Standings | Player Haters Preakness III | Final Results

Player Haters Preakness, 2016-17

Final Standings

The Run of the Black-Eyed Analysts lives up to its billing!

With just over 14 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, The Big Tuna had all of the odds in his favor. Little Tuna, his last challenger, was down by 10 points, 1st and ten on the 25 yard-line, and according to one win probability calculator had only a 6.4% chance of winning the Preakness.  But, the World Football Trifecta deities intervened, and the winner is….

Little Tuna! She takes the Player Haters Preakness 2016-17 for her first win of the third season. After taking an early lead in the first leg, she suckerpunched the competition into submission as her Cowboys went 3-0 in the month. Congratulations LT!

By virtue of the third tiebreaker (1.8 v. 0.7 turnovers per game), Wise Orangutan (2 trifecta points, 0 Correct Home Team Selections) takes second by a nose over The Bookie in third (2 trifecta points, 0 Correct Home Team Selections).

B-Reezy takes fourth place with a single trifecta point.

Bringing up the rear with 0 trifecta points, the unsung challenger Big Tuna takes fifth place after the Eggles lay an egg in overtime against Dallas and he finishes with 1 Correct Home Team Selection and 1.8 turnovers per game.

Completing the field, Atwork takes sixth (1 Correct Home Team Selection, 1.7 turnovers per game), Kal Krome takes seventh (1 Correct Home Team Selection, 1.0 turnovers per game), while The Strategist regresses to the mean on the back of her Rams (0 Correct Home Team Selections, 0.3 turnovers per game).

The Bookie: Thank you for speaking with us tonight. It’s well known you give very few interviews and you’re always at work. But, Atwork, there is one question all other Analysts would like to know, what formula did you use to pick the amazing Vikings for your home team?

Atwork: My formula for picking the Vikings is TOP SECRET. If I told anyone, everyone would know which team is going to win the Super Bowl!!

The Bookie: There you have it. Straight from the horses mouth!
