The Entrants
The Analysts have submitted papers to Claim the Home Teams. The Claim Box for Fibonacci Stakes VI is:
Slate of Games
The Fibonacci Stakes looks to be wide open this year as the Slate of Games features 48 games over 5 Legs but relatively few head-to-head match-ups. The most challenging may be the 4th Leg when only 8 total games and 3 head-to-head games are available for selections. Several playoff-caliber teams go on Bye weeks during the Stakes, limiting the potential for Fibonacci bonuses during the month!
Leg 1 features one head-to-head competition between B-Reezy and Craft Brew. Leg 2 then pits last year’s AoY champion, The Strategist, against this year’s front runner, Atwork. In addition, B-Reezy sends a raid party to Little Tuna and Wise Orangutan seeks gold against Sponge Mom. Leg 3 again has only one head-to-head, Woody – oh my – wades upstream to face Jimmy V. Leg 4 then has three more match-ups to determine whether The Strategist has a prayer against Big Tuna, Little Tuna can rope Roxy Trot, and Atwork strikes it rich against Sponge Mom. In Leg 5, The Bookie attempts to buffalo Little Tuna and B-Reezy sails west to face Wise Orangutan.
Bye weeks will limit the following teams as Picks for Fibonacci bonuses: Rams (Leg 2), Saints (Leg 2), Patriots (Legs 2 and 3), Packers (Legs 3 and 4), Seahawks (Legs 3 and 4), Chiefs (Legs 4 and 5) and Vikings (Legs 4 and 5). These teams are in or coming out of a Bye Week in these Legs.
Alternatively, several un-Claimed teams are eligible for Fibonacci bonuses during the Race: Titans (Leg 1 to Leg 2), Steelers (Leg 1 to Leg 2), Falcons (Leg 2 to Leg 3), Dolphins (Leg 2 to Leg 3), Lions (Leg 2 to Leg 3), Broncos (Leg 3 to Leg 4), Eagles (Leg 3 to Leg 4), Giants (Leg 4 to Leg 5), Ravens (Leg 4 to Leg 5), and Texans (Leg 4 to Leg 5). The un-Claimed teams must be taken in both Legs (and Win the second) to yield Fibonacci bonuses.
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: two Thursday night games and ALL three Thanksgiving Day games, as well as all five Sunday nights (subject to flex scheduling) and Monday night games.
