The online handicapping contests of the year have arrived!
EOG and <a href="http://www.docsports.com/picks/49223/index.html">Doc's Sports</a> have partnered to bring you a unique NFL and CFB capping contest. The winners will have a potential opportunity to handicap professionally at Doc’s Sports website where they would be paid for their picks and earn the same commissions as the current handicappers at Doc's earn. This option is available provided that they are fully committed of course!”

THE CONTESTS:
Two simultaneous handicapping contests will be offered at EOG. One contest will last the entire college football season and the other the entire NFL season. The winners of both contests will be offered contracts at Doc's to post and be paid for their plays for an entire season of NFL, CFB or sport of their choice. (There will be more details to follow)…
