Wink Football Picks
The 2008 NFL Football Season

Welcome to our 9th NFL season at Wink selecting football games. It's really pretty basic, there are no points, no fantasy picks, you just pick the winner of each game each week. A running total of wins & losses is tracked each week and at the seasons end, the person with the most wins, well, is the winner. The past winners have received cash prizes, steak dinners, Jet Ski, you name it, we take our picks seriously! This year were are going to keep it basic for the prize...cold, hard cash! And who doesn't like that?

As an added bonus as every year, we also select a Super Bowl winner, prior to the season starting. Here are this years players in the Wink Football Pool, feel free to cheer for your favorite player each week.

*Update: As something fun, my kids wanted to make their own weekly football picks. With no help from Mom or Dad, their picks are purely based on what team name or logo they like the best. No Super Bowl preview pick, just weekly picks.
