The Entrants
The Analysts have selected their Home Teams to start the third annual Player Haters Preakness. The entrants are:
Slate of Games
The slate of games for the Player Haters Preakness III may prove to be a brutal test of Analyst’s acumen. With only 2 head-to-head competitions this month (first tiebreaker), most Analysts will have to win the Run of the Black-Eyed Analysts with wits alone.
In Leg 1, Wise Orangutan travels to face Big Tuna. Leg 4 pits the young stallions, B-Reezy and Atwork, against one another. layer Hater Bonus Points may not be earned from the two head-to-head Analyst match-ups.
Leg 3 may prove to be the difference as 5 of 7 Analysts’ Home Teams go on the road against notable challengers (one team on a bye week). In Leg 4, two teams go on bye weeks and limit the available choices to FIVE games total — a photo finish in the making!
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 a handful of featured games: two Thursday nights, two Sunday nights, and one Monday games.
In total, five Home Teams enjoy a bye week during the Preakness.
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 a trifecta. *Bonus* trifecta points are earned for picking against other Analysts’ Home Teams in a winning trifecta. See the Preakness Rules for more.
Email three picks to The Bookie before each leg (week) of the Race. The first picks are due on Saturday, October 8.
