Hot Sauce Guy

Greetings and salutations, FBG Kicker haters!
It is time. The last K contest of the year, and with @Joe Bryant's permission, it has it's very own topic so as to avoid distraction from your very important breaking K news.
I like to give back to this community, & I also hate K's. They are random and stupid and they get hurt celebrating, and they miss kicks ruining my U/O bets and ruin point spreads. This contest gives us a reason to love Kickers again. I've been officially eliminated in the league I went 5-0, the 0-6 in, thanks to COVID & injuries peripheral to my players.
So at least this gives me something to enjoy in week 14 (I've locked up the 1-seed playoffs in my dynasty league).
Here's how it works:
Entry A guesses their K will have 16 points, with a long of 47.
Entry B guesses their K will have 17 points with a long of 45.
Entry A's K has 17 points (1) with a long of 46 (1) for a total differential of 2. Entry B's K has 17 points (0), with a long of 48 (3) for a total differential of 3. Entry A wins by having the smallest differential between both total points and distance.
Is this some kinda marketing schtick? Man, that's harsh - why would you ask such a thing?
No. My hot sauce was on a show with 8M subscribers and Trevor Noah said it danced on his tongue like Fred Astaire. If I wanted to spend $ on marketing, I'd probably be doing a contest somewhere with more folks than the dozen or so who randomly sees this on the K topic of FBG. Heck, I'd be hitting up Joe for ad-space in the newsletter & doing a "FBG10" discount for board members to use. Uh, which I did and do. 
USA Shipping Only: You can enter if you're in Canada or Germany or Tanzania, you just have to ship to a friend in the US if you win. It is what it is.
Note: DO NOT EDIT your post. Because time-stamp matters, you cannot have an edited post. Edited entries are DQ'd. If you change your mind (late week K injury, game cancellation, etc) simply hide your original post & post a new one.
Don't forget to put the long-distance guess as well. You must guess BOTH the points total, and longest FG from your K.
Note 2: Cut-off time is 10 mins before Kickoff for whichever K you select. You can use K from the TNF game, but you must post your entry by no later than 5 mins before kick-off on Thursday.
That's it! Make a guess, win some hot sauce. Doesn't get much easier than that and it's certainly worth the price of admission ($0), so get those guesses in for week 14!
And remember: ALL conditions must be met. Your guesses must be closest to the kicker’s actual points, AND long-distance FG. The closest point difference in the contest will win. The highest scoring kicker, or even the highest scoring kicker guessed is not the automatic winner.
A kicker with 20 points and a long of 56 could be a losing pony if you guess 17 (3) and 48 (8) for a variance of 11.
This contest is about your guessing performance accuracy, not which kicker has the most points of the week.
That's it! All guesses must be in no later than 10 mins before kickoff of whatever game your K is playing. You can wait all the way to 10 mins before the last game of the week but you're limiting yourself to 2 options.
Also it's not "The Price is Right" - it's ok to go over. It's closest to the mark for both guesses. It's harder than it sounds, but we've had variance as low as .1 in this contest, because y'all are some K guessing bad mama-jammas up in here.
So get those guesses in & good luck!
ETA: this is a K contest that is won by guessing total points and distance of longest made FG. Implicit there is that your entry must kick a FG. Thus entries of 0/0 will result in DQ. This is not ambiguous. Y’all want to win a contest for guessing a FG without actually making a FG, and total points without actually scoring points, and that’s just not how it works. Might as well try to win without picking a K. This is in accordance with the original rules.

So at least this gives me something to enjoy in week 14 (I've locked up the 1-seed playoffs in my dynasty league). Here's how it works:
- Pick a kicker. He's your pony for the week.
- Guess that kicker's total points, and longest FG kicked using decimal scoring. Example: 30 yards or less = 3 points, with .1 for every yard thereafter. 45 yard FG = 4.5 points, 37 = 3.7 points, etc.
- For this 1st contest MPAT = -1 point. Often these contests are decided by less than a point, so choose that K carefully, because 1 MPAT could kill ya!
- The predicted K entry to the contest who is closest to BOTH total points, and long distance will be the winner.
Entry A guesses their K will have 16 points, with a long of 47.
Entry B guesses their K will have 17 points with a long of 45.
Entry A's K has 17 points (1) with a long of 46 (1) for a total differential of 2. Entry B's K has 17 points (0), with a long of 48 (3) for a total differential of 3. Entry A wins by having the smallest differential between both total points and distance.
- Normally if there is a tie, the entry with the earliest timestamp wins. But since this is the last K contest of the year, in the event of a tie, all teams tied will receive a prize. 'tis the season for giving.
