Are you ready for some football? Are you ready for a weekly prize package that includes booze and $150 in gift cards for picking the winners in the weekly NFL games?

Enter Pick Dat, the new weekly contest from The Independent. Registration is simple: Go to theind.com, click on the Pick Dat link at the top of the home page, register. It’s free to play. We just need a little information including daytime phone number so we can call each week’s winner to come pick up their goodies.

Each weekly Pick Dat winner goes home with a bottle of Rank Wildcat Rum, a six pack of Bayou Teche Brewing Company beer, a $100 gift card to Brother’s on the Blvd and a $50 gift card to Maxwell’s Market. You don’t select one or two among those awesome prizes — you get ’em all! And we won’t send you marketing emails unless you choose to receive them, and we’ll remind you every week to submit your picks.

Companies can also create their own intra-office pools through the contest. Click here to start your account and make those Week 1 picks.

Register to play by clicking the Pick Dat link at the top of our home page. Or just click here, lazy bones.
