Football is one of the most popular and most watched sporting events in the country. Our Pro Pigskin Pick’em Contest provides an excellent opportunity to increase online advertising revenue. The contest runs from the beginning of the regular pro football season, and includes the wild card games, playoffs, conference championships, and the championship game; approximately 22 weeks (5 months). Our preseason warm-up starts in the middle of August (the second half of preseason). This gives players a chance to get registered early for the contest and win additional preseason weekly prizes, if you decide to do so. Preseason runs approximately 2 weeks.

Our contest template is setup to match your existing website design. Sponsor ad tile placement is very flexible. We can place static ad tiles on each page, rotate ad tiles on a percentage basis, and track ad tile impressions / click-thrus. Ad tiles can be combined to make larger ads or split to make smaller ads.
Stations that have moved to the 980 pixel wide station website can use our expanded template which offers a new vertical ad tile in this area at 215 pixels wide with a flexible length.

Administrators have the ability to edit polls, manage verbiage on the homepage, lookup contestant information, and view current registration, traffic and ad tile stats.
