2010-2011 College Bowl Game Pick'em Contests

bowl-game-contests

It's college bowl season once again and that means that there are plenty of NCAA college football bowl game pick'em contests that you can play. Some of these games are mostly for fun and may offer a couple of prizes out of 100,000 players. Others bowl game contests will cost you a couple of bucks to play. How much you want to pay for a contest is up to you as there are many options I have listed below. You can skip below to the Pay For Bowl Contests if you aren't interested in the free contests.

The general gist of a college football bowl pick'em is as follows: You are going to create an entry in the contest of your choice. You will have to pick most or all of the bowl games. This pick can either be based on the winner of the game or it can be based on the point spread of the game. There are also contests that have you weight the teams based on your confidence that you think a particular team will win.

Once you submit your entry, that's it. Root for your all of your picks and maybe you'll be lucky and have a little extra money that you weren't expecting to get. The prizes range from winning $10 to having a long shot at winning a million dollars and everywhere between. Are you going to pick every single game right ... no and neither am I. But it's always fun to play the games.

You guessed it. I'm also hosting two tournaments on Fox Sports as well.

casinodave.com and casinodave.com 2
But the links I tried to use won't work so search for these groups from here. (you may have to create a Fox Sports login first)

The following tournaments have already started. But it isn't too late to enter these tournaments. You will be at a small disadvantage for not picking all of the possible teams but you can still make your picks and join a group. One thing that I have noticed is that the confidence pick'em contests tend to be locked once the first game has started. If not, then you are only missing the lowest confidence picks and can still do well in the game.
