The SureFire Picks to Click were powered by SureFire Ag Systems throughout the 2015 season. With our SureFire Picks to Click feature, we select six players or units from across the state each week that we felt would have breakout performances. We assembled a team of six media members to select one player (or unit) each week and tracked the cumulative statistics of our selections throughout the season similar to fantasy scoring.
