Super Trifecta Bowl IX

Down the home stretch, we had a photo finish between three Analysts! The TGWSNBN came down to a single possession and a prescient forecast for the Winner and Final Score! The Winner of Super Trifecta Bowl IX is…

Bookie (23 points)!!! Hobbled in TGWSNBN after her steed faltered in the Conference Championships, Bookie accurately predicted the Winner (Chiefs), Winning Score (38), and came closest to predicting the Losing Score (35). With 6 Prescient points, she added to her Base Trifecta (9), Victory points (3), Reverse PC-Fecta (1), Player Haters (1) and Seeder Redux (3) points. She was the only Analyst to Score 6 different ways!

Boo Boo and Roxy Trot finished in a tie at 22 points after the Chiefs scored 38 points in a Win and took the offense Reverse PC-Fecta (+1). Place then comes down to tiebreakers — and the first tiebreaker, specifically! Roxy Trot started strong with 2 Base Trifectas and 12 Trifecta Points, but Boo Boo scored in all three Rounds to reach 15 Base Trifecta Points total. Therefore, Boo Boo takes Place and Roxy Trot takes Show!

All three of the top Analysts won one Round of Super Trifecta Bowl IX.

A special mention for Wreck It Ralph who finished in fourth place with 15 points. His Bengals made it to the Conference Championships but fell to the eventual TGWSNBN Winner.

All other scores can be seen in the first table below.

Thanks for a great year and fantastic nine-year competition for the most illustrious trophy in Sports Analysis!

Fibonacci Stakes IX

The Analysts honed their computational skills this season as six of 17 Analysts score more than 50 points! One Analyst stood out from the class as he earned all 12 Fibonacci bonuses in the final four Legs! And the Winner is…

Big Tuna! He stuck with the same three Picks for the entire competition and was rewarded with 4 straight wins by each team in Legs 2 to 5 — totaling 57 points for first place. Wreck It Ralph scored in all five rounds, tinkering with his Picks in Legs 2 and 4. But he also earned *base* Trifectas in four straight weeks to finish with 54 points and sole possession of second place!

Four Analysts ran neck-and-neck to a photo-finish for Show at 51 points each: Jimmy V, The Strategist, Bookie, and Boo Boo. Only Bookie and Jimmy V faced head-to-head. On second tiebreaker, The Strategist and Boo Boo had 4 Correct Home Team Picks to Bookie’s and Jimmy V’s 0 Correct Home Team Picks. Show then comes down to third tiebreaker, Fibonacci Picks, between The Strategist and Boo Boo — resulting in a tie for third place with 11 Fibonacci Picks each! Bookie takes fifth place with the first tiebreaker (49ers defeated Dolphins) over Jimmy V in sixth place.

After a strong start, Roxy Trot slides into a tie with Sponge Mom at 49 points. Roxy Trot takes seventh place with 4 Correct Home Team Picks to 2 for Sponge Mom in eighth place. Bug Bug (46 points) runs to ninth place, followed by Woody (45 points, 3 Correct Home Team Picks) in tenth and Wise Orangutan (45 points, 0 Correct Home Team Picks) in eleventh place.

Little Tuna (42 points) lopes into twelfth place. Mo Money, KateDid, and Atwork finish in a tie for thirteenth position with 37 points each, followed by Craft Brew (35 points) and B-Reezy (20 points) at the back of the field.

Standings | Player Haters Preakness IX | Final Results

Player Haters Preakness IX

In the final stretch, Bookie had built a 9 point lead over her closest competitor. Her challengers were forced to seek Player Haters Trifectas to overcome the difference. Was there any Hate left in the ninth running of the Preakness?

Nope! Bookie (30 points) closes out the final stretch for the Win and her second Crown in the Player Haters Preakness! It is Bookie’s first Win since Season VI!

Like last year, we have a four-way tie for second place! Bug Bug went for a Player Haters Trifecta and stalled at 18 points in the final Leg. With 3 points each in Leg 5, Sponge Mom, Mo Money, and Wise Orangutan moved into a tie with Bug Bug at 18 points. None of the four Analysts’ Home Teams faced each other during the Preakness, so Place came down to the second tiebreaker…

And it is Sponge Mom with 1 Correct Home Team Pick vs. 0 Correct Home Team Picks by the other three Analysts. By third tiebreaker — forced turnovers per game (ftpg) — Show goes to Wise Orangutan (1.0 ftpg), with Mo Money (0.4 ftpg) in fourth and Bug Bug in fifth place (0.3 ftpg).

