The Entrants
All Analysts have decided to stick with their Home Teams for the 2015-16 Player Haters Preakness. The line up is:
Slate of Games
The slate of games for the Player Haters Preakness II includes four head-to-head contests this month (again, the first tiebreaker). Minds Blank’s Packers face The Strategist’s Rams (Leg 1), Wise Orangutan’s Chargers (Leg 2), and Big Tuna’s Broncos (Leg 4). Also in Leg 2, Little Tuna’s Patriots travel to The Bookie’s Colts. REMINDER: No bonus points can be won for picks in head-to-head contests.
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 several featured games: three Thursday night, two Sunday night, and two Monday night games. The Rams are on a bye in Leg 2, while the Bears, Broncos, and Packers are on a bye in Leg 3.
With four head-to-head contests AND four Bye weeks, the 2015-16 Player Haters Preakness features a narrow slate of games (5 games) in Leg 2 and Leg 3. In Leg 2, only three games feature un-owned opponents that can yield bonus points!
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, but the second tiebreaker remains the number of correct Home Team selections. 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 Thursday, October 8.
