Going into the night game, I’m surprised that there’s no MNF double header tomorrow. It looks like they moved that to next week. 
Regardless, barring any unforeseen circumstances, we have a week one winner.
Buccaneers, [Broncos, Seahawks] - @Funemployed; Runner up: @Grizz
Cowboys, [Broncos, Seahawks] - @Funemployed
In other news, misery loves company, so there will be no Wk 1 Lion’s Share Award.
one for three…or, two for three, if you prefer.
Here are the results for week 1:

Congratulations to @Funemployed. You managed to put up an impressive 11-4-1 record. For your prescience you have received the You’re Gonna’ Like the Pick You Made…I Guarantee It award: you may guarantee one matchup from Week 18 as a win.
The default will be to guarantee your Week 18 Jaguars over Titans pick. You may reject the default by posting your wishes in this thread, sending a pm to @1695814, or sending an email to actuary1695814 [at] gmail. If you choose to go your own way on this award, you must make your wishes known before kickoff of the coming Thursday game. Otherwise, the default will stand as your choice.
But wait – that’s not all! You, along with @Grizz, have also won the Change one future pick award: You may change one of your future picks. Use for any future week, but declare it before the kickoff of the game it affects. This award expires at the end of the season.

Late addition of the zTeams.
COFP – Week 2: Change Cowboys to Bengals
what he said
QUOTED & NOTED.
I would also like to COFP: Week 2 change Cowboys to Bengals
nOTED
Also, Noted.
Going into SNF, there’s a MNF DH, so assuming the Packers don’t blow a 17 point lead (that would never happen in the NFL, right?) here are this week’s winning & losing scenarios (VALSA = VA’s Lion’s Share Award):
Titans, Vikings - @ldancer911; Runner up: @3rookie; VALSA: @IPD
Titans, Eagles - @ldancer911; VALSA: @redearedslider
Bills, Vikings - @3rookie; VALSA: @IPD
Bills, Eagles - @OutdoormanNowActuary; Runners up: A695814, @twig93; VALSA: @IPD
I am at least happy that I didn’t COFP to the Bungels.

Question: Does “must” mean that if you don’t use it the following week it expires? Or does it obligate the “winner” to change a pick the following week? Like if I win the VALSA award but I like all of my picks the following week and don’t wish to change any, am I required or merely permitted to change one of them?
