Analyst of the Year VIII

In the first 18 week season in WFTL history, Jimmy V ties the record of 10 Trifectas set by Atwork and Wise Orangutan! He has two weeks to set a new record for Trifectas. He needs four more Correct Picks to hold both records.

Jimmy V solidifies his first place run with a 10th Trifecta and his 38th Correct Pick. He builds a 2 Trifecta lead with only two weeks to go! Sponge Mom (8 Trifectas and 38 Correct Picks) makes a late move to take second place from Mo Money (8 Trifectas and 34 Correct Picks) in third place. All three remain in contention (mathematically) for the Win.

At 6 Trifectas each, though eliminated from the Win in Week 15, Woody (35 Correct Picks), Roxy Roxy Trot (34 Correct Picks), B-Reezy (33 Correct Picks) and Little Tuna (32 Correct Picks) may still Place if they can somehow overtake Sponge Mom and Mo Money.

The Strategist (5 Trifectas and 34 Correct Picks) was eliminated from Place and Show in Week 16. She edges out Craft Brew (33 Correct Picks and Big Tuna (33 Trifectas each) for eighth.

KateTDid (3 Trifectas and 33 Correct Picks) moves up to tenth place, eager to keep her Chiefs in the playoffs. Atwork and Bookie (3 Trifectas and 19 Correct Picks to each) are tied in the race to the bottom of the list and Analysts with No Claim in the playoffs. Wise O. (2 Trifectas and 31 Correct Picks) moves into sole possession of worst place (first to worst!) and one of the two Analyst with No Claim in the playoffs!

In the home stretch, Jimmy V wins when everybody loses!

Jimmy V holds first with 9 Trifectas and his 35 Correct Picks. Only Mo Money (8 Trifectas and 32 Correct Picks) in second place and Sponge Mom (7 Trifectas and 35 Correct Picks) in third place challenge.

Five Analysts at 5 Trifectas have been eliminated from contention in Week 15. Woody (32 Correct Picks), The Strategist (32 Correct Picks), Roxy Roxy Trot (31 Correct Picks), B-Reezy (30 Correct Picks) and Little Tuna (2p Correct Picks) may still Place, but Mo Money and Sponge Mom must not exceed 8 Trifectas.

The remaining Analysts have been eliminated from Win and Place. Craft Brew (and Big Tuna (4 Trifectas each) and Atwork (3 Trifectas) can still become the Analysts with No Claim in the playoffs. KateTDid (2 Trifectas and 30 Correct Picks) remains in twelfth place, leaving Wise O. (2 Trifectas and 29 Correct Picks) and Bookie (2 Trifectas and 26 Correct Picks) as the most likely contenders for the Analysts with No Claim in the playoffs!

In the final turn, the leaders of the Eighth Running of the Analyst of the Year regain their gait and begin the weeks-long process of eliminating competition!

Jimmy V returns to form at the most opportune moment. He squeezes hard to keep his lead with an 8th Trifecta and 31st Correct Pick. Mo Money (7 Trifectas and 28 Correct Picks) in second place holds off Sponge Mom (6 Trifectas and 30 Correct Picks) in third place, as both add Trifectas in Week 13.

B-Reezy (5 Trifectas and 27 Correct Picks) propels himself into sole possession of fourth place. At 4 Trifectas each, Woody (28 Correct Picks) takes over fifth fourth place, one head lead over The Strategist (27 Correct Picks) and Roxy Trot (27 Correct Picks) in sixth position, and Little Tuna (25 Correct Picks) swimming upstream to the top half of the field.

At the back of the field, Craft Brew (3 Trifectas and 26 Correct Picks) and Big Tuna (3 Trifectas and 26 Correct Picks) stoke their hopes for a championship run and share eighth position.

Headed to the glue factory, defending AoY champion Wise Orangutan (2 Trifectas and 25 Correct Picks) falls to tenth place and becomes officially eliminated from regaining his trophy! Joining Wise O., Bookie (2 Trifectas and 23 Correct Picks) and Atwork (2 Trifectas and 22 Correct Picks) also must recover from an extraordinarily early elimination from the AoY chase.

KateTDid (1 Trifecta), who started the season gloriously with a Trifecta in the first week, ponders wistfully about the season that could have been — if an Analyst had not poached her Claim to the Buccaneers two years in a row!
