NFL Betting Contest Round-Up: Get In Before The Season Begins

With only weeks remaining before the season begins, the time is now to get in on preseason NFL betting contests because many of them require entry no later than the opening weekend. Below, we detail some of the season-long contests that our top-rated online sportsbooks are offering for 2025-26.

MyBookie NFL Betting Contests

The MyBookie NFL Supercontest

This contest requires participants to select five NFL teams against the spread each week of the regular season. Each correct pick earns 1 point, and pushes earn 0.5 points. Entrants must have a valid account at MyBookie and pay a $15 entry fee per entry, with up to 50 entries allowed per person. Weekly picks must be submitted before 1:00 PM each Sunday.

Late or missed picks will result in a score of zero. The leaderboard updates in real-time, and top performers receive prizes, with the highest score winning the largest share of the prize pool. Quarterly prizes are also awarded.

MyBookie’s NFL Survivor Contest

Each week, pick one NFL team to win outright, without concern for point spreads. Teams can’t be picked again for the remainder of the season. A loss or tie results in elimination from the contest for that entry.

The contest continues until one entry remains, and the winner will receive the $100,000 grand prize. If multiple survive through the entire NFL season, the prize will be split equally among them. Each entry is $15, and you can enter up to 50 times.

BetOnline NFL Contests

BetOnline’s $1,000,000 NFL Survivor Contest

BOL’s $100K NFL Survivor Contest lets members enter for $30, with up to 25 entries allowed. Early‑bird buyers of 3+ entries get one free entry. Each week, entrants pick one NFL team to win outright, with no repeats allowed. A loss or tie eliminates that entry.

The contest ends when one, none, or multiple entries survive, with prize money split accordingly and a guaranteed $1,000,000 prize, paid as cash, no rake, credited within five business days.

BetOnline’s $100,000 NFL Spread Survivor Contest

This contest works like a standard survivor contest, but it does factor in the point spread for each game. It runs Weeks 1–18 of the season. Players pay $20 per entry, and can enter up to 25 times.

Each week, members at BetOnline must pick one NFL team to cover the spread. You cannot choose the same team twice during the season, so selections do require some long-term strategy. Losses, pushes, or unplayed games before Wednesday eliminate the entry.

Registration closes Sept. 8, 2025, at 8:05 p.m. The contest ends when one, none, or multiple entries survive. The prize is split if there is a tie. A guaranteed $100,000 cash prize is credited within 72 hours.

BetUS NFL Betting Contests

BetUS’s 2025‑26 Pro‑Football Pick’em Contest

Starting Sept. 1, 2025, members at BetUS can pick the point‑spread winner of every NFL game each week, plus a Monday Night total for tiebreakers. Weekly prizes include a $1,000 free play for first place, $250 for second, and $100 for third.

Season leaders win $2,500 in free play bets. Picks lock 10 minutes before the first game of each week.
