“We’ve had so much positive feedback about the in-season contests that we really did highlight that,” SuperBook vice president Jay Kornegay said. “Everything that we’re doing this year is ahead of last year’s pace, so we’re happy about that.”
Along with crowning the overall SuperContest champion, the NFL handicapping contest will feature six three-week contests, three six-week contests and two nine-week contests.

The 11 in-season contests offer a total of $810,000 in prize money. The remaining entry fees will go to the season-long prize pool, with the top 20 places paid.
The SuperContest pays back 100 percent of the entry fees, and contestants can have up to seven entries.
