Congrats to Lucky Dog Knife Co Lucky Dog Knife Co for winning GAW #1.
Congrats to Sleepereaper for winning GAW #2.
Congrats to Uncle Timbo Uncle Timbo for winning GAW #3

Here are the participation rules:
1. I am requesting that you do not enter if you plan to resell the knife(s) - please use the honor system. If you don't want what you receive ... gift it to someone else you think would. Thank you
2. To benefit membership in BF ... be a paying member located in the lower 48 US states. Exceptions will be made for non-paying members, located in the lower 48 US states, with at least 3 months longevity and 100 posts.
3. THAT'S IT!!!

How GAW #4 will work:
1. The first member that guesses the total of both team's combined penalty yards, or the first member to guess the closest total combined penalty yards without going over, in Thursday Night Football game (Sep 26th) between the Cowboys and the Giants wins. If everyone's guess is over the total combined penalty yards ... I'll let my buddy Hunter pick the winner. I'll put dog cookies on the ground assigned to each member that enters and whose ever treat he eats first wins.

2. Only one guessed entry, per member, per draw.
3. No entries will be accepted after kickoff or 8:15pm EST - whichever comes latest.
4. Previous RAK GAW winners are not eligible for this GAW for my remaining GAWs to ensure the kindness is spread about.
5. For the prizes (shown above), I will randomly assign each pictured prize a playing card of either 10, Jack, Queen or King - then I will shuffle the deck and start flipping cards until a card assigned to the prize appears. That is the prize the winner will receive.

GAW #4 starts NOW!!!

Good luck!

Hi Dennis, I haven't been entering in these because I have frankly won plenty of prizes lately, and it feels selfish to enter. But I like the structure of the contest, and I like to participate.

I'll guess 75 accepted penalty yards.

I mostly only watch Seahawks games, so 75 seems really low. I feel like the Seahawks haven't made it out of a game with less than 80 penalty yards since the Holmgren era.

Edit to add: I checked, and the Seahawks actually don't have as many penalties accepted in recent years as it seems, but they did have the second highest yards accepted in a season in 2017, and a couple other seasons in the top 25, but the Raiders hold the record and most of the top ten spots. As far as most penalty yards in a game, I was surprised to see the Seahawks don't have any games in the top 25 (though they are the opponent in a number of those games). The Seahawks worst game was 148 accepted yards in 2018. The Seahawks do still reign as the most penalized team in total penalties since 2009. The Legion of Boom years were rough for penalties, there were at least three seasons where the Seahawks were the most penalized team, and the least penalized team was whomever the Seahawks faced, but after the LoB faded away, the penalties have evened out a lot (but I feel like this year's defense could end up being a return to form, but they have been playing cleaner so far, knock on wood).

Edit again to add: The Seahawks and the Lions play on Monday. I know I will be watching to see who gets screwed over worse by the Refs! One of my favorite series of games to watch over my life has been Seahawks/Lions games, because I feel like both teams have a real history of blatantly bogus calls going against them. And every year it seems like the refs get extra silly for the Seahawks/Lions games with bogus calls turning into escalating reciprocating absurd calls, and in the end it always seems like the Refs decide that there has to be some call so outrageous against the Lions that even I as a Seahawk fan have to feel sorry for them. I can't actually spoil a game that hasn't happened, but usually it seems like the Lions get screwed over worse for the last decade.
