Regular season NFL play kicks off Sept. 9, so before then, we expect to see the usual parade of casino football contests. The first one across the line is the "Pro Football Survivor Contest" at Wynn Las Vegas. Participants must register (and pay a $100 entry fee) by Sept. 11. Then they pick one game weekly (no spread), and if their team wins, they advance to the next week's round. The last person (or persons) standing at the end of the season wins (or splits) $100,000.
