The Analysts have submitted their papers and claimed their Home Teams to start the race. The Claim Box for Fibonacci Stakes V is:
Slate of Games
Superscript 1 next to Home Team means the game is played internationally (Leg 3).
The slate of games for Fibonacci Stakes V includes an unprecedented 10 head-to-head competitions this month (the first tiebreaker in the race).
In Leg 1, the front stretch, we kick off the Fibonacci Stakes with three head-to-heads: Little Tuna seeks to super charge Wise Orangutan, Craft Brew looks to quaff down Big Tuna, and Atwork aims to pack up Jimmy V.
In Leg 2, the clubhouse turn, The Strategist makes a scratching post of The Bookie, and Wise O. flings poo at Craft Brew in their second head-to-head competition.
In Leg 3, the backstretch, Atwork packs up for the road to Wise O., Roxy Trot eagle eyes Big Tuna, and B-Reezy pours a pint of Craft Brew.
in Leg 4, the far turn, Wise O. eyes his chances to hawk a Trifecta from the Strategist.
In Leg 5, the home stretch, Little Tuna re-enacts the 1994 AFC Championship game with The Bookie.
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 is yet another record number of featured games: five Thursday games (including two on Thanksgiving), five Sunday nights, and two Monday nights.
Four teams earn a bye week during the month. Bye weeks diminish the potential for bonus points since the Home Team may not be picked two weeks in a row.
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 Correct Home Team Picks remains the second tiebreaker. See the complete Fibonacci Stakes rules for more detail.
Email picks in private to The Bookie before each leg (week) of the Race. Thursday games are due by 2pm local times on Thursdays (flexible per The Bookie’s time in special circumstances). All three Picks are due on Saturdays at 2pm local times. No Picks for games after kickoffs are accepted.
