Player Haters Preakness VIII

A high scoring, if overly nonviolent, Run of the Black Eyed Analysts through the back stretch…But, another punch to the glazzies moves last year’s defending champion to the top of the leaderboard!

Little Tuna adds a Player Hater *base* Trifecta (12 points) to move into first place with 21 Trifecta Points. She is trailed by four Analysts at 18 Trifecta Points, separated by tiebreakers. In second place, Mo Money (3 Correct Home Team Picks) moves ahead of Jimmy V (2 Correct Home Team Picks) in third place. Roxy Trot (1 Correct Home Team Pick and 2.5 forced turnovers per game) holds fourth position by a nose over Craft Brew (1 Correct Home Team Pick and 2.0 forced turnovers per game) in fifth position.

Sponge Mom slips to sixth place with 15 Trifecta Points. She is followed by a set of contenders tied at 12 Trifecta Points each. At the head of the fray, Big Tuna (1 Correct Home Team Pick and 1.7 forced turnovers per game) edges out KateTDid (1 Correct Home Team Pick and 1.0 forced turnovers per game) and Woody (1 Correct Home Team Pick and 0.7 forced turnovers per game) for seventh place. At the back of the fray, The Strategist (0 Correct Home Team Pick and 2.0 forced turnovers per game) beats back Atwork (0 Correct Home Team Pick and 1.7 forced turnovers per game) and B-Reezy (0 Correct Home Team Pick and 0.7 forced turnovers per game) for tenth place.

Wise Orangutan (9 Trifecta Points) falls to the penultimate spot, while Bookie (0 Trifecta Points) ponders whether all this hate is worth the effort!

Analyst of the Year VIII

Seven Analysts earn a Trifecta in spite of a Slate of Games featuring five Head-to-Head competitions in nine games total. The seven includes the two front-runners who continue on a blistering — and now record-setting — pace down the back stretch!

Sponge Mom soaks up half the glory by earning a record 5 Trifectas in the first six weeks of a Season. Not to be outdone, Jimmy V shares the record — while also quietly becoming the first Analyst to earn 5 straight Trifectas! Sponge Mom continues to hold first place on Correct Picks, 17, over Jimmy V, 16. The Strategist clings to third place with 3 Trifectas and 15 Correct Picks, but Mo Money is on her tail in fourth place with 3 Trifectas and 12 Correct Picks.

Wise Orangutan, Craft Brew, Woody, Big Tuna, B-Reezy, Little Tuna, and Roxy Trot contest fifth position at 2 Trifectas each. Craft Brew commands fifth place with 14 Correct Picks, over a bunch with 13 Correct Picks: Wise O., Woody, Big Tuna, Little Tuna, and Roxy Trot in sixth place. B-Reezy cruises in eleventh place with 12 Correct Picks.

The back of the field trails with 1 Trifecta each: Atwork, Bookie and KateTDid. KateTDid holds an edge over the rest of the backfield with 13 Correct Picks, making Atwork and Bookie the leaders for Analysts with No Claim entering the playoffs!

PC-Fecta Derby VIII

The the Run of the Black Eyed Analysts is now a bruising title bout that requires 5 Legs. Leg 2 featured more Head-to-Head competitions (5) than Player Hater opportunities. There was no safe lane for the Analysts to Pick Three!

Despite the treacherous track, four Analysts notched a second *base* Trifecta to draw even with Roxy Trot at 12 Trifecta points. Sponge Mom and Mo Money (2 Correct Home Team Picks each) move to the front of the field on second tiebreaker, with Sponge Mom leading by a nose on third tiebreaker (3.0 turnovers per game vs. 1.5 turnovers per game). Roxy Trot falls to third place with 1 Correct Home Team Pick and 2.5 turnovers per game (third tiebreaker), a nose ahead of Craft Brew and Jimmy V (1 Correct Home Team Pick and 2.0 turnovers per game) tied for fourth place.

In the middle of the field at 9 Trifecta points each, The Strategist, Atwork, Big Tuna, and Little Tuna remain in close contention. Big Tuna and Little Tuna share sixth position (1 Correct Home Team Pick and 1.5 turnovers per game each). The Strategist is in eighth position (0 Correct Home Team Picks and 2.5 turnovers per game), a smidgen ahead of Atwork (0 Correct Home Team Picks and 2.0 turnovers per game).

At the back of the field with 6 Trifecta points, we find Wise Orangutan, Woody, B-Reezy, and KateTDid! Wise Orangutan heads that set with 2 Correct Home Team Picks, followed by KateTDid (1 Correct Home Team Pick), and Woody and B-Reezy (0 Correct Home Team Picks). Bookie brings up the rear — regretting her decision to give up the opportunity for Shenanigans!

Analyst of the Year VIII

Eight Analysts earn a Trifecta in a single week, the most this season, but two front-runners continue to set a blistering pace down the back stretch!

Sponge Mom gets her groove back with her 4th Trifecta of Season VIII to stay a head in front of Jimmy V quietly registers his 4th Trifecta in a row. Sponge continues to hold the edge on Correct Picks, 14 vs. 13. The Strategist takes sole possession of third place with a 3rd Trifecta and 13th Correct Pick.

B-Reezy, Little Tuna, Roxy Trot, and Mo Money contest fourth position at 2 Trifectas each. Roxy Trot’s 12 Correct Picks gives her the slight lead over B-Reezy (11), Little Tuna (11) and Mo Money (9).

The back of the field trails with 1 Trifecta each: Wise Orangutan, Craft Brew, Atwork, Woody, Big Tuna, Bookie and KateTDid. KateTDid and Craft Brew have 11 Correct Picks to hold an edge over the rest of the backfield.

The eighth running of the Black Eyed Analysts starts with a punch!

Roxy Trot (12 points) jumps out of the gates with a rock’em sock’em Trifecta that included the only two possible Player Haters Picks!

In the middle of the field at 6 points each, Craft Brew, The Strategist, Jimmy V, Atwork, B-Reezy, Little Tuna, Sponge Mom, and Mo Money seek the inside rail for second place. Jimmy V, Sponge Mom, and Mo Money have the edge with 1 Correct Home Team Pick each. Forced turnovers per game give the edge to Sponge Mom and Mo Money!

At the back of the field, Big Tuna and KateTDid (3 points each) leave the gate, but Wise Orangutan, Woody, and Bookie hit the stalls with 0 points each!

Player Haters Preakness VIII | Slate of Games

The Entrants

The Analysts have submitted their papers and claimed their Home Teams. Craft Brew has elected to Release the Steelers and Claims the Cowboys before the start of the next Crown Race.

The Claim Box for Player Haters Preakness VIII is:

Slate of Games

The Slate of Games for Player Haters Preakness VIII includes thirteen head-to-head competitions during the month (the first tiebreaker in the race). In addition, six Home Teams will enjoy a bye week during the Preakness. This limits the number of games involving un-Claimed teams each week, particularly in Legs 2, Leg 3, and Leg 5. Leg 1 and Leg 4 entail the most games featuring Player Haters’ choicest opportunities!

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: four Thursday nights (TNF), four Sunday nights (SNF), and five Monday nights (MNF). SNF flex scheduling begins this month, so the kickoff time may change for some Sunday games.

Picks

Remember: Every Analyst has a bias for his or her Home Team and may NOT pick their Claimed 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 *base* or *lame* Trifecta. Analysts must Pick Three games from the official Slate of Games. See the Preakness 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. All Sunday and Monday Picks are due on Saturdays at 5pm EST. Both deadlines may be extended at the discretion of The Bookie. 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.

Standings | Analyst of the Year VIII | Week 4

Analyst of the Year VIII

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.
