Hot Sauce Guy
Footballguy
This week I was reminded of how much I detest kickers. I lost an important match by 4.5 points & Koo missed a 54 yard kick, further cementing my distain.
Seems many of us do - so let's turn that frown upside-down & make kickers great again!
I present to you, the officially unofficial FBG kicker contest!
Please Note: This is for week 9, so y'all have plenty of time to enter. Just don't pick a week 8 kicker, because you won't win anything no matter how good your guess is.
Here are the rules:
1. USA shipping only. You can be from another country & win, but you have to ship to someone in the US of A.
2. Tiebreakers will be decided by time-stamp. So get your guesses in early!
3. Because of #2, no editing of posts. It’s ok to change your pick - just delete your post & repost with your new pick.
4. Contest closes to all 5 mins before kickoff of the early games on Sunday's slate of games (9:55 AM PT). TNF is acceptable, as that is still before the Sunday AM deadline.
5. This is a 1-week contest for week 9 only.
Here’s how it works - pick a kicker. He’s your pony.
• Guess how many total points your kicker will score to 1 decimal place (51 yards = 5.1 points) including PATs (at 1 point per PAT)
• Guess the long for your kicker.
• There are no cheat codes. A K on an active roster who’s hurt and expected to score 0 is not a valid entry. All entries must be greater than 0 points.
Also your guy must have at least 1 successful non-PAT FG to qualify. If your K does not attempt a FG, you cannot win.
• closest guesses to both of these metrics wins.
Example:
Team A picks Bass, with 18 total points, and a long of 56 yards.
Team B picks Aubrey, with 14 total points and a long of 47 yards.
Bass has 16 points (2) and the long is 55 yards (1) for a total difference of 3 from Team A’s guesses.
Aubrey has 14 points (0) with a long of 53 (6) for a total difference of 6 points from team B’s guesses.
Team A wins in this hypothetical example.
If you have any questions, please post them here. It’s been a while since I’ve done this so it’s certainly possible I’ve forgotten something important.

But why should you enter? Is there a prize? I'm glad you asked!
Get those week 9 guesses in!

- 1st Place will receive a 4-pack of award-winning hot sauce!
- 2nd place wins a 2-pack of award winning hot sauce!
- 3rd place and beyond will receive nothing but scorn and ridicule from everyone at FBG, and shall hang their heads in shame for all time. Wearing a scarlet letter "L" for "loser" is an individual choice, and optional, but encouraged.
Get those week 9 guesses in!
