There are a lot of amateur pigskin prognosticators out there and when the football season arrives, area casinos afford numerous opportunities to cash in on your football knowledge with various “pick-the-winners” promotions.

• Caesars, Harrah’s Resort, Bally’s and Showboat are offering guests a chance to win big during the Total Touchdown Pick ‘em contest. Participants can test their football knowledge by selecting each week’s winning teams for a chance to win $600,000 in weekly cash prizes, food and beverage vouchers, a trip to this year’s Super Bowl or the grand prize of $1,000,000. For more information, visit www.caesars.com.

• The $1 Million Pick the Pros challenge at Borgata asks guests to choose each week’s winning teams. The player with the most accurate selections wins $30,000. Participants who don’t win the grand prize are entered into a random drawing for $25,000 in bonus slot dollars. For more information, visit www.theborgata.com.

• Tropicana Casino & Resort is celebrating pigskin season with the Monday Night Football Crack the Straight promotion. Every Monday during the regular season, cash game players with a straight beaten by a flush or better are eligible to win up to $1,000 in cash prizes. For more information, visit www.tropicana.net.

• Football fever is in full effect with the Pigskin Playoff at Trump Taj Mahal where poker players are invited to pick the week’s winning teams for a chance to earn $500, with a grand prize of $1,000,000 awarded to the player who correctly predicts 204 out of 245 games. Additionally, poker players can try their luck each Monday evening with scratch-off game pieces featuring scores for each quarter, offering players a chance to win $100 to $25,000.
