The Ultimate Football Challenge at Golden Nugget is a college and professional football handicapping contest. There are other football handicapping contests in Las Vegas but this is unique in that it is the only individual contest that lets players select from both pro and college in Nevada.
The entry fee is $1,000 with a limit of three entries per person. Contestants pick sides for seven college and pro football games against a static point spread. One major change from previous years is that the Golden Nugget no longer allows contestants to select over/under totals for the games.
