- Woody
- Atwork
- Jimmy V

Key Dates for Season VIII:
August 21 – Twelve of fourteen Analysts met at the First Annual WFTL Claims Party to select Home Teams! (Claim Results forthcoming.)
September 9 – First game of Season VIII.
September 23 – Purse due to the league bookie.
Improved Season VIII Rules
1) To start the new Season, Analysts must relinquish Claims to Home Teams from the prior season. New Claims will be made in reverse order of the Standings for the prior season’s Analyst of the Year.
2) With the expanded regular season to 17 games, Analysts voted to add a fifth leg to the Player Haters Preakness.
3) For the Super Trifecta Bowl, in the final leg, Analysts will earn +3/+3 bonuses for the best offense/defense score predictions with a Correct Pick in the TGWSNBN.
4) The Analysts determined that NO new rules for the COVID-19 crisis will be adopted. If games are canceled after Picks are in or if a Home Team is sent to pasture due to an outbreak, the Analysts will have no recourse other than what is provided in the Standard Rules.
