Here's how to play!

Each week, you'll get to show off your smarts by picking the winner in local high school, NCAA and NFL games. If you're a diehard fan or just an armchair quarterback, I LASSOED LANCE gives you the chance to prove your football aptitude! Simply predict the winner of 12 predetermined games and their point spread each week. Pick more winning teams in a week than LANCE and you may be one of 4 players to win the weekly prizes*. In the case of a tie, the player who submitted the winning weekly ballot first will be the winner.

The player with the highest number of points and most winning game picks will win the Grand Prize of an iPad3 and the second place finisher will receive a voucher for 6-months free internet, both courtesy of our sponsor, Suddenlink. The more you win, and the more you play, the more points you'll get toward the grand prize.
