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 lots of featured games: two Thursday night, two Sunday night, and three Monday games.

The Patriots are on a Bye in week 4 – Little Tuna will not be able to earn PC-Fecta *bonus* points that week.

Picks

Remember: Every Analyst has a bias for his or her Home Team and may not pick the sponsored 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 winning trifecta. See the Derby Rules for more.

Email three picks to The Bookie before each leg (week) of the Race. The first picks are due on Wednesday, September 9.
