    It hits enough that we have plenty of winners. I split it into 4 shipping groups so we spread out winners. We made made it though 2 full rounds ( and some weeks had multiple hits where winners split the 8 boxes) so that is at least 8 hits, plus we did a winner take all 3rd round that hit too. So plenty of hits!

    That's what I figured. High enough to be a bit difficult but low enough and common enough that there should be multiple winners throughout the season. I'm looking forward to this as it seemed to be the most interesting BIF when I first started looking through them after I joined.

    Now that we are full , I’ll draw teams tomorrow. To busy drinking bourbon tonight.

    Will also add another LIF
    My first LIF is the first starting QB to go on IR gets a box.
    Second is first RB to get 200 yards rushing (straight rushing , receiving yards don’t count) whatever team they are on gets a box.

    Cheers ! Can’t wait for football to start.

    I was thinking about that IR one yesterday.

    Since that’s already in play, I’ll throw out a different one.

    If a team scores 33 and loses, the team that beats them will get a box from me.

    Until 2-3 years ago when the NFL moved the extra point attempt back 33 would only hit 2-3 times a year. Once the PAT was moved and teams would miss or go for two more often 33 started to hot with more regularity.

    Thought we tried changing it to 25 one year when 33 wasn't hitting at all. Then the next week 33 hit?

    Here we go. Teams are assigned and shipping groups made.

    First, shipping groups. This is used to determine who is on the clock for shipping. Group one is on the clock starting Week 1. They ship if anyone hits 33. They stay on the clock until someone hits.

    Group 2 goes on the clock if someone hits, or week 4, which ever comes first. If no one hit by week 4, both group 1 and 2 are on the clock until someone hits.

    And so on...

    Groups are:
    Group 1:
    @johnyb @swenny916 @macrosmatic @bstoos @zekeman17 @jschott75 @jdell15 @imyourhero21

    Group 2:
    @Blacksheep2plt @kbergen28 @Franfab @kraticus41 @landrewg @oline73 @Mcooly @Steban

    Group 3:
    @SammyJaxxxx @jhavs @crow121 @cosmo4u @sblickem @Theredflame2 @hardysf @bl00

    Group 4:
    @Bum4ever @HeartofMiami @tommyguz @LloydDobler @jpatag66 @Avelasquez80 @Stoutofmymind @browniewithnuts


    Teams will follow in a little bit.

    I'm glad I got the Patriots because they're usually good and all, but I can't stand the fact that I actually have to root for them. The Dolphins and Cowboys are the only two teams I would want to root for less.

    Usually good? That might be a bit of an understatement. Best team ever, greatest QB of all time, greatest coach of all time...should I continue.

    They also have to play the Bills, Jets, and Dolphins each 2x per year, so they're guaranteed at least 4-5 wins per season to start. But, I will give you greatest QB of all time and likely greatest coach. You Patriot fans are always so sensitive.

    Dallas hit once last year, but they didn't seem to score much overall. I hope they lose 35-33!

    Win percentage vs. the teams you mentioned is actually on the lower end of their results vs. teams and divisions.
    For some reason the Bills, Fins, Jets always play them tough.

    Fins and Jets, maybe. But definitely not the Bills. They won 3 three times since 2010: once when Ryan Fitzpatrick was QB, once last game of the season and Brady/Gronk/etc. sat at least the 2nd half if not more, and once when Brady was suspended. There's a reason they went 17 years without making the playoffs.

    I hope everyone saying the Vikes will be good this year is right. However, I really hate cousins and now I need him to do good, blah.

    Hmmm... Ravens not likely to score 33

    Unless, Flacco goes on IR after week one and they put in Lamar Jackson :astonished:

    I've been fortunate so far to not have to root for a rival team. Fingers crossed that continues.
