NFL 2008 Season: Office Pool Mastery!

NFL picks for football Barrington Henry:
The Office Pool Authority
Barrington is a bonafide winner in straight up football office pool type events. He has won multiple prizes, both weekly and season long, in the large Las Vegas "pick every game" contests.

“A man can be as great as he wants to be. If you believe in yourself and have the courage, the determination, the dedication, the competitive drive and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done."
-- Vince Lombardi

For the past three seasons Barrington has written a free column on this site every week focused strictly on straight up handicapping. The acclaim for his work has been exceptional with many, many readers writing in to tell of this success using his methods and insights.

This year he will be offering the similar "unadjusted odds of winning" chart (see below for sample) as well as, for the first time, his own adjusted straight up pool picks and weights by subscription only.