Roxy Trot, B-Reezy, Craft Brew and Wreck It Ralph finish in a tie at 15 points each. Again, none of the four Home Teams faced each other during the month, so on second tiebreaker Roxy Trot (3 Correct Home Team Picks) takes sixth place. The other three have 1 Correct Home Team Pick each, and seventh place goes to Craft Brew with 1.5 ftpg. B-Reezy and Wreck It Ralph finish in tie for eighth place with 1.2 ftpg each.

Jimmy V, Woody, Little Tuna, Big Tuna, KateTDid, and Boo Boo finish with 12 points each. The Strategist and Atwork bring up the rear with 6 points each.

PC-Fecta Derby IX

Heading into the home stretch, we had a three way tie for first place between three Analysts seeking their first PC-Fecta Derby Crown! Could one or more of them outlast the others? And the Winner is…

The Strategist (24 points) with her first PC-Fecta Derby in nine attempts! She rode her Bills for four straight weeks, crushing the field with 17 points in Leg 2 and icing the Crown with 7 points in Leg 4.

Emerging from the middle of the field, Craft Brew (21 points) ran a steady race with points in all four Legs, taking the Offense PC-Fecta (+7) in the Leg 4, sealing Place!

The filly Boo Boo (20 points) also scored in all four Legs, adding just enough points (+3) in the home stretch to finish in Show.

Atwork (18 points) climbs into fourth place. The early leader, KateTDid (17 points), finishes in fifth place. Mo Money (15 points) takes sixth place, edging B-Reezy (14 points) in seventh — the top half of the field.

In the bottom half of the field, Bookie (13 points) makes a late push for eighth, followed by Jimmy V (10 points) in ninth position. Big Tuna (9 points) claims tenth place over Roxy Trot (9 points) in eleventh on third tiebreaker (2.3 pdpg vs. -7.0 pdpg). Sponge Mom (6 points) shooed away the flies to take twelfth position.

Super Trifecta Bowl VIII

With an extraordinary performance wire-to-wire, the Eighth Running of the Super Trifecta Bowl goes to…

Sponge Mom! With 29 points total, Sponge Mom crushes her nearest competitor by 7 points. She earned 15 *Base* Trifecta Points (8 of 9 Correct Picks), six more points (2 Correct Picks) better than the rest of the field. She jockeyed her steed, #4 seed Rams, to 6 Playoff Victory Points and 4 Reverse PC-Fecta Points. Her lead headed into TGWSNBN was sealed by 4 Seeder Redux Points from upsets by the Rams and Bengals in the Divisional Round!

Headed into the Conference Championships, The Strategist had built a strong lead of 22 points. She had 9 *Base* Trifecta Points and 5 Playoff Victory + Reverse PC-Fecta Points from her Home Team 49ers. Upsets by the 49ers had also earned her 8 Seeder Redux Points. But, her 49ers failed to carry her to victory and she missed both Picks in the Conference Championship Round. Nonetheless, she coasts to Place on the strength of her first two Rounds.

Woody was looking like a long shot to start the Conference Championship Round at 16 points and her Home Team Bengals headed to Kansas City to face the defending AFC Championships. She stormed into 3rd place before TGWSNBN and looked like a potential champion at the start of the fourth quarter in the final game of the season. But, her offensive line could not hold back the stable of HoFers on the Rams’ defensive line, and she stalled at Show — the spot in the Winner’s Circle with no Purse!

KateTDid (19 points) takes fourth place on tiebreakers (Playoff Victory Points) over Roxy Trot (19 points), salting the wound that her Chiefs put on Roxy’s Bills! Both Analysts are counting the birds in the bush after their Home Teams suffered losses on the final plays of their respective games after otherwise stellar races by their steeds.

Defending Champion, Big Tuna, closes with 16 points. He again had an extraordinary run of upset picks and netted the most Seeder Redux Points (10) in the Super Trifecta Bowl. But, his dark horses never paid off in *Base* Trifecta Points has he netted only 6 points total. He was not helped by his disappointing steed, the Packers, when they packed up early for the off-season — soon before his QB recommitted to an endless bachelor life!

The rest of the field did not have a shot after the Divisional Round. Read the numbers and weep. There is always next year!!!

Analyst of the Year VIII

Jimmy V extends his new record for Trifectas in a season (12) and sets a new record for Correct Picks (44) in a single season! He is our Season VIII Analyst of the Year! He beats his nearest competitor by 3 full Trifectas!!!

In the final stretch, Mo Money gave Sponge Mom a run for Place. The Patriots spit the bit, however, and Sponge Mom (9 Trifectas and 43 Correct Picks) holds on to Place! Mo Money (9 Trifectas and 39 Correct Picks) in her first season finishes in the Winner’s Circle with a Show.

