Gridiron Challenge

Calling all Football Fans! Join this FREE competition and win prizes!

Prepare for the ultimate test of gridiron knowledge with the 22-week Gridiron Challenge running from September 1, 2026 through Super Bowl LXI on February 14, 2027. 

How it Works:

Each week, participants will predict the winners of the upcoming NFL and College Football games. Points will be awarded for correct picks, and a cumulative score will determine the leaders throughout the season. The Gridiron Challenge is structured around three distinct contests:

  1. Cumulative NFL: Track your NFL prediction accuracy throughout the regular season.
  2. NFL Playoffs: Navigate the high-stakes NFL playoff bracket.
  3. Super Bowl LXI: The final showdown—correctly predict the Super Bowl winner!

Weekly Competition & Prizes:

  • Each week, the participant with the most correct picks will be crowned the Weekly Winner. First-place winners will receive a $125 MWR Gift Card. Second-place winners will receive a $75 MWR Gift Card. See the list of places you can use MWR Gift Cards here.
  • Weekly results will be published and celebrated! Results will be posted below and on all MWR TV screens each week.

Program Details:

  • Start Date: September 1, 2026
  • End Date: Super Bowl Party
  • Weekly Submission Deadline: Every Wednesday by 11 p.m. (starting Tuesday, Oct. 21)
  • Location: Gridiron Get Together, hosted at the WEC Lounge every Tuesday from 5–8 p.m. Wear your favorite football jersey and come hang out!
