Analyst of the Year VIII

A total wipe-out by the Analysts for the first time this year! Nobody earned a Trifecta, so the Standings largely remain the same except when Correct Picks factor in.

Jimmy V leads by two lengths (7 Trifectas and 23 Correct Picks). Sponge Mom (5 Trifectas and 23 Correct Picks) remains in second place, fending off Mo Money (5 Trifectas and 19 Correct Picks) in third place.

At 4 Trifectas each, The Strategist (21 Correct Picks) is in fourth position, Woody and Roxy Trot (20 Correct Picks) give ground to B-Reezy (20 Correct Picks) and now share fifth position.

Craft Brew (3 Trifectas and 19 Correct Picks) allows Little Tuna (3 Trifectas and 19 Correct Picks) to tie for eighth place. Former Champions Wise Orangutan (2 Trifectas and 19 Correct Picks) and Big Tuna (2 Trifectas and 17 Correct Picks) stay in tenth and eleventh position.

KateTDid, with eight straight weeks of 2 Correct Picks (19 total), clings to twelfth place with 1 Trifecta, while Atwork and Bookie (16 Correct Picks each) are committed to being the Analysts with No Claim entering the playoffs!

A handful of Analysts did not cede ground to the leaders this week. At 4 Trifectas each, The Strategist (20 Correct Picks) is in fourth position, Woody and Roxy Trot (19 Correct Picks) share fifth position, and B-Reezy (18 Correct Picks) holds seventh place.

Wondering what all the fuss is about, Mo Money (4 Trifectas and 15 Correct Picks) ho-hums her way onto the short list of Analysts with four consecutive Trifectas and takes over third place.

In the middle of the field, The Strategist now finds herself surrounded by five other Analysts with 3 Trifectas each. Craft Brew and The Strategist share fourth place with 17 Correct Picks each.

Four Analysts earn a first Trifecta in Season VIII…the same week that the Jets, Giants and Colts win their first games…coincidence or cosmic design?

Sponge Mom suffers her first setback of the Season (due to the Jets!), but remains in first place with 3 Trifectas and 11 Correct Picks. She gives up ground, however, to Jimmy V who registers his 3rd Trifecta and 10th Correct Pick. With 2 Trifectas each, The Strategist holds third place with 10 Correct Picks over Little Tuna in fourth place with 9 Correct Picks.

An enlarged field now trails the early leaders with 1 Trifecta each: Wise Orangutan, Woody, Roxy Trot , Bookie and KateTDid contend for fifth position with 9 Correct Picks each. Also with 1 Trifecta each, Big Tuna and B-Reezy vie for tenth place with 8 Correct Picks, while Mo Money finds her legs to move into twelfth place with 6 Correct Picks.

Searching for predictive gold in Pennsylvania, Craft Brew (0 Trifectas, 8 Correct Picks) and Atwork (0 Trifectas, 6 Correct Picks) find only hay.
