WASHINGTON REDSKINS AND NBC SPORTS WASHINGTON PARTNER TO OFFER THE NFL’S 1^st  PREDICTIVE-GAMING LIVE TV PRESENTATION DURING ALL 2019 PRESEASON GAMES

 

LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va. – The Washington Redskins and NBC Sports Washington announced today a landmark partnership that will provide the National Football League’s (NFL) first interactive, predictive-gaming live television presentation of the team’s four preseason games. These pilot telecasts, entitled Predict the Game, will feature free-to-play contests where fans can win $1,000 cash each quarter as well as other exciting second chance prizes. The presentations will be exclusively available on NBC Sports Washington Plus, beginning Thursday, Aug. 8, when the Redskins open the preseason at the Cleveland Browns at 7:30 p.m.

 

"We're thrilled to partner with NBC Sports Washington to bring the first predictive, free-to-play live game telecast to the NFL," said Scott Shepherd, Senior Vice President. "This partnership strategically aligns with our organization’s commitment to constant innovation for our fans. We are continuously working to enhance the fan experience and strive to identify new, meaningful ways for our incredible fans to engage with our team."

 

The enhanced experience on NBC Sports Washington Plus will feature Predict the Game elements and other interactive features, combined with real-time statistics and information, displayed on a graphic overlay surrounding the game telecast. The full audio, video and graphics from the regular live-game coverage, which will be available simultaneously on NBC Sports Washington, will be included in the alternate presentation.

 

"We are committed to delivering the most engaging experience possible to fans, so the opportunity to partner with the Redskins to combine live NFL action with predictive gaming this preseason is something we are very excited about," said Damon Phillips, NBC Sports Washington SVP and General Manager.  

 

Predict the Game is an easy-to-enter, free contest that allows fans to predict various game and player performance outcomes through a series of questions that will appear on screen, as well as on users’ mobile or desktop devices. Points will be awarded for making selections, with additional points awarded for correct predictions. A top eligible scorer at the end of each quarter will earn or share the $1,000 prize, with a new game beginning each quarter. Randomly selected participants will also be eligible to receive other outstanding 2^nd chance prizes such as game tickets, VIP experiences and memorabilia.

 

Fans must enter Predict the Game, which is open to join throughout the entire game, by creating an account or logging in atwww.nbcsportswashington.com/predict, where they can submit predictions via their mobile or desktop device. The site will also provide access to game and contest rules and other features.

so,

can i use this to watch the game for free if I live outside DC?

[bakedtater1]

I got a 1.50 on the kickers practice net against obj Thursday...hehe

[SkinsGuy]

Well so far the site to enter the contest is blank.

[MarkB452]

Well, now I have motivation to actually watch the 4th quarter of a preseason game (..or any part).

 

I wonder if there will be any side predictions like this:

 

 

[skins island connection]

Soooooo,

 They gotta try to one-up me, ehh??

 

Guess i'll just have to counter by giving the winner of MY prediction my house, or my truck...lol.

I would give my dog, but I wouldn't wanna do that to anyone; if there's a female within the metro DC area, he'll find her, trust me.

 

But this does sound interesting, I guess i'll be a bystander to see how it goes; I am kinda slow on these things...
