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

It’s a strange game. Sometimes, the best move is not to play. That’s why COFPs are askatory instead of mandatory.

askatory is a word coined by my older daughter way back when she was about 12 or so.

Congratulations to @OutdoormanNowActuary . You won the 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 Falcons over Buccaneers 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 A695814 & @twig93, have 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.

Additionally, @IPD, being in sole possession of last place this week, has won the VALSA (VA’s Lion’s Share Award) which gives him a limited-time-COFP which, if used, must be declared for a Week 3 game.:

This week…
:frowning_face:
@PatientZombie, @Grizz, & @Ezekial_Cumberland all used a COFP award to change their Cowboys pick to the Bengals. They probably Rushed into that decision. It may have seemed like a good idea at the time, but now they probably just want to Burrow themselves into a hole. :-1:

Emojis aren’t working, which is weird, and I think the percentages are off. Maybe need to paste values???

Thanks for the write-up, and running the game. It’s a big job, I know. (Way bigger than the suicide game.)

Emojis act weird when you put them in quotes & ">"s and stuff like that.
Not paste values…just a spreadsheet error.

Just double-checking - are the emojis correct on the SURE THING picks? (I can’t recall from who’s point-of-view they are supposed to be.)

Actually the emojis look fine to me now.

I mean… they’re backwards, but they’re emojis rather than text (which is what I was seeing originally).

I didn’t even notice that they were backwards until just now!

They’re fine now. :tfh:

Looking through Week 3 games now to see if worthy of COFP and this week is going to be tough. Lot of close lines.
