Standings | Analyst of the Year IX | Week 9

Analyst of the Year IX

The back stretch closes with Week 9, and the Analysts again hit a heavy track! After the official midpoint of Season IX, our illustrious Analysts have a 15.7% Trifecta Accuracy Rate and 55.8% Correct Pick Rate…The worst on record! Nonetheless, we have leaders and we have hopers!

Mo Money (3 Trifectas, 20 Correct Picks) continues to hold her slim lead over Bookie (3 Trifectas, 18 Correct Picks). Both front-runners, however, are followed by a slew of contenders only 1 Trifecta behind!

Big Tuna adds a Trifecta to join Sponge Mom, The Strategist, KateTDid and Jimmy V at 2 Trifectas each. Sponge Mom and KateTDid lead the group in third place with 16 Correct Picks, followed by Jimmy V and The Strategist in fifth place (15 Correct Picks each). Big Tuna (14 Correct Picks) trails by a length in seventh position.

Wreck It Ralph gains his first Trifecta of Season IX to join seven other Analysts in a tie with 1 Trifecta each. Craft Brew (18), Roxy Trot (17), B-Reezy (16), and Boo Boo (16) currently have secured a spot in the top twelve positions — and a Claim for the Super Trifecta Bowl IX.

The last five Analysts will lose Claim to Home Team in Super Trifecta Bowl IX. Currently — and again with 1 Trifecta each — Woody and Wise Orangutan are running neck-and-neck for the twelfth and final Claim with 14 Correct Picks each. Wreck It Ralph (13 Correct Picks) is in fourteenth position and Bug Bug (11 Correct Picks) is in fifteenth position — both need more Correct Picks at the least to secure a Claim before the end of the regular season.

Little Tuna and Atwork have no Trifectas on the season. Both need to get to step-step-steppin’ if they hope to hold Claim to a Home Team in Super Trifecta Bowl IX.

Standings | Analyst of the Year IX | Week 8

Analyst of the Year IX

A most excellent week for the Analysts as — for the first time this season (!) — a majority (9 of 17) earn Trifectas in a single week! All but three Analysts are now off the schneid. And (we never thought we would write these words this late in a season)…

Bookie has moved into a tie for first place with Mo Money at 3 Trifectas each. Mo Money holds the inside rail with 18 Correct Picks on the season, but Bookie’s 16 Correct Picks is the second best total in the WFTL!

In the battle for third place at 2 Trifectas each, Sponge Mom (14), The Strategist (14), and KateTDid (14) have the advantage over Jimmy V (13).

The middle of the field is crowded with eight Analysts at 1 Trifecta each. Craft Brew (16), Roxy Trot (15), B-Reezy (14), and Boo Boo (14) have the inside rail over Woody (12), Wise Orangutan (12), Big Tuna (11), and Bug Bug (10).

Little Tuna, Atwork and Wreck It Ralph form the back of the field — none have yet to earn a Trifecta in this terribly difficult season! We think we would be beating a dead horse if were to mention that a poo-flinging monkey is likely to get 1 Trifecta if given 8 opportunities (12%)…So we will just leave that un-noted.

Player Haters Preakness IX

Through the near turn, (most of ) the Analysts find their footing and charge into the final stretch! But Leg 4 goes to the leader who padded the distance with the rest of the field!

Bookie (27 points) pulls further away from Bug Bug (18 points) to take a commanding lead in first place! Bookie also has a first tiebreaker over Bug Bug in second place after the 49ers beat the Rams in Leg 3. If they finish in a tie for the lead, Bookie will take the Preakness Crown!

In a tie at 15 points each, Sponge Mom (9 points), Mo Money (9 points), and Wise Orangutan contend for third place. Sponge Mom leads with 1 Correct Home Team Pick, followed by Wise O. with 1.0 forced turnovers per game (ftpg) a nose ahead of Mo Money with 0.3 ftpg.

Jockeying for sixth place with 12 points each, Roxy Trot, B-Reezy, Craft Brew, and Little Tuna remain within striking distance of the Winners’ Circle. Roxy Trot holds the advantage with 2 Correct Home Team Picks, followed by B-Reezy (1 Correct Home Team Pick), Craft Brew (0) and Little Tuna (0).

The remainder of the field is 18 points behind the leader and 9 points behind second place. In order to reach the Winners’ Circle, the following Analysts need at least a 12-point Player Haters Trifecta.

At 9 points each, Jimmy V, Woody, KateTDid, Boo Boo and Wreck It Ralph are in tenth position. Woody has the edge with 2 Correct Home Team Picks, followed by KateTDid (1), Wreck It Ralph (1), Jimmy V (0), and Boo Boo (0).

Big Tuna, The Strategist, and Atwork each have 6 points at the back of the field. The are eliminated from the Win, but can still chase Place with a 12- or 18-point Trifecta. But rather, the three former Analysts of the Year might want to dwell on their former glory days!

