Race Day Notes:
The Bookie will post the gamed day musings in hindsight of one Analyst each week. Wise Orangutan submits these thoughts:
Stupid Jeff Fisher commits to his loser-y quarterback for another week, so I make my pick — Jets will win! Then I learn on Sunday morning that the Jets plan to start a rookie against one of the absolute best defenses in the league. That is a no-brainer…. What is the New York state-of-mind? Did they legalize the 420 goo during the election? Oy vey!
I bet the Jets lose, 9-6. The next week, stupid Jeff Fisher will switch to his rookie quarterback simply because he feels vindicated! The surging Dolphins will then pound his delicate-flower-rookie-quarterback into the grassy turf! Suh-meat!
Are there mulligans in a game of prediction?
The Results Are In!
The Bookie: Dolphins*/Cowboys*/Vikings*
Big Tuna: Cowboys*/Seahawks*/Rams (3 points)
LittleTuna: Cowboys*/Vikings*/Seahawks*
Wise Orangutan: Chargers*/Jets*/Seahawks*
The Strategist: Rams*/Cowboys*/Vikings*
Kal Krome: Seahawks*/Jets*/Cowboys*
B-Reezy: Bears/Vikings/Cowboys*
Atwork: Vikings*/Cowboys*/Seahawks*
Boldly picking three Home Teams on the road, Big Tuna takes a second trifecta in the Fibonacci Stakes and distance himself from the plundering Vikings blundering Norsemen of the competition.
The two Analysts who avoided the sinking ship in Minnesota, nonetheless ran their planes off the causeway in LaGuardia airport after a horned beast pushed the Jets into the Hudson.
Most Analysts make two Correct Picks, as Wise Orangutan and B-Reezy settle for one Correct Pick in the tenth week of the season.
Mathematically speaking…
The Cowboys, Seahawks, and Dolphins were the best option in the first two legs of the Fibonacci. Those three picks two weeks in a row would have yielded 1 *base* trifecta points and 3 *bonus* trifecta points, for a total of 4Â trifecta points and a share of the lead.
