A blistering pace to start the sixth annual Analyst of the Year!
No less than NINE Analysts earned their first Trifectas out of the gate. These Analysts are in dead heat for first place to start the year.
The FOUR remaining Analysts each had 2 Correct Picks to start the season.
It looked grim for the Analysts at the end of the Texans – Saints game, but they dug deep at the far turn. Have the Analysts finally figured out how to best the Poo-Flinging Monkey?!!?
Craft Brew (14 points) sprints out of the gates and takes an early lead around the clubhouse turn! With a *base* Trifecta, *extra* point, and the best Home Team Offense, he hits the backstretch with a 4 point lead.
Roxy Trot (10 points) noses out Atwork (10 points) for second place. Both had a *base* Trifecta, *extra* point, and best Home Team Defense to around the first turn. Roxy Trot’s 30 point differential (third tiebreaker) gains the inside rail to Atwork’s 7 point differential.
Five Analysts are vying for position to challenge the frontrunners with 7 points apiece. Separated only by third tiebreakers, in fourth place, we find Little Tuna (18 point differential), followed by Jimmy V in fifth (6 point differential), B-Reezy in sixth (3 pt. diff.), Big Tuna in seventh (2 pt. diff.), and The Bookie in eighth (1 pt. diff.).
Wise Orangutan (6 points) is alone in ninth and Woody (4 points) holds tenth position.
Out of the gates but trailing at the back of the field with 3 points, The Strategist (-3 pt. diff.), KateTDid (-7 pt. diff.) and Sponge Mom (-16 pt. diff.) look to make up ground on the backstretch.
