Welcome Craft “TheCrew” Brew!

Starting next week we will “Roast” one analyst each week.

After three seasons of bottling up our feelings for one another it’s time to let it out!

Next week we will “roast” our beloved two time Super Trifecta Bowl Trophy winner The Bookie. This year she’s going for the trophy trifecta.
I know this will be a difficult one but with next weeks picks include a snarky one liner. Subject to censorship. Lets keep this clean.

And the race is on!!🐴

The Results Are In:

Four trifectas in the first leg of the PC-Fecta Derby!

Big Tuna seeks to reclaim his Crown and scores three trifecta points in Leg 1 of the PC-Fecta Derby IV (1 base plus 2 offense bonus points).

Little Tuna desperately wants to prove she can win without the Cheatriots and spurs her Cowboys defense to a decisive victory. She holds second coming out of the first turn (1 base plus 1 defensive point).

Atwork gains his first trifecta of the year (1 point). Despite a strong showing on defense, Atwork’s Packers could not pull down the bonus point.

B-Reezy puts the other Analysts on notice that he will be vigorously defending his trophy this year after earning his first trifecta (1 point).

Atwork leads B-Reezy by a head among tiebreaker by virtue of correctly picking his Packers to win.

The rest of the field is off to a slow start, including the usual suspects (The Bookie and Wise Orangutan).

 

The Bookie: Bengals/Steelers/Cowboys
The Big Tuna: Raiders/Panthers/Falcons* (3 points)
The Little Tuna: Cowboys/Steelers/Packers* (2 points) 
Wise Orangutan: Cardinals/Steelers/Panthers
The Strategist: Panthers/Bengals/Steelers
Kal Krome: Seahawks/49ers/Falcons
B-Reezy: Steelers/Panthers/Raiders* (1 point)

Final scores.

Analysts and Home Teams for the PC-Fecta Derby IV

Slate of Games

PC-Fecta Derby IV | Slate of Games
Slate of Games for the PC-Fecta Derby IV

The slate of games for PC-Fecta Derby IV includes five head-to-head competitions this month (first tiebreaker)! Leg 3, the far turn, looks to be a brutal stretch as three games feature head-to-head competitions: Craft Brew vs. B-Reezy (the rook vs. the champ!), The Bookie vs. Atwork (Super Trifecta Bowl III rematch!), and Little Tuna vs. Wise Orangutan (grudge match!). Atwork is fixin’ to bring down the competition all month long with three head-to-head competitions total beginning in week 1, hosting Kal Krome, the week 3 rematch with The Bookie, and hosting B-Reezy in week 4.

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 several featured games: two Thursday nights, (all) four Sunday nights, and one Monday night.

No bye weeks this year during week 4.

Picks

Remember: Every Analyst has a bias for his or her Home Team and may not pick their own sponsored team to lose. Analysts do not have to pick his or her Home Team to win, but *bonus* trifecta points are won only if Analysts include the Home Team in a winning trifecta. See the Derby Rules for more.

Email three picks in private to The Bookie before each leg (week) of the Race. The first picks are due on Saturday, September 9.

PC-Fecta Derby, 2016-17

Final Standings

At the finish, Kal Krome (5 trifecta points) holds off a late threat from The Strategist (4 trifecta points) to win the 2016-17 PC-Fecta Derby! Kal Krome earns his second Quaternary Crown and signals to the other Analysts that the Hawks are not to be trifled with this year — despite falling to the lowly first-place Rams!

Atwork (3 trifecta points) edges past Big Tuna (3 trifecta points) to take 3rd place based on the third tiebreaker: point differentials by the Home Team (9.3 vs. 0.5). The Vikings and Raiders look capable of sacking other Analysts in the coming months.

In fifth with two trifectas, B-Reezy whips his gimpy Bears around the final turn to upset the listless cavalry sponsored by Wise Orangutan (1 trifecta point) .

In seventh, Little Tuna (0 trifecta points) purrs just ahead of The Bookie’s fishy horse (0 trifecta points) based on the third tiebreaker (point differentials, -2.3 > -4.5).

Minds Blank’s trifecta points are under review after submitting Leg 4 picks through unofficial channels. Guido is headed to Washington to investigate what insiders are calling, L’affaire des brownies. Minds Blank is a scratch until further notice.

