Standings | Fibonacci Stakes IV | Leg 4

Fibonacci Stakes IV

Little Tuna and Craft Brew make their play for the lead heading into the brutal fifth leg of the Fibonacci Stakes!

Coming out of the far turn, Little Tuna successfully calls the complete Fibonacci Trifecta: 3 base points plus 3 Fibonacci bonus points. She moves into the lead with 9 total Trifecta points.

Only one length behind, Craft Brew bags the 3-point base Trifecta plus 2 Fibonacci bonus points for 5 points in the fourth leg. He holds second with 8 total Trifecta points headed into the home stretch.

Trailing the leader by five lengths, The Stategist holds at 4 total Trifecta points in third place.

Trailing the front runner by six lengths, four Analysts give chase with 3 Trifecta points. The Bookie and Big Tuna are in a dead heat for fourth place with 3 Correct Home Team Picks and 6 Fibonacci bonus points each–but The Bookie holds the advantage with a head-to-head victory. In sixth, Kal Krome follows with 2 Correct Home Team Picks and 6 Fibonacci points, plus the head-to-head advantage over Wise Orangutan in seventh.

B-Reezy trails the leader by seven lengths (2 Trifecta points total), while Atwork runs in ninth with 1 Trifecta point. Though in contention, both Analysts will need a clutch sprint down the home stretch to win the Fibonacci Stakes.

Analyst of the Week
The Strategist

Our Celebrity Analyst Roasters:

The Bookie: The Strategist is a modest Analyst, with much to be modest about.
Lately she’s had delusions of adequacy.
She thinks she could win a trophy this year!!
You’ll never hear her say “it’s only a game” she’s more likely to say “if winning isn’t everything, why do we keep score???

Big Tuna: Goes up to the microphone. Blushes furiously. Giggles and says, “Pretty!”

Little Tuna: The Strategist has to live with Wise O. I don’t believe in kicking a horse when it’s down.

The Wise Orangutan: I would roast The Strategist, but if I were to describe the analytical genius in action, it would be an embarrassment to those of us who trail in the AoY competition. I mean, maybe there is some benefit in reading predictive analytics and expert picks every week, but what is the point when you are like a ninth-level, ninja pop psychologist who can divine which team “wants it more this week” just by looking at the teams on the schedule…

Kal Krome: What kind of strategist is The Strategist? I’ve met the Wise O?!?

Craft Brew: Happy Birthday Matt!! Do you know how the strategist was able to supply and buy your diapers when you needed to be changed When you were a baby? By taking your uncles money stash from under his mattress! When we were kids. ! LOL!!

B-Reezy: The Queen of Lies and Deceit has assimilated the memory of her winning the Analyst of the Year trophy obviously.

Atwork: even the crickets are quiet. Shhh

The Results Are In:

The Bookie: Rams*/Steelers*/Chiefs
The Big Tuna: Saints*/Seahawks*/Patriots*
Little Tuna: Patriots*/Rams*/Seahawks* (6 points)
Wise Orangutan: Chiefs*/Seahawks*/Eagles
The Strategist: Steelers*/Chiefs*/Eagles
Kal Krome: Seahawks*/Saints*/Steelers*
B-Reezy: Chiefs*/Saints*/Steelers*
Atwork: Eagles*/Saints/Steelers
Craft Brew: Steelers*/Seahawks*/Patriots (5 points)

Scenarios | Fibonacci Stakes IV | Leg 4

Fibonacci Stakes Leg 4 Scenarios:

Current Standings

Standings | Fibonacci Stakes IV | Leg 3
Standings after Leg 3 of Fibonacci Stakes IV

General scenarios:

With seven Analysts at 3-4 Trifecta points, most Analysts will be able to win the Fibonacci Stakes in Leg 5. This week a base trifecta is worth 3 points and the maximum is 6 points with 3 Fibonacci bonus picks. That means the largest lead anyone can open is 7 points (The Strategist). If an Analyst falls behind by 7 points, the Analyst will be forced to take the same teams in Leg 5 to overtake the leader.

In Leg 5, the base trifecta is worth 5 points and the maximum trifecta is worth 8 points with 3 Fibonacci bonus picks. However, the Slate of Games for Leg 5 pits 6 Home Teams against each other. If two teams from Leg 4 picks by an Analyst play each other in Leg 5, the Analyst will have to change at least one pick and will have a maximum of 7 trifecta points in Leg 5.

Also, beware the Box Out! If two Analysts have the same picks, the Analyst with more points or better tiebreakers blocks the opponent down the homestretch!

Eliminations:

At this time, only Atwork can be eliminated before Leg 5 and only if The Strategist earns 6 points to take a 9 point lead over him.

B-Reezy is in a precarious position if The Strategist takes an 8 point lead, but he may still come from behind if the Stakes ends in a photo finish (tiebreakers).
