Posted By admin On 23/07/22

The Golden Nugget has once again changed its football contest by scrapping the playoff format of the “Friday Football Showdown” and going a more traditional route with their new “Ultimate Football Challenge.”

About the Golden Nugget's Ultimate Football Challenge Tony Miller, a former UNLV football player, and current Golden Nugget Sportsbook Director, started the Friday Football Showdown in 2018. After a name change, reduction in entry fees and format modification, Miller’s contest is set to return in 2020 for its third year. LAS VEGAS – The Golden Nugget’s $190,000 Friday Football Showdown heads into its second playoff round of head-to-head matches this weekend and we have the picks from the contestants as they try to advance to the next round as the top four seeds await them.

LAS VEGAS – The finals of the $190,000 Friday Football Showdown at the Golden Nugget has been set with Mucked Nuts taking on DMill. One of this past weekend’s semifinals was decided in record time while the other semi had to wait until Monday Night Football. The Golden Nugget has made some significant changes to its Friday Football Showdown that are beneficial to the contestants. First, Stage 1 of the contest has been expanded from 8 weeks to 10 weeks. This is welcome news for those who had their contests end after week 8.

The contest will now run for 17 weeks coinciding with the NFL Season. Entrants will choose 7 picks ATS per week and can choose from nearly every college and pro game on the board at the Nugget. It is sides only as they have down away with the choice for totals.

Another significant change is the entry fee which is now only $1,000. Players are allowed 2 entry maximum. There is 100% return of entry fees and the top 20 will receive payouts.

With the new format and the lower entry fee, I estimate that there will be about 200 entrants. Sign ups began on May 29th and will close on September 4th. We will be providing proxy services for the Golden Nugget again this year.
