Week 6 Casino Gulag


Casino Gulag continues to pump liquidity into the market.  Well, I made something of a promise that if Prater landed Detroit's recently vacated kicker gig, we'll play a kicker gulag.  It's tough being a kicker.  Unlike other positions, if you don't perform, you don't get benched.  You get fired.  Or in Matt Prater's case, you drink (and get caught driving), you lose your job.  This was one that wasn't actually in the arsenal for me, although my pulple-hazed memory recollects picking Greg Zuerlein for some game a couple years back. 

Anyways, I wanted to take some pressure off these fellows, so we'll play a relaxed game.  I'll call it Tea Party Kicking Game.  It's a conservative's game.  Pick the kicker that kicks THE SHORTEST FIELD GOAL.  Under current NFL rules, the shortest possible field goal is 17 yards, 10 yards of endzone plus seven yards that the holder sets behind the line of scrimmage.  So whoever picks the kicker with a field goal closest to 17 yards will win.  A lot of factors go in to play here.  Which teams can't score TDs in the redzone?  Which coaches make conservative decisions to kick rather than going for it on Fourth-and-Goal? 

Each bet will cost 3 bankerbitez, and there will be matching funds on the house.  So the prize pool will be doubled again.  For the sake of it, or just because I mentioned them, if Prater or Greg the Leg, both known for big legs, kicks the shortest FG, regardless of anyone picking them to win or not, all participants will get a 1 bb refund. 

Limit one bet per franchise.
