NBC Sports has begun exploring football betting with a live predictive gaming telecast. During the NFL preseason opener between Washington and Cleveland, fans within NBC Sports Washington’s broadcast area could place game predictions, and collect cash prizes. So while the Browns won 30-10, some Washington fans may still have left as winners.
The preseason alternate broadcasts are available through NBC Sports Washington Plus, the same overflow channel that produced a betting-themed broadcast for eight Wizards games this past NBA season. Fans can answer questions through NBCSW’s “Predict The Game,” available both via a mobile app and online.
