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.
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):
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?
Yes, it expires. No, you are never obligated to use an award…except non-negative awards where, if you don’t make the choice, a choice will be made for you…kind of like dying without a will in place, amirite, Prince?
