Switch to Predict and pick them, then copy the link and send it to someone who disagrees. Each game locks when it kicks off, so a card cannot be filled in after the fact, and compare picks will show you only the ones you split on.
Confidence points. In predict mode each game here carries a 1–10 box. Rank your ten and a wrong favorite costs what you said it was worth — your scorecard totals what you earned against what you staked. Leave them blank and nothing changes.

How these ten were chosen

By arithmetic on the same board you can see, not by anyone's judgment of what matters. Each game scores for a ranked team (more for a higher rank), for a close betting line, for being a conference game, and for the two teams' efficiency ratings; a lopsided line scores against it however good the favorite is, and a game against an FCS opponent scores heavily against. A game whose two teams are not decided yet cannot be scored at all, and is left out. The top ten by that score make the card, in kickoff order.
That means the card can miss a rivalry with two unranked teams, and it will. It is a rule, and a rule you can check beats a list someone picked.
