If you have heard the term "prop sheet" and wondered what it means, you are in the right place. A prop sheet is a collection of prediction questions about an upcoming game — covering everything from who will win to individual player performances — that you fill out before the game starts.

How Prop Sheets Work on PredictVS

On PredictVS, every game has a prop sheet available before it begins. The sheet includes multiple prediction questions across different categories:

Game Winner — Which team will win? Points scale with the moneyline odds.
Totals (Over/Under) — Will the combined score go over or under a set number?
Spread — Will the favorite win by enough to cover the point spread?
Player Props — Will a specific player hit a statistical milestone? (e.g., Connor McDavid over 1.5 points)
Period/Quarter Props — Predictions about specific periods of the game.

Prop Sheet vs Live Picks

PredictVS offers two prediction modes. A prop sheet is filled out entirely before the game starts — you lock in all your picks at once. Live picks, on the other hand, let you make predictions round-by-round as the game unfolds, with new questions dropping every period or quarter.

Many predictors use both: fill out the prop sheet before the game for the full analysis experience, then switch to live picks during the game for in-the-moment predictions.

Prop Sheet Strategy Tips

Do not skip player props — They often have the best value because the odds are less efficient than game-level markets.
Look for correlated picks — If you think a game will be high-scoring, pick the over AND the high-scoring player props.
Check for injuries — A missing star player changes everything. Check the lineup before locking in your sheet.
Do not just pick favorites — Favorite picks earn fewer points. Finding underdog value is how top predictors climb the leaderboard.

How Prop Sheet Scoring Works

Each question on the prop sheet has a point value based on real betting odds. Correct predictions earn points proportional to the odds — a +200 underdog pick earns roughly twice as much as a -200 favorite pick. Your total points from the sheet are added to your contest standings and overall Elo rating.
