How to play Beat The Bag
- The object of the game is to compete against "The Bag" weekly by trying to finish ahead of him in the weekly standings. This contest contains NFL spreads and totals only.
- You must make 5 plays each week to be eligible for that week's free play prize, and you must have made 70 total plays (equivalent of 14 weeks) to be eligible for the $25,000 in season-end cash prizes.
- You must make one 3-unit best bet each week. All other plays will be based on one unit.
- You must beat The Bag and have + units for the week to win. If The Bag scores +3.00 in a given week and you score +3.01 you will have beaten The Bag. Even if The Bag goes 5-0, +7.00 that week, you can beat him by going 5-0., +7.01! Again, players must have a positive score to earn prizes and it is also possible to have common plays as The Bag as his selections do not come off the board.
