World Football Trifecta Championship 2017-18

Player Haters Preakness IV Preparations

New Home Team Selection Order

One race into the season, racing officials have learned a few Analysts are frustrated with the Home Teams that are not performing as expected.

According to the rules, the order of selection for new teams is by current playoff seeding, worst to first.

The order of picks will be:

1a. B-Reezy (14th seed NFC)*
1b. The Bookie (14th seed AFC)
3. Wise Orangutan (13th seed NFC)
4. Kal Krome (11th seed NFC)
5. Little Tuna (8th seed NFC)
6a. Big Tuna (6th seed AFC)**
6b. Atwork (6th seed NFC)
8. The Strategist (4th seed NFC)
9. Craft Brew (3rd seed AFC)

* B-Reezy has the lesser conference W-L record.
** Big Tuna has the lesser W-L record.

Home Team Swaps

Only one Home Team horse threw a shoe. Raiders QB Carr is out and so is Big Tuna. Big Tuna will be saddling up the Houston Texans for his Home Team. All other Analyst have kept last race ponies (not the small beer bottles) and have rubbed them down and are ready for THE PLAYER HATERS PREAKNESS!!

Best of luck to you all!!

Aw, who needs luck with the great skill of our Analyst this next race will be another photo finish.

The Entrants

The Analysts have selected their Home Teams to start the fourth annual Player Haters Preakness. The entrants are:

The slate of games for the Player Haters Preakness III will prove to be a challenging test of Analyst’s foresight. With 4 head-to-head competitions this month (first tiebreaker), most Analysts will have to navigate the Run of the Black-Eyed Analysts with moxie and sweat!

In Leg 1, Atwork travels to face Little Tuna. Leg 3 pits The Strategist against B-Reezy and The Bookie forninst  Craft Brew. In Leg 4, Big Tuna challenges Kal Krome. Player Hater Bonus Points may not be earned from the two head-to-head Analyst match-ups, so in each of these Legs the chance for bonus points narrows.

Leg 3 may prove to be the difference as only 4 games feature challengers that may earn bonus points. In Leg 4, only five games feature Home Team challengers.

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 less than a handful of featured games: one Thursday night, two Sunday nights, and one Monday game.

In total, six Home Teams enjoy a bye week during the Player Haters 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 7.
