Along with a full board of betting action for each and every week of the football season, most online sportsbooks also offer weekly football contests to add even more excitement to the action on the field.

Some of these contests are free to join if you have an active online betting account. Other contests may require an upfront entry fee, but the money up for grabs is well worth the investment.

Types of Football Contests

One of the most common contests for football season tests your overall handicapping skills. Each week you need to pick the winners of specified games against the spread.

Points are awarded for every correct pick and added to your total score for the entire season.

Some contests will award cash prizes at the halfway point and there are usually a set number of cash prizes for the players with the most points at the end of the regular season.

There could be separate contests for college football and the NFL.

Survivor Pool

Another extremely popular contest for football is a survivor pool. Usually tied to the 17-week NFL regular season schedule, you need to pick one team to win straight-up each week.

The catch is that you can only use a specific team once.

If your team wins that week, you move on. If your team loses, you are out.

Depending on the specific rules, a contestant may have to pick a different winner for all 17 weeks or simply be the last man standing among everyone that was entered.

In case of ties, the total prize money is normally split among everyone still eligible to win.

Some football contests are tied to a specific day or time.

There might be a Thursday night contest for college football and a Monday night football contest for the NFL.

Some contests use the classic “squares” concept where each contestant gets a number for each side in a game.

If the score at the end of a quarter, first half and the actual game match those two numbers, that person wins.

This is purely a game of chance, but a fun way to try and win some extra cash or prizes.
