main-imageThe NFL season is about a third of the way in. Are you surprised about who is topping the leader board? We all have our favourites and want them to rise to the challenge this year. Are you doing all you can to show your support? Do you have a game day routine?

My colleague Billy calls his routine “almost neurotic” (His words not mine). On the Friday before game-day he wears his team, Seattle’s, colours: he calls it blue Friday. He has his Seattle mug that can only be used on blue Friday, a different mug that can only be used on pre-game Saturday. He has his Seahawks pants, shirt, jacket that can only be worn, and MUST be worn on game-day. And Billy insists that the reason the Seahawks lost in week 2 is because he forgot to wear his Seahawks wrist-band!

And Billy is not too different from many of the thousands of NFL fans out there. Showing team pride matters!

Well now people can even dress their Microsoft Surface in one of six NFL team colours: Seattle, Denver, Pittsburgh, New England, Buffalo, and Green Bay. After all the Surface is already a big part of the NFL. Look on the sidelines during a game and you’re likely to see players and coaches using a surface to review plays, access game day strategy and more. You can do that and a whole lot more on a MS Surface. Here are some of the amazing features of the newest Surface Pro 4:

  • Convenient tablet/laptop versatilitysurface
  • High contrast PixelSense display that reduces glare and eyestrain
  • Multi-touch
  • Fast 6th Generation Intel processor
  • Enhanced security with Windows Hello so your surface knows it’s you
  • Long battery life (up to 9 hours) so you can do your work wherever you are (even on the football field!)

So if you have a Surface already, then this prize will be great for you to adorn it with an NFL cover. If you do not own one, win this contest, wear the new official NFL Jersey you win and head to your local Best Buy to spend the gift cards you win—you may even get a Surface Pro 4 to go with your new NFL Surface Cover.

  14. Well @bbymartin I know the accuracy of the pen and the high-resolution is something that makes this an artist’s dream!

  16. OMG I have to get one! or win one? I think the best is the best and you can’t say much more than that about the MS Surface and the best features are INTEL inside and the fact you can carry it anywhere! Thanks for a chance 🙂

  17. My favourite feature is the “Long battery life (up to 9 hours) so you can do your work wherever you are (even on the football field!)”

  25. The Pen is really versatile and highly useful in cases where you need to take notes on PDF’s and stuff like that.

    My favourite team is the 49ers, nothing and no one can beat them (last weeks tragedy was just a warm up for them)

  29. Wow sound like an amazing Microsoft tablet / laptop , hard time choosing had two faves about it #1 being the Fast 6th Generation Intel processor , have to say I love a fast tablet or laptop and the 2nd was High contrast PixelSense display that reduces glare and eyestrain , with getting older now and being on the laptop sometimes 8 hours a day the strain on my eyes is a killer would love this function , amazing 🙂

  31. I’m sadden to see that my favorite team is not one of the six offered! I’m a huge NY Giants fan and I will eagerly await for that team cover, but in the mean time I will cheer for my second favorite team and that is the Green Bay Packers!

  32. There seems to be so many great features from long lasting battery life to the 6th Gen Intel Processor. As much as I hate my battery dying on me so fast I cannot stand slow processing speed so I am excited for this fast 6th gen Intel Processor

  33. I would want the Pittsburgh Steelers cover, love the smash-mouth run and defense first aspect of their teams over the years.

  37. My favourite feature is the portability (tablet/laptop versatility). I often find myself unwilling to bring my laptop around because it’s too heavy, but the Surface seems perfect!

  41. My favourite feature is the 6th Generation Intel processor. I’m all about efficiency and getting things done. Hence, a fast processor is perfect for that!

  43. I love the laptop to tablet versatility – let’s me be able to go from desk to meeting in the blink of an eye!

    • My favourite SP4 features are definitely the laptop/tablet functionality, plus the apparently great surface pen for note taking. Not to mention the 9hr battery life that’s beneficial to any student.

  45. My favourite feature of the Surface is the long battery life – I hate needing to plug in my laptop (if you can even find an outlet to begin with) or needing to recharge my phone every 4 hours because that’s too much of a hassle!!

  47. My favourite feature is the tablet/laptop versatility. I love the fact that you can carry it around without breaking a sweat because it’s so light.

  48. My favourite feature is the long battery life – I hate needing to plug in laptops (if you can even find an outlet to start with) or needing to recharge my phone every 4 hours because that’s too much of a hassle!!!

  49. I’ve never been a huge NFL fan, but if I were to choose my favourite team it would be the Seattle Seahawks.

    • My favourite feature is the high contrast PixelSense display. I work on a plane frequently so the reduced glare really helps keep my eyes healthy
