Standard
The usual Player Pick projection. It normally presents both More and Less choices.
PrizePicks Player Picks · Rule explainer
Demons &
Goblins,
unmasked.
They are adjusted PrizePicks player-stat projections—not separate games. A Demon makes the More line harder for higher potential payout; a Goblin makes it easier for lower potential payout.
The fast answer
One player. Three possible versions of the line.
Demon
A tougher adjusted More projection. It can raise the potential payout shown for the full entry.
Goblin
An easier adjusted More projection. It lowers the potential payout shown for the full entry.
Demon vs. Goblin
The icon changes the line first—then the payout.
PrizePicks can show standard, Demon, and Goblin versions of a player’s projection when available. The exact projection and payout are entry-specific, so check the current board rather than relying on a fixed multiplier chart.

How to read the board
Treat each special projection as a different research question.
Identify the version
Check whether the square is standard, a red Demon, or a green Goblin before comparing it with any other line.
Read the exact number
The special line is an adjusted threshold. A player, stat, and number should match the current board exactly.
Notice the available side
Demon and Goblin squares are More-only. A Less research view cannot be placed against that special projection.
Check the entry screen
PrizePicks displays the current potential payout for the combination you actually selected. That is the figure to evaluate.
No permanent payout table belongs here.
PrizePicks states that a Demon can increase potential payouts and a Goblin can lower them, but the multiplier varies with the selected projections and current entry rules. The reliable source is the amount displayed in the app or on the final entry screen—not an old screenshot, a fixed example, or a general label.
Common questions
PrizePicks Demons & Goblins FAQ
What are Demons and Goblins on PrizePicks?
They are special Player Pick projections. A red Demon is a harder More line with higher potential payout, while a green Goblin is an easier More line with lower potential payout.
Do you choose More or Less on Demons and Goblins?
You choose More only. PrizePicks says the Less option is removed because the projection itself has been specially adjusted.
Can you mix Demons, Goblins, and regular projections?
Yes. PrizePicks says you can mix any combination of Demon, Goblin, and normal projections in a lineup, subject to its current lineup rules.
Can you use a promotion with a Demon or Goblin?
It depends on the promotion. PrizePicks says most promotions apply only to normal projections unless the offer specifically says otherwise. Verify the current promotion terms before entering.
Are Demons or Goblins automatically better?
No. “Harder” and “easier” describe the adjusted threshold, not whether a selection is automatically favorable. Compare the exact current line, the available player context, and the displayed entry payout before making your own decision.
