We are no longer going to do kickers. They are way to hard to predict. and most teams only have one anyway. If you need to find a kicker cause of a BYE week base your decisions on 3 factors:
1. Is the kicker kicking in a Dome? (that's good)



2. Is the Defense the kicker facing a tough defense?
3. Is the kicker's offense very good?
