Super Trifecta Bowl VIII
With an extraordinary performance wire-to-wire, the Eighth Running of the Super Trifecta Bowl goes to…
Sponge Mom! With 29 points total, Sponge Mom crushes her nearest competitor by 7 points. She earned 15 *Base* Trifecta Points (8 of 9 Correct Picks), six more points (2 Correct Picks) better than the rest of the field. She jockeyed her steed, #4 seed Rams, to 6 Playoff Victory Points and 4 Reverse PC-Fecta Points. Her lead headed into TGWSNBN was sealed by 4 Seeder Redux Points from upsets by the Rams and Bengals in the Divisional Round!
Headed into the Conference Championships, The Strategist had built a strong lead of 22 points. She had 9 *Base* Trifecta Points and 5 Playoff Victory + Reverse PC-Fecta Points from her Home Team 49ers. Upsets by the 49ers had also earned her 8 Seeder Redux Points. But, her 49ers failed to carry her to victory and she missed both Picks in the Conference Championship Round. Nonetheless, she coasts to Place on the strength of her first two Rounds.
Woody was looking like a long shot to start the Conference Championship Round at 16 points and her Home Team Bengals headed to Kansas City to face the defending AFC Championships. She stormed into 3rd place before TGWSNBN and looked like a potential champion at the start of the fourth quarter in the final game of the season. But, her offensive line could not hold back the stable of HoFers on the Rams’ defensive line, and she stalled at Show — the spot in the Winner’s Circle with no Purse!
KateTDid (19 points) takes fourth place on tiebreakers (Playoff Victory Points) over Roxy Trot (19 points), salting the wound that her Chiefs put on Roxy’s Bills! Both Analysts are counting the birds in the bush after their Home Teams suffered losses on the final plays of their respective games after otherwise stellar races by their steeds.
Defending Champion, Big Tuna, closes with 16 points. He again had an extraordinary run of upset picks and netted the most Seeder Redux Points (10) in the Super Trifecta Bowl. But, his dark horses never paid off in *Base* Trifecta Points has he netted only 6 points total. He was not helped by his disappointing steed, the Packers, when they packed up early for the off-season — soon before his QB recommitted to an endless bachelor life!
The rest of the field did not have a shot after the Divisional Round. Read the numbers and weep. There is always next year!!!
