Super Trifecta Bowl II | Home Teams

The Entrants (by The Bookie)

Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to the second running of the Super Trifecta Bowl. This grueling next three week playoff race will bring us to the final leg of the season and the winning of World Football Analyst Championship Trophy.

World Football Analyst Championship Trophy
The most coveted trophy in sports analytics.

OUT TO PASTURE:

B-Reezy’s BEARS threw too many Cutlers, The Strategist’s RAMS not wanting to ruin their 8/8 season lost their last game and Orangutan’s JETS (who are the Jets?) have all been put out to pasture.

RIDERS UP:

B-Reezy aboard the Purple Bublicious VIKINGS, The Strategist on the Noble but are they Reidy? CHIEFS, and Orangutan on the We Would Have Won But He Hit Me CARDINALS  join Minds Blank on Pukey PACKERS, Kal Krome on Sea Sick SEA HAWKS, Big Tuna on But I Didn’t Inhale BRONCOS, Little Tuna on Cheating A Hole PATRIOTS and The Bookie on Arrogant, Bumptious, Cocky PANTHERS.

AT THE GATE:

The Race Rules (by the Clearinghouse)

The revised and complete rules for Super Trifecta Bowl II may be found here.

In short form, the Analysts need only know four things:

1) A correct trifecta (3 picks) earns 3 points in the Wildcard round, 2 points in the Division round, and 1 point in the Championship round.
2) Super Trifecta Points are awarded for a Correct Pick regardless of earning the trifecta.
3) Each time their Home Team wins an Analyst earns Playoff Victory points. If the Analyst correctly picks his or her Home Team, Reverse PCFecta points also may be earned in the round.
4) Correctly picking un-owned teams earn Player Hater points and correctly picking lower seeded teams earn Seeder Redux points in each round.

Analyst of the Year II

A nail-biter to the end!

In the final week of the Annual competition, two Analysts remained in contention for the coveted Horse’s Anal(yst) of the Year Trophy and purse.

Pulling a rope-a-dope, Little Tuna wisely chose not to pick her Home Team Patriots to win in Miami. Nevertheless, she saw her lead diminish to the narrowest of margins in the final moments of the season as the Seahawks put a first-half beat down on her tricky pick, the Cardinals, ending her hopes for a decisive trifecta victory.

Scrappy to the last moments of the season, The Strategist exploited the Little Tuna’s error and tried to ride her Rams to victory. Greg the Leg lined up for the game-winning field goal that would have sent the Analyst of the Year Award into a playoff… and missed! The Rams’ opponent then countered with a game-winning field goal.

In a photo finish, the Analyst of the Year Award goes to…. Little Tuna!

With seven trifectas and 37 correct picks, Little Tuna moves from worst to first from Season I to Season II and proves her mettle in this game of skill!

The remaining Analysts finished in:

2nd place | The Strategist  | 6 trifectas and 36 correct picks
3rd place | The Bookie | 5 trifectas and 32 correct picks
4th place | Big Tuna | 4 trifectas and 33 correct picks
5th place | Wise Orangutan  | 4 trifectas and 32 correct picks
6th place | Kal Krome | 4 trifectas and 30 correct picks
7th place – Tie | B-Reezy | 2 trifectas and 30 correct picks
7th place – Tie | Minds Blank | 2 trifectas and 30 correct picks

Final Standings

A grueling finish to the 2015-16 regular racing season as the Analysts fail to earn one trifecta in the final two legs of the Seeders’ Cup. Nobody was able to close the distance with the early leader and the winner is….

Little Tuna! On the strength of her early picks, Little Tuna wins the Cup with 11 points. In second place, after an unprecedented four trifecta winning streak that began in the Fibonacci Stakes, Kal Krome finishes second with 6 points.

The Bookie takes 3rd place after bearing down (and then downed by the Bears) to end with 5 points. In fourth place with 3 points, The Strategist experienced the agony of defeat after a missed field goal in overtime. Wise Orangutan ends in 5th place, knowing what it truly is like to be a Jets fan.

Minds Blank, Big Tuna, and B-Reezy taking a beating in the final month of the season. Based on tiebreakers, they finish 6th, 7th, and 8th, respectively.