Player Haters Preakness IX

It is looking like the ninth running of the Black-Eyed Analysts is shaping into a Hateful affair after two Analysts perform the Perfect Player Haters Trifecta!

Bookie (18 points) and Bug Bug (18 points) surge into the lead. Neither owns the edge in tiebreakers, and they run neck-and-neck in first place! Little Tuna (12 points) continues apace with her second *lame* Player Haters Trifecta (6 points) in two weeks, while Wise Orangutan (12 points) emerges from the back of the field with a partial Player Haters Trifecta (12 points). Little Tuna controls third place with more forced turnovers per game (third tiebreaker).

Roxy Trot, Big Tuna, Atwork and Wreck It Ralph each have six points to round out the middle of the field.

Giving chase at the back with 3 points each, Jimmy V, Woody, B-Reezy, Craft Brew, The Strategist, and Boo Boo search their feelings: can Hate lead them to victory or will Love triumph in the end!

The ninth running of the Black-Eyed Analysts begins with only one landed punch!

Mo Money (6 points) and Little Tuna (6 points) jump out to the early lead with different strategies: Love and Hate, respectively. Hate beats Love as Little Tuna’s Saints forced more turnovers (1 v 0) than Mo Money’s Jaguars in the first Leg!

Giving chase with 3 points, Jimmy V, Sponge Mom, Roxy Trot, Woody, Craft Brew, The Strategist, KateTDid, and Boo Boo form the middle of the field. On second tiebreaker (1 Correct Home Team Pick), Roxy Trot, The Strategist and KateTDid have the advantage for third place. The remainder of the middle group are separated by their Home Team’s forced turnovers per game.

The back of the field is moseying out of the gate with 0 Trifecta Points and no Correct Home Team Picks. They are also separated by forced turnovers per game. We note only that there is a fierce competition for last place: Wise Orangutan, Atwork and Bug Bug have 0 points, 0 head-to-head Wins, 0 Correct Home Team Picks, and their Home Teams forced 0 turnovers in Leg 1!

Standings | Analyst of the Year IX | Week 5

Analyst of the Year IX

The heaviest track in WFTL history! Yet again, only one Analysts gets a Trifecta in the week. The Analysts’ Trifecta Accuracy remains a sub-monkey 11.8%, while the Correct Picks Accuracy is a languid, coin-flipping, poo-flinging rate of 53.7%. Nonetheless, we are all judged on our individual merits…

Galloping into the back stretch, Mo Money (2 Trifecta, 12 Correct Picks) takes over sole possession of first place. With only three incorrect Picks on the season, her Correct Pick Accuracy is an astonishing 80% on the season.

KateTDid (2 Trifectas, 10 Correct Picks) and The Strategist (2 Trifecta, 10 Correct Picks) slip into second place. They are the only other Analysts currently beating the collective wisdom of previous seasons: around 37% Trifecta Accuracy and 67% Pick Accuracy.

With the only other Trifectas of the season (1 each), Jimmy V, Sponge Mom, Big Tuna, and Bookie vie for fourth place. On Correct Picks, Jimmy V and Sponge Mom move up into a tie with Bookie (8 Correct Picks each) to share fourth place, while Big Tuna falls into seventh place (7 Correct Picks).

As for the rest of the Analysts tied with 0 Trifectas…

In the middle of the field with at least a 50% Pick Accuracy rate, Boo Boo (10 Correct Picks) and Craft Brew (10 Correct Picks) share eighth place. Roxy Trot (9 Correct Picks) runs in tenth place, in front of Atwork (8 Correct Picks) in eleventh place.

The remaining Analysts have a Pick Accuracy rate below 50%! We recommend getting a poo-flinging monkey before the prices surge!!

In twelfth place with 7 Correct Picks each, Woody and B-Reezy can rise above the apes with a good showing in Week 6. In a tie for fourteenth place with 6 Correct Picks, Little Tuna, Wise Orangutan and Wreck It Ralph will need a couple of weeks to prove they have evolved. Bug Bug…Bug Bug…Bug Bug…(5 Correct Picks)…we promise, it can only get better…

Coming out of the far turn of The Marathon of the Ass, the Analysts have their first banner week with five Trifectas!

KateTDid (2 Trifectas, 8 Correct Picks) yields ground to The Strategist (2 Trifecta, 8 Correct Picks) and they run neck and neck in first place. Mo Money (1 Trifecta, 9 Correct Picks) remains in third place over a surging midfield.

With their first Trifectas of the season, Jimmy V, Sponge Mom, Big Tuna, and Bookie escape the gate before reaching the back stretch. On Correct Picks, Bookie and Big Tuna (7 Correct Picks each) share fourth place, while Jimmy V and Sponge Mom share sixth (6 Correct Picks).

As for the rest of the Analysts tied with 0 Trifectas, Week 5 Standings are on the way– and you (we, Wise Orangutan) still have 0 Trifectas! We will sort by Correct Picks in our next update…
