    Ok looks like we've got a consensus with 7 votes for Option #2.

    Everyone gets at least 1 box, and I'll start working on targets based on geography once we get the last bit cleared up;

    To determine which 8 of 13 "winners" receive a second box, I will provide 8 questions surrounding this week's TNF game (Vikings @ Rams). All 13 participants must PM me their answers before kickoff on Thursday.
    • Correct answer (or closest answer) will get a 2nd box, and that person's answers will be removed from all subsequent questions.
      • i.e. - No one can win more than 1 extra box in this way.
    • I will pull answers in sequential order - Question #1 through #8.
    • NO "Price is Right" rules - meaning guesses of 3 and 5 will be considered a tie, if the answer is 4.
    • Ties will be broken by a tiebreaker question.
    I have sent my guesses to @dmbforever (BA Mod, and impartial party) and I will also post them here once everyone has sent me their answers via PM. No changing answers once submitted.

    Send me a PM with your guesses for the following;
    1. How many total rushing yards will there be during the game?
    2. How many total passing yards will there be during the game?
    3. How many receptions will Adam Thielen have in the game?
    4. How many passing attempts will Jared Goff have in the game?
    5. How many field goals will be made in the game?
    6. How many punts will there be in the game?
    7. How many total sacks will there be during the game?
    8. How many total points will be scored in the third quarter?
    TIEBREAKER - What will be the official attendance of the game?

    All data will be pulled from NFL.com

    The results are in! Here are everyone's guesses for TNF;

    1. How many total rushing yards will there be during the game?
    2. How many total passing yards will there be during the game?
    3. How many receptions will Adam Thielen have in the game?
      • 8 - Ruckit guessed correctly. TheoneTC also had the correct answer, but previously won a box
    4. How many passing attempts will Jared Goff have in the game?
      • 33 - @Franfab guessed correctly, and won the tiebreaker over Tom_V for attendance (74300 vs. 68500, respectively; Correct answer 72027)
    5. How many field goals will be made in the game?
      • 4 - @MastaaaGrillaaa won the tiebreaker here, over Tom_V, kennyo, and Wittyname (73777 attendance guess)
    6. How many punts will there be in the game?
      • 6 - @FalconCount won the tiebreaker over kennyo, Wittyname,and jpatag66 (71358 attendance)
    7. How many total sacks will there be during the game?
      • 5 - @Mateo2699 won the tiebreaker over Theredflame, kennyo, and jpatag (69950 attendance)
    8. How many total points will be scored in the third quarter?

    The winners listed above will receive 2 boxes, and the 5 who are not listed will receive 1.

    Targets will go out later today, and we'll set a shipping deadline of Monday, October 29th.

    Round 2 invites have been sent to those who have asked - if you want back in (or in for the first time), shoot me a PM. I believe we can have people join up until kickoff at 1pm Sunday.

    Round 2 is rolling, with all 17 participants surviving Week 4, and 8 of 17 already surviving Week 5 by taking the Pats on TNF.

    Based on these numbers, here's the anticipated payout;
    1st - 5 boxes
    2nd - 3
    3rd - 2
    4th - 1
    5th - 1

    Hope everyone is OK with the split, although I anticipate having multiple people eliminated simultaneously towards the end, and this will all go to shit again, haha.

    Texas goodies from BDCannon:

    Jester King Color Five
    Jester King Montmorency vs Balaton

    I haven drank much JK in my life and the few that I had were great so I am psyched to try these.

    A crowler of Pinthouse Pizza Cosmic Charlie. As an old Head, I dig the name and I am sure the beer is good too

    Spindletap Brewery Houston Haze and Tupps Brewery Full Grown Hombre.

    Other than JK, I have never heard of these breweries which is cool.

    Oh yeah, I also received a 1260 piece LEGO type kit of a NY Giant football helmet, so BDCannon, when I am done with the helmet and the 1260 pieces, I will need another box of beer to calm my nerves. Thanks.

    Can’t figure out how to post picture from my phone.

    Rams over 49ers are the obvious pick, and everyone remaining has them available. Chargers wouldn’t be a bad pick either, for someone who’s trying to break the trend. And Jacksonville might be playing with a chip on their shoulder vs an anemic Texans team.
