2022 GoActuary Kirk Cousins Stinks NFL Full Season Pick’em Contest

Noted

Three STPs this week…

Good luck, fellas.

Has anyone ever used a COFP award to undo a STP™?

Just curious. I know you’ve posted about an “unofficial” STP™ where one or more COFPs resulted in us all picking the same team, even though we hadn’t at the beginning of the season.

And the reverse seems less likely… just curious if it’s ever happened.

I have a vague recollection of “yes” but my brain holds details live a sieve holds…well, I can’t remember how that saying goes :man_shrugging:

I’ll have the intern do an hrecall on the tape-backups and see if we still have the data.

It happened as recently as Week 18 of last year.
IPD, A_Student, & ldancer911 all used one to change the Browns to the Bengals. Seventeen out of twenty players ended up picking the winning team in that match-up.
That’s the extent of our research…so far. :popcorn:

Hmmm, I think the Bengals had already clinched a post-season berth and couldn’t materially improve or worsen their position, so the game was pretty meaningless to them.

But I guess if you’re sitting on a COFP in Week 18 and it’s burning a hole in your pocket…

or you want to seperate from the leader in that final week, even if not the logical pick

COPD for week 7:

Jaguars >> Giants
Steelers >> Dolphins

I’m also questioning if you know how to spell how that saying starts . . .

Strange that going into this week, the game I feel worst about is Broncos over Jets.

Ooh…so far @Vorian_Atreides is six for six this week.

These teams need to win in order for him to cement his FSP legacy:
Raiders
Broncos
Chiefs
Chargers
Dolphins
Bears

I think I was 15 for 15 once … and did not cement the legacy. (Called TNF and all Sunday games correctly and lost the MNF call.) And I didn’t even win the week as Gandalf made the exact same picks as me and had the tie-breaker on me.

Oh well. :man_shrugging: It was fun while it lasted.

Going into the night game, VA has smoked the competition like a beef brisket:
Steelers, Bears - @Vorian_Atreides; VALSA: @n/a
Steelers, Patriots - @Vorian_Atreides; Runner up: @IPD; VALSA: @redearedslider
Dolphins, Bears - @Vorian_Atreides; VALSA: @redearedslider
Dolphins, Patriots - @Vorian_Atreides; VALSA: @redearedslider

The award this week is Jables’ Home Field Advantage.
The default will be to apply it to your Week 18 Away picks. You may also want to consider your Week 12 Away picks or your Week 14 Home picks. In the end, it’s up to you, unless you choose to not make a decision. Then, it will default like the school loans of an art history major.

:party:

I’ll have to review my pickin’s to see which Week I want to apply HFA.

I assume that I must declare the Week before the first game of that week, right?

Since it’s a nonnegative award, you must declare before TNF on 10/27.