Roxy Trot quietly finished with a strong season! She had 8 Trifectas and 40 Correct Picks to take sole possession of fourth place. Woody (7 Trifectas and 40 Correct Picks) ends in fifth place, nosing out B-Reezy (7 Trifectas and 38 Correct Picks) in sixth place. With a record four straight seasons in the top half of the field, Craft Brew (6 Trifectas and 38 Correct Picks) somehow emerges from the back of the field to take 7th position!

He edged out Little Tuna (6 Trifectas and 36 Correct Picks) who leads the back of the field in eighth place. The Strategist and Big Tuna (both 5 Trifectas and 37 Correct Picks) end in a tie for ninth place.

That leaves the race to the bottom of the field and the opportunity to become the Analysts with no Claim in the Super Trifecta Bowl!!!

All four of the remaining Analysts fought to the very end to become Analysts with No Claim as none earned a 4th Trifecta in the final week. KateTDid (37 Correct Picks) and Wise Orangutan makes a move (35 Correct Picks) squeeze out eleventh and twelfth place — both have a Claim in STB VIII! Bookie (33 Correct Picks) and Atwork (32 Correct Picks) head to the post-season without a steed, but comfort in the knowledge that they Claim first to start Season IX!

The Seeders’ Cup VIII

Entering the Home Stretch, Sponge Mom had 32 points and a 4 point lead over the closest competition. She used strategery to Box Out the field by taking both the Titans and Chiefs to Win. The Patriots and Rams lost, however, and Little Tuna aimed to sneak past with a Cardinals Win…Could the Cardiac Cards foil Sponge Mom’s second chance at a Win this season…..

NO!

Sponge Mom (42 Trifecta Points) ekes out the Win! — Her first Seeders’ Cup! Little Tuna (38 Trifecta Points) sprinted around the final three Legs to claim Place. She edges out Roxy Trot (35 Trifecta Points) in Show after she played for the Chiefs to clinch the #1 AFC Seed.

Boxed Out by Roxy Trot, Craft Brew (34 Trifecta Points) surges into fourth place. B-Reezy and Woody (33 Trifecta Points each) finish in fifth and sixth place, respectively, with B-Reezy nosing her out by virtue of 1 Correct Home Team Pick. Jimmy V (32 Trifecta Points) rounds out the top half of the field.

Player Haters Preakness VIII | Final Results

The brutal end to the Run of the Black-Eyed Analysts saw all Analysts fail to earn a *base* Trifecta, not one Analyst earn a Correct Home Team Pick, AND not one Analyst with the foresight to Pick Three of four Player Hater opportunities: Jaguars, Broncos,Chargers, or Steelers! 

The Crown Race ended in a five-way tie at 24 Trifecta Points for Jimmy V, Little Tuna, Roxy Trot, KateTDid, and Mo Money. And the Winner is: Mo Money! She had the strongest tiebreaker recorded headed into the final Leg and no Analyst improved position. She excels on tiebreakers over the four other Analysts for her first Win!
Of the remaining four Analysts at 24 Trifecta Points, KateTDid made a last ditch effort to Win but came up just short. She loses to the three remaining Analysts on tiebreakers: Little Tuna (first), Roxy Trot (first) and Jimmy V (second). As a result KateTDid finishes in fifth place.

The three remaining Analysts at 24 Trifecta Points had a photo-finish: Jimmy V bests Little Tuna on second tiebreaker (Correct Home Team Picks); Little Tuna bests Roxy Trot on first tiebreaker (head-to-head Home Team games); and, Roxy Trot bests Jimmy V on third tiebreaker (forced turnovers per game)! As no clear winner emerges on closer analysis of the photo-finish, all three Analysts share Place (and second place Purse!).

In another tie among four Analysts at 21 Trifecta Points, Wise Orangutan, Craft Brew, B-Reezy, and Sponge Mom combat for sixth place! Sponge Mom takes sixth place with 4 Correct Home Team Picks, Wise O. seventh (2 Correct Home Team Picks), Craft Brew eighth (1 Correct Home Team Pick), and B-Reezy ninth place (0 Correct Home Team Picks).

Four more Analysts finish in a tie at 18 Trifecta Points! BigTuna takes tenth place, Woody takes eleventh place, The Strategist takes twelfth place, and Atwork finishes in thirteenth place on tiebreakers. Bookie‘s Wild Ride of five straight Pick Threes for Player Hater teams ditches her in last place with 12 Trifecta Points.
