Results of Week 17 may be contingent on the official record for the Bills and Bengals game in Week 17. Currently, the game is postponed and neither team awards a Correct Pick for the win.*
Analyst of the Year IX
A wrinkle in timing has muddled the current Standings of the Ninth Marathon of the Ass! While some results are updated, several Analysts find themselves in a cloud of dust down the home stretch. What we do know is that three Analysts remain in contention for the Win.
Bookie (8 Trifectas and 38 Correct Picks) clings onto first place by a head. Big Tuna (8 Trifectas and 34 Correct Picks) adds to his season Trifecta total and moves into second place. The Strategist (7 Trifectas and 35 Correct Picks) falls into third place, barely within striking distance of the leader!
Jimmy V, Roxy Trot, and Wreck It Ralph entered Week 17 with mathematical possibilities for the Win. After adding a Trifecta on the season, Wreck It Ralph (7 Trifectas and 34 Correct Picks) moves into fourth place. Unfortunately, he trails the leader by 1 Trifecta and 4 Correct Picks, so his best hope is now Place. Roxy Trot (6 Trifectas and 38 Correct Picks) and Jimmy V (6 Trifectas and 35 Correct Picks) fall to fifth and sixth place, respectively, with their best hope becoming a Show at 7 Trifectas.
All other Analysts are eliminated from Win, Place, or Show at 7 Trifectas. The five Analysts with the worst records in the Analyst of the Year are at risk of losing Claim to a Home Team during Super Trifecta Bowl IX. All of the below Analysts have mathematical possibilities for relegation to the horseless.
At 5 Trifectas each, the following Analysts lead the list of Analysts who currently retain a Claim to a Home Team during the Super Trifecta Bowl. Mo Money (36 Correct Picks) is in seventh place, trailed by Sponge Mom (35 Correct Picks) in eighth place. Wise Orangutan (33 Correct Picks) remains in ninth position. These three Analysts appear to be safe from relegation. Bug Bug (29 Correct Picks) holds tenth place, but she needs at least 2 Correct Picks or The Seeders’ Cup Crown to remain safe from relegation.
Craft Brew (4 Trifectas and 36 Correct Picks) continues to move up the board and now is in eleventh place. Boo Boo and KateTDid (both with 4 Trifectas and 33 Correct Picks) are in a tie for twelfth place — if the season ended this week, a coin flip would determine which was relegated to an Analyst with No Claim. Woody (4 Trifectas and 30 Correct Picks) is in fourteenth place. To escape relegation, these four Analysts likely need a Trifecta or The Seeders’ Cup Crown to retain a Claim in the Super Trifecta Bowl — if three out of four earn Trifectas in Week 18, the fourth who remains at 4 Trifectas will be relegated to an Analyst with No Claim (also, see NOTE below).
B-Reezy (3 Trifectas and 29 Correct Picks) and Little Tuna (3 Trifectas and 29 Correct Picks) are tied for fifteenth position, while Atwork (0 Trifectas) in last place. All three need The Seeders’ Cup Crown in order to retain a Claim in the Super Trifecta Bowl.
*NOTE: Woody, Little Tuna, KateTDid, Atwork, and Bug Bug possibly have one more Correct Pick depending on the outcome of the Bills and Bengals game from Week 17. KateTDid has a Trifecta pending (with a Bills win) that would give her a 5th Trifecta, moving her up to 9th place and moving several others down one position (toward relegation). Woody (Bills) or Bug Bug (Bengals) have a Correct Pick pending that may affect relegation (13th place) at the end of the regular season. Little Tuna and Atwork (Bills) have Correct Picks pending that will not affect relegation.
