Race Day Notes:
Thank you all for the privilege I have had to interview each and everyone of you. Your candidness has been appreciated.
For the next 8 weeks I will ask each of you to reflect on your strategies and how they are working.
Our first muse will be from Big Tuna!
Big Tuna: “I should have stuck to college football. Alabama football has never made me feel like I know about as much about football as a five year old princess.” 👸
The Results Are In!

Normalcy comes to the football season as five of five teams with winning records notch another victory in the crucial month of November!
The Bookie and Atwork, shaking up** their Home Teams, sprint down the backstretch with 3 Correct Fibonacci bonus picks (5 points).
Analyst of the Year frontrunner B-Reezy (3 points) continues to hold his Home Team off the pace while playing the form of the other Analysts’ horse senses. Wise Orangutan, though boxed out by B-Reezy, follows the leader for 3 points.
Big Tuna and The Strategist suffers another bad “trip”** in the closing furlong of the backstretch as Jeff Fisher gives the Analysts one more insight into football prognostications: Never pick a team whose coach hand rides*** his rookie quarterback.
Little Tuna and Kal Krome add two Correct Picks to hold pace.
* Shake up: Urging by the jockey, either with his hands or the whip, to make the horse run faster.
** Trip: The course followed by a horse and rider during the running of a race and describes the “trouble” encountered. A horse that had a “good trip” did not encounter any unusual difficulty. A “bad trip” might involve racing wide, or being boxed in by other horses.
*** Hand ride: A jockey that is urging a horse on by “scrubbing” his hand up and down its neck. A horse under only a hand ride was not whipped by the jockey.
Mathematically speaking…
The Cowboys, Seahawks, Dolphins, and Vikings offered several different options to maximize Fibonacci bonus points in the 3rd leg of the Fibonacci Stakes. Three picks two weeks in a row with a selection of those teams would have yielded 2 *base* trifecta points and 3 *bonus* trifecta points, for a total of 5 trifecta points and the lead.
