His longest make in college was 51 yards. I try to avoid predicting attempts from 50+ yards in a 1 game scenario such as this, but at least I know his position coach is acknowledging /assuming 5 yards more range going into this one game I need him.
Bailey was my runner-up choice to Seibert this week given what was on the wire and ultimately I'll probably regret my decision. My lineup is too Vikings heavy already and that was the tiebreaker that tipped the scales. I would pickup Bailey in a heartbeat if I needed a kicker for the rest of the year.
Bailey seem to be back where he was a few years ago. The weather in KC is good. Good choice. Folk might be a little better this week, although FGs are hard to predict.
Whoo hoo! Thanks @Hot Sauce Guy as always! Really fun stuff.In honor of the Money Badger’s return, it’s time for another unofficially official K contest!
I promise that i will do my absolute best to not get myself suspended before announcing the results...uh, again.

So here’s how it works:
1. USA only - you.can still enter & win if you’re from somewhere else, but I’m only gonna ship to a USA address. So if you’ve got a friend in the US, maybe enter & share the love.
2. pick a kicker that you believe is going to score a lot in week #10!
3. Considering total points in performance scoring (1-29 yards = 3, .1/1 after 30 yards) guess the following:
• name of the highest scoring kicker of week 10
• state what that kicker’s total points will be for week 10
-and-
• the longest kick for that kicker for week 10.
example;
“Mr. Kicker Kicksworthy, 17 points, long of 55”,
note: it’s ok to go over. This isn’t the price is right. It’s whomever is closest to both numbers that wins, equally weighted. (e.g. you guessed 17/55, it was actually 15/53, and someone else guessed 14/48. the 17/55 guess wins as its 2 away in points & 2 away in distance whereas 14/48 was 1 away in points but 7 away in distance)
4. Do not edit your post, ever, for any reason. Ever. Nope. Don’t. Seriously. Because...
5. Time-stamp decides tiebreakers (e.g. if you guess the same K as someone else & the same points, the post with the earliest time-stamp wins. There are no ties. Even if it’s 2 different kickers and they somehow score the same & have the same long, earliest guess wins.
6. Do not edit your post. If you wish to change your guess, clear out your post, and re-post with a new guess. Don’t edit & update a guess or you’ll be DQ’d
7. That’s it!
Make your best guess of any K who plays from Thurs - Mon Night.
Winner will be announced the Tuesday following week 10!
good luck!

I never win anything, ever.
Seems a little random week to week. Or maybe they’re just that good in the RZ? Or maybe their opponents haven’t been that good in the RZ?SaintsInDome2006 said:
I haven't picked him, but I do think it says something about them across 3-4 different kickers. And the Bolts are likely to go on one of their late season tears, along with a new OC soon. Just a factoid to sock away. They're not doing well on XPAs so there's that too.
To be clear that was field goal attempts, not field goals allowed.
I picked up Gay for Money Badger’s BYE week - at this point of the season I had a bench spot to play with & he’s been such a high scoring kicker that i’d rather have him on my bench than in someone else’s lineup facing me.

As someone who is constantly streaming Ks I'm looking at Vinatieri this week. Could swear I've seen a gazillion highlights of him missing kicks though.
Does Indy carry two kickers? Just wondering if Vinitieri could get benched mid game.
I'm sticking with Joey. I think he has some good match-ups ahead and Allen seems to be good enough to get them to the red zone. Still scratching my head as to why Panthers went for 2 down 24-16 early in the 4th quarter against the Pack. Absent an injury (and I have not heard of any) that is about as dumb of a move as you can make.
Not a whole lot of people talking about how this affected the game. Down 16-12 was a lot different than 16-13. Just a terrible year for Vinatieri.
