Every Wednesday of the professional football regular season, football fans and sports gurus are heading to local Buffalo Wild Wings locations to play the Buzztime-developed Pick 'Em Challenge.  The Pick 'Em Challenge asks patrons to pick the winners of each weekly professional football contest.  Participants compete against guest experts from ESPN, including Mike Golic and Mike Greenberg, hosts of Mike & Mike in the Morning, professional football legends Deion Sanders and Jerry Rice and ESPN personality Trey Wingo.

In addition, each guest with the highest weekly score across all Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants will win a grand prize trip to play in a flag football game at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California on Saturday, February 12, 2011.  The winners will form two competitive teams, coached by the celebrities.
