The NFL is back, baby. And so is our weekly FanDuel Research free roll.

To celebrate the launch of FanDuel Research and thank the numberFire community for their years of loyalty, we’ll be running free rolls every week here on FanDuel Research through the end of NFL season.

In the opening contest, poolqueen68 took down the top prize for the single-game slate between the United States and the Netherlands in the Women's World Cup.

This week's free roll is for the opening preseason NFL game of the year: the Hall of Fame Game between the New York Jets and Cleveland Browns.

The slate lock for that game is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. Eastern on Thursday night. Here's the link for this week's FanDuel Research free roll: Hall of Fame Game FanDuel Research Free Play.

Good luck to all who enter, and don't forget to swing back to FanDuel Research again each week to get your shot at that week's contest.
