Analyst of the Year VII

Coming around the clubhouse turn of the Marathon of the Ass, the field begins to separate!

With a record-breaking four Trifectas to start a season, Jimmy V holds onto first place by a length over a gaggle of contenders. He maintains a one length lead over his closest challengers. His path to victory is not yet clear, however, as…

Former Analysts of the Year, Big Tuna and The Strategist, three-time Winner’s Circle stalwart, Craft Brew, and the perennial also-ran, Wise Orangutan, trail in a tie for second place with 3 Trifectas and 11 Correct Picks. One step by Jimmy V and any of these four can close the distance for the lead.

Analyst-in-spirit Sir Dog (RIP) rolled over in his grave when Atwork made an un-Bearable Pick in Week 4 (faintly from underground: “What kind of Packers fan are you!”).

Defending Analyst of the Year Atwork falls into a tie for sixth place with B-Reezy, Sponge Mom, The Bookie, KateTDid, and Little Tuna — each at 2 Trifectas and 10 Correct Picks.

(Sidebar from below: “The other five are Bears fans, Atwork…I can’t intercede with my dark forces on your behalf when you side with Les Bêtes Noires*!”).

At the back of the field, Roxy Trot (1 Trifecta, 8 Correct Picks) hobbles in twelfth place and Woody (1 Trifecta, 7 Correct Picks) spits the bit in Allas**!!!

*”The Black Beasts”!

**Note: a joke I plagiarize from social media…there is no D in Dallas!

Analyst of the Year VII

With three Trifectas in three weeks, we have our first front runner of the season! Jimmy V moves one length ahead of his closest challengers in the past week.

Much of the field is bunched up with 2 Trifectas and 8 Correct Picks. Atwork, Craft Brew, B-Reezy, The Bookie, Big Tuna, The Strategist, Wise Orangutan, and KateTDid vie for second place.

Roxy Trot, Sponge Mom, Little Tuna and Woody trail with 1 Trifecta each, with unexpected poor starts by Home Teams (1-2 records) and player injuries (SF) and best-days-behind-me-ism (TB) largely to blame…[Double entendre: note that TB can mean Tom Brady or Tampa Bay. Ha ha!!!]

PC-Fecta Derby VII

With offense bonus points in three straight legs, Atwork (39 points) builds an insurmountable lead down the home stretch! He leads his closest challengers by 19 points–two more points than any Analyst can earn in a single week (17).

All other Analysts remain in contention for Place ($) and Show.

Big Tuna and Jimmy V (both 20 points) currently share second place, with Big Tuna holding the edge with an 11.7 point differential per game (pdpg) by the Ravens vs. 7.0 pdpg by the Patriots. B-Reezy controls fourth place with 19 points.

At 18 points, Craft Brew, The Bookie, and KateTDid remain in strong position. All three have 3 Correct Home Team Picks and are separated only by pdpg (in order of mentions) for fifth, sixth, and seventh places.

At 17 points, The Strategist, Little Tuna, and Wise Orangutan seek a path out of eighth, ninth, and tenth place. These three Analysts each have 2 Correct Home Team Picks, and are separated (again) by pdpg in the order listed.

Roxy Trot holds eleventh place with 16 points, trailed by Sponge Mom (13) in twelfth and Woody (10) bringing up the rear. All three can come from the back of the field to take second place with 11 or more points in the final Leg!

PC-Fecta Derby VII

Atwork (28 points) continues to run at a break neck speed down the far strectch! With two *base* Trifectas, two *extra* points, and two best Home Team Offense bonuses, he hits the near turn with a 11 point lead.

His nearest competitors, Big Tuna (17 points) runs in second place with a *base* Trifecta and *extra* point in the second Leg, while The Strategist doubles her effort (14 points) to take sole possession of third place.

With 13 points each, Roxy Trot in fourth place outpaces B-Reezy in fifth place and Jimmy V in sixth place, based on third tiebreaker (point differential per game): 7.0 vs. 4.0 vs. 2.5.

Craft Brew, The Bookie, and KateTDid contend for seventh place. All three have 2 Home Team Correct Picks, so only point differential per game (7.5, 6.5, and 2.5) separates them in that order. 

Sponge Mom falls into tenth place, just ahead of Wise Orangutan with 10 points. Both are trailed by Little Tuna and Woody (7 points each) at the back of the field.

Two weeks into the new season and all but four Analysts have a busted Trifecta!

Atwork, Jimmy V, Big Tuna and The Strategist lead with perfect 2-0 records. Will any tie last year’s opening pace of three Trifectas in a row???

All but one Analyst trail with a 1 Trifecta. A big group are bunched up at 5 Correct Picks each , with Woody trailing by a head with 4 Correct Picks.

Little Tuna brings up the rear, struggling to determine when it’s best to Pick the Brady-neers or the Beli-triots.

Analyst of the Year VII

Atwork and Jimmy V put the Analysts on notice that the sixth season of Analyst of the Year was no fluke!

To start Season VII, the top two Analysts are joined by Sponge Mom, Big Tuna, and The Strategist as the Analysts to start Season VII with a Trifecta. 

Seven Analysts sputter out of the gates with 2 Correct Picks in a tie for sixth place, while Woody trails after her Cowboys spit the McCarthy bit on a questionable fourth down decision. 

As the Analysts enter the near turn, nine Claimed winners to begin the year, three had competitors in the opening stretch, and only one Analyst stained his good (ok, mediocre) reputation with a glue mule.
