Mo Money gets off the schneid to reach 6 Trifectas and 25 Correct Picks, overtaking Sponge Mom for second place!

After laboring over a heavy track around the near turn, a handful of Analysts pull away from the field and set themselves up for computational success!

Bookie performs the full Fibonacci down the back stretch, earning a *base* Trifecta and three *bonus* Picks for 12 points. She takes the lead with 17 Trifecta Points! Woody and Big Tuna both add a *lame* Trifecta with two *bonus* Picks to reach 15 Trifecta Points total. Big Tuna adds to his second place edge over Woody with another (2) Correct Home Team Picks through the third leg.

Atwork and Little Tuna, tied at 0 Trifecta Points, both report that Smath, the Game That Makes Math Fun, does not help one lick with Picking the outcomes of football games!

The Entrants

The Analysts have submitted their papers and claimed their Home Teams. No Analysts has released or claimed a new Home Team for the next Crown Race.

The Claim Box for Fibonacci Stakes VIII is:

Slate of Games

The Slate of Games for Fibonacci Stakes VIII includes thirteen head-to-head competitions, including five in Leg 5. In addition, eight Home Teams will enjoy a bye week during the Stakes. Picking teams going on or coming off a Bye limits the potential for Fibonacci *bonus* points.

Fibonacci *bonus* points can be earned from both Home Teams and un-Claimed Teams. Un-Claimed Teams with a chance at Fibonacci *bonus* points are Saints (Legs 1 and 2), Panthers (Legs 1 and 2), Lions (Legs 2 and 3), Colts (Legs 2 and 3), Saints (Legs 2 and 3), Giants (Legs 2 and 3), Raiders (Legs 3 and 4), Saints (Legs 3 and 4), Patriots (Legs 3 and 4), Raiders (Legs 4 and 5), and Jaguars (Legs 4 and 5). Un-Claimed Teams must be Picked in both listed Legs in order to earn Fibonacci *bonus* points in the second of the two Legs.

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 many featured games: five Thursday games (TNF, including Thanksgiving Day), four Sunday night (SNF), and five Monday nights (MNF). SNF flex scheduling begins this month, so the kickoff time may change for some Sunday games.

Picks

Remember: Every Analyst has a bias for his or her Home Team and may NOT pick their Claimed team to lose. Analysts do not have to pick his or her Home Team to win, but *bonus* trifecta points are won only if Analysts include the Home Team in a *base* or *lame* Trifecta. Analysts must Pick Three games from the official Slate of Games. See the Preakness Rules for more.

Email picks in private to The Bookie before each Leg (week) of the Race. Thursday games are due by 4pm EST on Thursdays. All Sunday and Monday Picks are due on Saturdays at 5pm EST. Both deadlines may be extended at the discretion of The Bookie. No Picks for games after kickoffs are accepted.

No revisions (Re-Picks) are possible after the Picks have been released to all Analysts by The Bookie.