Wise Orangutan: Chargers/Ravens/Bengals
The Strategist: Rams/Vikings/Chargers
Kal Krome: Seahawks/Cardinals/Saints
B-Reezy: Raiders/Seahawks/Vikings

Race Day Notes:

Each week the Bookie will interview one analysts. This week the Bookie interviewed the Big Tuna. I was welcomed into his home by his lovely wife Little Tuna. She said he’d see me in his man cave where he prepares by watching ESPN before the race. I asked him how he felt about seeing the finish line with two horses in front of him and another beside him and 2 horses coming up from the rear, I said you must be nervous being in the middle of this pack?

Big Tuna leaned back in his recliner, took a swig of some foul looking green liquid from his glass and said, “Give up, y’all. There is no point trying. This was named in my honor after all.🐷”
So there you have it. Big Tuna predicts a repeat of PC-FECTA Derby I.

The Results Are In!

The Bookie: Seahawks/Cardinals/Chargers
Big Tuna: Raiders/Cardinals/Bengals
Little Tuna: Cardinals /Giants/Bengals
Wise Orangutan: Chargers/Ravens/Bengals
The Strategist: Rams/Vikings/Chargers
Kal Krome: Seahawks/Cardinals/Saints
B-Reezy: Raiders/Seahawks/Vikings (1 point)
Atwork: Vikings/Panthers/Seahawks
 
In the final stretch, B-Reezy un-bears down for the sole trifecta for 1 point.

The Strategist, Kal Krome, and Atwork eat B-Reezy’s dust with only two Correct Picks, while The Bookie, Big Tuna, Little Tuna, and Wise Orangutan limp across the finish line with a single Correct Pick.

Trifecta Points

Kal Krome (5 points) spurs his team around the third turn to secure the lead from The Strategist (4 points). In third, Atwork (3 points) noses ahead of Big Tuna (3 points) based on the scores of his stallion (third tiebreaker). Heading into the fourth turn, these four Analysts are poised to take the third — and most competitive – Derby in WFTL history.

In fifth, Wise Orangutan (1 point) clings to one head lead over B-Reezy (1 point) by virtue of correctly picking his Home Team once (second tiebreaker).

Minds Blank, Little Tuna, and The Bookie trot toward a last place finish. See the pick results.

Tiebreakers

Headed into Leg 4, The Strategist holds an important tiebreaker over Kal Krome should they finish with the same trifecta points. Atwork holds tiebreakers over Minds Blank and Little Tuna, however, both have already been eliminated. Kal Krome, Atwork, and Big Tuna have the advantage for selecting Home Teams correctly (twice), while Wise Orangutan remains pie-eyed with an unlikely comeback based on the game scores by their horses. B-Reezy’s Derby dreams broke under the unBearable weight of winning a professional football game.

Race Day Notes:

Each week the Bookie will interview one analysts. This week the Bookie interviewed the Strategist at her high rise apartment in Chicago. When asked how she felt about last weeks results, She humbly applied how surprise she was to have taken the lead so early in the race. She continued (and I quote) by saying “I have a solid chance of beating the Orangutan”. This being a personal goal, she added this prediction “The Wise Orangutan will be the big loser this year!”

We might see a little slipstreaming action with the Little Tuna and The Strategist together to give this Orangutan a Charlie horse.

The Results Are In!

 

Around the third turn, Atwork’s horse sense blitzes the competition, knocking out five Analysts with Viking efficiency and securing the bonus trifecta point for best defense.

In a cagey performance, however, Kal Krome evades the Panther trap set by Atwork and rounds the third turn on a 37-point offensive gallop by the Seahawks.

Wise Orangutan is crushed by his un-super Chargers and joins the Panther-bitten Analysts around the third turn.

The Bookie: Dolphins/Packers/Panthers
Big Tuna: Raiders/Cowboys/Panthers
LittleTuna: Panthers/Colts/Titans
Wise Orangutan: Chargers/Dolphins/Cowboys
The Strategist: Packers/Panthers/Seahawks
Kal Krome: Seahawks/Cowboys/Packers (3 points)
Minds Blank: Packers/49ers/Panthers
B-Reezy: Seahawks/Dolphins/Panthers
Atwork: Vikings/Packers/Rams (2 points)

 

Top teams among trifecta winners:

Top offensive team (+2): Seahawks (37 points scored)

Top defensive team (+1): Vikings (10 points allowed)

Final scores.
