How to Enter:
Patrons may enter the contest online at 1029thehog.com or by completely filling out the entry form on the contest page to create a contest user profile. Then, fill in the weekly entry form by selecting the outcome of each NFL game. All games will use a rolling lock system which will allow players to make picks up to approximately 15 minutes prior to the official kick-off time of each game. Any selections submitted after the deadlines are considered invalid, and no points will be awarded. All times displayed on the schedule are Eastern. You may change your pick for any game up until the time that game is locked. Entries must be completed on time. Once a game is locked, you may not change your pick for it. If you did not make a pick for a particular game, it is counted as a loss. If you submit a partial entry and either forget or are unable to complete it, the games you did not pick will count as losses. After each week, the local entrant who made the most correct match up picks will win the local weekly prize. In the event of a tie, the weekly winner will be chosen by the weekly tiebreakers laid out below. At the completion of the 2026-2027 NFL Regular Season, the local entrant who scored the most overall points will win the local grand prize, if applicable. In the event of a tie, the following tiebreakers will be used:
Overall Season tiebreakers for the Grand Prize:
- Overall Season tiebreaker #1 – The total overall tiebreaker score as shown on the Overall Leaderboard
- Overall Season tiebreaker #2 – Higher number of wins for Week 18
- Overall Season tiebreaker #3 – Higher number of wins for Week 17
- Overall Season tiebreaker #4 – Higher number of wins for Week 16
- Overall Season tiebreaker #5 – A random draw between all remaining players.
Weekly Tiebreakers for prizes being given away each week that are NOT the national or local grand prize:
- Weekly tiebreaker #1 – The player that correctly predicted the winning pick of the Tiebreaker Game is considered the winner of that week.
- Weekly tiebreaker #2 – A Player’s predicted Tiebreaker Game score is compared to the actual Tiebreaker Game. The differences between the predicted scores and actual scores for each team are added. The entry with the smallest total difference is considered the winning entry.
- Weekly tiebreaker #3 – A random draw between all remaining Entrants to determine the winner. In all cases, an entry that does not win a tiebreaker is eliminated from consideration.
Multiple entries by an individual will disqualify all entries by that individual. All local prize winners will be contacted the business day after the NFL week concludes. The local Grand Prize winner, if applicable, will be contacted on or about Monday, January 11th, 2026.

The following are specifically related to E-contests and E-Mail Club promotions on 1029thehog.com:
All appropriate information in required fields must be entered correctly and completely or you will be disqualified.
To win a prize you must reside within the listening area of 102.9 THE HOG/WHQG as defined at the exclusive discretion of 102.9 THE HOG/WHQG management.

Contestants who register to participate on our website may be required to produce a printed copy of proof of registration before being allowed to participate in the contest.
Due to the nature of our programs that are heard on-line over the internet, contests may not be heard at all on 102.9 THE HOG/WHQG. Contests heard on the radio station’s internet audio stream may be slightly delayed from the time the contests are heard on the broadcast station, and will be running behind the broadcast signal. Thus, all contests heard on the internet are delayed. This delay can last for as much as 30 seconds or more. This means that when 102.9 THE HOG/WHQG contests are played that require a specific caller to telephone the radio station (such as “Caller number 9 when you hear the sound effect”), listeners to the on-line audio stream may be at a disadvantage in participating over those listeners who hear the contests on-air.
