Heading into the near turn, Week 10 carries on the tradition of Analysts bumbling through the ninth running of the Marathon of the Ass!
Everyone remains within 3 Trifectas of the leader with eight weeks to go. We will enumerate the current Standings in hopes that the Analysts will be spurred to get Trifectas after looking at the rankings as a list:
(tied with 13th and 14th) Woody | 1 Trifecta | 15 Correct Picks
(tied with 12th and 14th) Wise Orangutan | 1 Trifecta | 15 Correct Picks
(tied with 12th and 13th) Wreck It Ralph | 1 Trifecta | 15 Correct Picks
Bug Bug | 1 Trifecta | 12 Correct Picks
Atwork | 0 Trifecta | 14 Correct Picks
Little Tuna | 0 Trifecta | 13 Correct Picks
It is pretty much any Analysts’ competition to Win still. Correct Pick differences are also fairly nominal and a string of Trifectas will shake up the leader board in 2-3 weeks!

Tiebreakers after Week 10 of Analyst of the Year IX
The Analysts have submitted their papers and claimed their Home Teams to start the Crown Race. The Claim Box for Fibonacci Stakes IX is:
Fibonacci Stakes IX | Entrants
Slate of Games
Fibonacci Stakes IX | Slate of Games
The Fibonacci Stakes is a five Leg competition!
The Slate of Games for Fibonacci Stakes IX includes twenty-two head-to-head competitions — five in Legs 1 and 3 plus four each in Legs 2, 4, and 5! Head-to-head competitions limit options since Analysts may not Pick against their own Home Teams.
In addition, seven Home Teams will enjoy a bye week during the Stakes. Picking teams going on or coming off a Bye limits the potential for Fibonacci *bonus* points. Leg 1 byes include Ravens and Bengals — neither team can earn *bonus* points until Leg 3. Leg 2 byes include Jaguars, Dolphins and Buccaneers – none of these teams can earn “bonus* points until Leg 4! There are no byes in Legs 3 and 4, but the Bears and Packers are on byes in Leg 5 (the richest *bonus* Leg!).
Fibonacci *bonus* points can be earned from both Home Teams and un-Claimed Teams if taken in two straight weeks. Un-Claimed Teams with a chance at Fibonacci *bonus* points are:
Legs 1 and 2: Cardinals
Legs 2 and 3: Cardinals and Saints
Legs 3 and 4: Patriots, Texans, Lions, Jets, and Saints
Legs 4 and 5: Raiders, Texans, Lions, Jets, and Broncos
Home Teams owned by an Analyst are in bold. The team at the left is the visiting team; the team at the right is the host (playing at home). There are many featured games: six Thursday games (TNF, including all three Thanksgiving Day), five Sunday night (SNF), and three Monday nights (MNF). SNF flex scheduling has already begun, so the teams listed for Sunday Night Football may change.
Picks
Remember: Every Analyst has a bias for his or her Home Team and may NOT pick the his or her Home Team to lose. Analysts do NOT have to pick their Home Teams to win Fibonacci *bonus* points. Analysts must Pick Three games from the official Slate of Games. See the Fibonacci Stakes rules for more.
Email picks in private to The Bookie before each Leg (week) of the Race. Thursday games are due by 4pm EST on Thursdays (flexible per The Bookie’s communications). All Sunday and Monday Picks are due on Saturdays at 8pm EST(flexible per The Bookie’s communications). No Picks for games after kickoffs are accepted.
No revisions (Re-Picks) are possible after the Picks have been released to all Analysts by The Bookie.
