We’re through nine weeks of Beat the Geek, and the Geek couldn’t build on recent momentum. But there was more tiebreaker madness at the top of the leaderboard, where four players finished 11-2!
Let’s get into the full results for Week 9, so you can see who won, how the field performed, and more.
Beat the Geek Week 9 Results and Winner
We had four players tie for first place in Week 9: “floydtalbe”, “titan-fan”, “ogi88c”, and “aga12473”. These four finished with records of 11-2 for the Week 9 slate, great job!
Still, a tiebreaker was needed to decide the winner, and the question was the total combined rushing yards for Sunday Night Football’s matchup between Chicago and Tampa Bay. The correct answer was 198, and “floydtalbe” was the closest with 217. “ogi88c” was next with 239.
A total of 224 players finished ahead of the Geek in Week 9, which means they’ll receive an entry to the Grand Prize draw for an NFL trip for two in 2027! Good luck if you’re part of that group.
How Did the Geek Do in Week 9?
The Geek took a step back, going from 8-5 in Week 8, to 5-8 in Week 9. However, there is still plenty of time for The Geek to move up the leaderboard and all it takes is one big week. The Geek’s overall record is now 63-59-1 for the season, while “garlg” has a small lead over “wags2riches”, “desert-sunset”, and “codejudeg” at the top of the leaderboard.
Don’t forget that Beat the Geek is not a sprint, but a marathon. In fact, it’s more like the Tour de France: even a single weekly win is enough for a prize of $500, as well as an entry for the Grand Prize if you score higher than The Geek that week.
What BTG Prizes Are Still Available?
There is still plenty to play for in Beat The Geek for the 2026-27 season:
- 9x Weekly $500 Gift Cards
- 3x $500 Gift Cards for Referrals
- Overall Winner Prize of $2,500
- Grand Prize: An NFL Trip for Two (2) for the 2027 Regular Season
Our weekly $500 prizes are still up for grabs for finishing at the top of the leaderboard for each week of the NFL schedule. All you have to do is beat the competition to the summit in a given week.
But that’s not all, as there is still the Referral Draw, where contestants who refer a player to BTG will receive an entry after their referral has completed at least one week’s worth of picks. This is arguably the easiest way to win a prize.
Get your friends in on the action, and you could be one of three randomly selected entries for a $500 gift card from our gift partner, Giftogram. You don’t even have to win on your picks, just get a friend (or a few) to make some BTG picks and you could end up with a $500 gift card!
There is also the Overall Winner prize, where the player with the most successful picks for the entire NFL season will receive a $2,500 prize. That means you should be making those picks every week, and if you continue to make winning picks, you could win a cool $2,500!
Of course, there is the Grand Prize of an NFL Vacation Package for two for the 2027 regular season! Any player who scores better than The Geek in any week receives one entry into the Grand Prize draw.
This prize includes flights and two nights’ stay in a hotel. If you’re the randomly selected winner, you could be on your way to see your favorite team next season!
Are You Ready for Week 10?
Week 10 of Beat the Geek is now live! Make your picks before kickoff on Sunday (2:00 PM ET) and move up the leaderboard.
And don’t worry if you missed out on the first nine weeks; you’re still eligible to win the $500 weekly prize, and earn an entry for the grand prize draw if you beat the Geek this week!
