Another edition of the Cody Parkey kickoff tracker and contest is here following Monday night’s fun spectacle that had the Eagles rookie plenty busy — kicking off eight times.
If today plays out the way many expect, Parkey will have plenty of opportunities again. The catch is he will do it in cold weather for the first time in his career. Temperatures in Lambeau are expected to be hover around 20 degrees at kickoff and drop as the sun sets.
I ain’t worried, but if you want to take that into consideration when making your guess, go for it.
Tweet at me (@drewBbalis) before kickoff today guessing the number of touchbacks Parkey has AND the Packers average starting field position on his kickoffs (far right column of the chart — sans brackets)
Get your guesses in so as not to piss of Claude Giroux, and stay tuned for a big announcement to our contest coming on Wednesday or Thursday of this week.
I got 6 and 21. Your chart will of course be updated throughout the afternoon as always.
