What Are “Demons & Goblins” On PrizePicks?
PrizePicks has begun marking squares with Demons and Goblins. These markings add a new element to the square they’ve been placed on.
Demons are statistically harder to win, but qualify for higher payouts. Entries with demons can now win payouts up to $100X! This is the highest multiplier in PrizePicks history.
Goblins live on the other end of the spectrum from Demons. When you see a square marked with a Goblin, that means that pick is statistically easier to win. However, that pick also will come with a lower payout multiplier.
So you now have Demons, Goblins, and “normal” - for lack of a better term - squares to pick from in your NBA and NFL games.
More Demons = harder wins, but bigger wins.
More Goblins = easier wins, but smaller wins.
It’s a fantastic twist on PrizePicks Pick’Em games, and a feature worth trying today. Play now and see for yourself! And remember: if you’re a new customer, use PrizePicks promo code ALARM when signing up.
Demons And More Money, Or Goblins And Easier Wins? The Choice Is Yours
In the past, PrizePicks had only offered increased payouts as parts of promotions that have since come and gone. But the good news is that Demons and Goblins are here to stay.
Demons & Goblins were first introduced in NFL contests. This week, they’ve been rolled out to NBA games as well. So no matter which sport you prefer, you’ll be able to pick between them on PrizePicks.
What are the best strategies for using Demons & Goblins? That depends on the size of the multiplier that you’re happy with. There’s a pretty literal tradeoff of risk/reward when selecting between Demons & Goblins.
That said, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- You can add more than one Demon or Goblin to an entry
- Entries can contain both Demons and Goblins
- “Regular” squares also can be combined with Demons and Goblins in the same entry
- Multipliers aren’t set in stone for Demons and Goblins, so always check your potential payout before placing your entry
Be sure to check back here at Fantasy Alarm for our daily expert PrizePicks plays. We’ll be introducing Demons & Goblins into our expert picks and sharing more on the best strategies that we’ve been winning with.

Ravens signed Derrick Henry to a two-year, $30 million contract extension.
Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Henry is the first running back over the age of 30 to make $15 million per year. Henry hit the open market at the peak of the “running backs don’t matter” discourse and signed a measly two-year, $16 million deal with the Ravens last offseason. He spent the 2025 season stuffing nerds in lockers with 1,921 yards and 16 touchdowns on 325 attempts. The monstrous season more than earned him a raise and the Ravens knew the assignment. Rapoport noted that Henry wants to finish his career in Baltimore and the extension will give him the opportunity to do so.
ESPN’s Rob Demovsky reports Packers C Elgton Jenkins is skipping offseason workouts for contract reasons.
Jenkins is being moved to center ahead of the 2025 season. He is a left guard by trade but has also spent time at both tackle spots during his six years in Green Bay. The Packers signed him to a four-year, $68 million extension in 2022 that runs through 2026. The deal initially made him a highly-paid guard. It now has him as one of the league’s most expensive centers. The Packers could save $20 million by cutting Jenkins next offseason, something they would likely do unless Jenkins is immediately one of the league’s best centers. Jenkins, in turn, is almost certainly looking to up his guarantees on the final two years of the contract. Though, as Demovsky points out, the Packers rarely adjust contracts this far from their expiration, Jenkins could be the exception to the rule.
Dak Prescott said George Pickens is “more than a 50-50 catcher.”
Prescott in a Wednesday morning radio interview was effusive in his praise of Pickens, who was traded last week from the Steelers to Dallas in exchange for draft compensation. “You put the ball anywhere in his vicinity, very strong hands,” Prescott said of Pickens. “He’s more than a 50-50 catcher. ... I’m excited for him. I know that we need some help at that position.” Pickens, 24, has 2,841 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns over three NFL seasons and is widely expected to see more single coverage in Dallas than he did as the unquestioned No. 1 wideout in Pittsburgh. Opposing coverage units won’t be able to shade safeties toward his side of the field with CeeDee Lamb threatening the middle of the field. Pickens shapes up as a volatile WR2/3 in 2025.
The Lions will play the Vikings on Christmas Day.
The Week 17 matchup between longtime NFC North rivals will be available exclusively on Netflix. Coming off a devastating Divisional Round loss to Washington last January, the Lions will be prominently featured by the league in 2025. Jared Goff and the Lions beat Minnesota twice during the 2024 regular season: A 31-29 Week 7 victory in Minnesota and a 31-9 Week 18 drubbing in Detroit. Goff combined to throw for 511 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions in those games. Justin Jefferson, meanwhile, was limited to ten catches for 131 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings’ 2024 games against Detroit.
The Eagles will face the Chiefs in Week 2.
The NFL’s trickle of 2025 schedule news includes a Super Bowl rematch in Kansas City, where Patrick Mahomes and company will look for a little revenge after getting bulldozed by the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, 40-22. Philadelphia’s elite defense held Mahomes to a mere 226 yards on 32 pass attempts, with much of that production coming in fourth quarter garbage time. Jalen Hurts threw of two scores and ran in another as Saquon Barkley was held in check to the tune of 57 scoreless yards on 23 carries. If the Chiefs are to get back at the Eagles in Week 2, they’ll have to do a far better job of protecting Mahomes.
The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo believes RB Kaleb Johnson is a “schematic fit” for the Steelers offense.
Johnson, a third-round draft pick who last month was listed as a co-starter alongside Jaylen Warren on the Pittsburgh depth chart, was a hyper-productive back in Iowa’s zone-based rushing scheme, a system used frequently in Arthur Smith’s run-first offense. Only three college running backs in 2024 logged more zone rushes than Johnson. Johnson’s goals in offseason practices, according to DeFabo, “are to learn the playbook and earn the coaching staff’s trust with the hope of becoming an ‘every-down back’ sooner rather than later.” That might require Johnson to improve his pass blocking. The rookie said he’s worked on that with Warren — one of the best blocking backs in the NFL — in recent days.
