Greetings from fabulous Las Vegas. I’m finally thawing out after a week in snow-kissed Chicago and New York — back just in time for Super Bowl week festivities.
To fill this weekend’s football void and get everyone focused on the Next Big Thing after the Big Game, we are running a one-day basketball handicapping contest, free and open to all.
How to play
➡️ Sign up: You can see the full rules and register here.
➡️ Pick 8: Select any 8 games from today’s NBA or College slate.
➡️ Rank ‘Em: Order your picks by confidence level.
➡️ Fire up grill: Top three scorers walk away with a freezer full of Omaha Steaks — $250 gift certificate for 1st place, $150 for 2nd and $100 for 3rd.
Need an edge before you lock in your 8? Check out the latest from our experts:
