Question 1

What is SportsRec?

SportsRec is a free sports excitement monitor that scores every game from 0 to 100 based on win probability swings, closeness, and matchup quality. It helps you decide which games are worth watching without spoiling the results.

Question 2

SportsRec covers college basketball (CBB), NBA, NFL, and college football (CFB) with real-time scoring and spoiler-free recommendations.

Question 3

Is SportsRec free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, SportsRec is completely free. You can use it in your browser or install it as an app on your phone.

Question 4

How does SportsRec decide which games to watch today?

Accepted Answer

Each game is scored on two dimensions: matchup importance (team rankings, betting spreads, rivalry history, TV coverage, playoff implications) and in-game excitement (win probability swings, lead changes, comeback magnitude, final-minutes tension). These combine into a single 0-100 score.

Question 5

What does Must-Watch mean?

Accepted Answer

Must-Watch games score 78 or higher out of 100. These are games with exceptional excitement, dramatic finishes, or elite matchups between top teams. Roughly 5-10% of games on a given day earn this tier.

Question 6

Does SportsRec show live scores?

Accepted Answer

SportsRec is spoiler-free by default. Scores are hidden until you choose to reveal them. You see the excitement tier (Must-Watch, Interesting, etc.) first, then choose when to see results — so you can watch recorded games without spoilers.

Question 7

What college basketball rankings does SportsRec use?

Accepted Answer

SportsRec uses analytics-based predictive rankings (accounting for strength of schedule, efficiency, and tempo) alongside the AP Top 25 poll. Both are used when scoring matchup importance for college basketball games.

Can I install SportsRec as an app?

Accepted Answer

Yes. On iPhone, open sportsrec.app in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. On Android, Chrome will prompt you to install automatically. SportsRec is also available on the iOS App Store. All versions are free.
