasons and a good one with fourteen, the good one has usually accumulated more of whatever number is on screen.

The winner stays while a new challenger arrives, so a run builds rather than resetting. Once you have a sense of the incumbent's number you are really only judging the newcomer.

Over Under questions

When does a run end?
One wrong pick, and that is the whole game. Your score is simply how far you got.
Does it get harder as I go?
Yes, and by design. The opening pairs are far apart and close to free; by ten in a row the two men are within a fraction of each other, which is where the run is actually decided.
Does the stat stay the same?
No. The number being compared changes between matchups and can cover passing, rushing, receiving or defensive production, so read what is on screen before choosing.
Why do the same players keep appearing?
The winner never leaves his seat -- only the challenger changes. Once you have a feel for the incumbent's number you are really only judging the newcomer.
