NFL Picks 2015: Week 15

by | Dec 16, 2015 | 2015 season, NFL Picks

We’re at the three-quarter pole of the season. The playoff races are starting to clear up, though our picks remain weekly-picksinconsistent, at best.

Andy and Tony tied at 11 last week with everyone else falling a game or so behind. Tony is running away with the season-long tally, however. Barring a complete collapse he’ll be hard to catch at this point.

Here’s where we stand:

Week 14 Season
Tony 11-5 134-74
Andy 11-5 128-80
Vomhof 10-6 118-90
Rich 9-7 126-82
Maggio 8-8 125-83

I keep waiting for the barnburner week of division games with playoff implications. This season’s schedule has had a lot of weird, dud games throughout. That mostly continues, even this late in the season. Here’s what we think is going to happen: (more…)

NFL Picks 2015: Week 14

by | Dec 8, 2015 | 2015 season, NFL Picks

So who would have thought the Carolina Panthers would be the last undefeated team in the league? And that they’d weekly-picksnot lose a game by week 14? And that the next closest team to them would have two losses? And that the Patriots would lose to the Eagles at home, especially after taking a 14-0 lead?

We could play this game all day. The 2015 season has been one for the unexpected and that continued last week. Still, four of our pickers got 10 right and Fantasy Editor Anthony Maggio paced us all with 11. If you didn’t look at the prior 12 weeks, you might think we actually know what we’re doing here… or maybe not.

But anyway, week 14 arrives in a couple days. And here is where our picks stand so far:

  Week 13 Total
Maggio 11-5 117-75
Tony 10-6 123-69
Andy 10-6 120-72
Rich 10-6 117-75
Vomhof 10-6 108-84

And here are our picks for week 14: (more…)

Zoneblitz Survivor Pool 2015: Week 13

If Zoneblitz employed an editor, Rich would still have a perfect season going.

His gutty Raiders pick last week was the 13th week in a row he’d picked a winner – the one blemish on his record remains the duplicate pick we didn’t catch until too late. He’s going out on a limb this week too. And he’s a big dude – can said limb once again stay in tact?

Tony also has a solid season going, but he dropped the ball last week relying on the Giants. The rest of us are sort of slumbering along, getting one or two right and then illustrating for the world to see why we aren’t employed by the networks.

Here’s where we stand:

NFL Picks 2015: Week 13

by | Dec 2, 2015 | 2015 season, NFL Picks

As a staff we’ve kind of rotated throughout the season as to whom actually seems to know what is going on in the league. It’s Andy’s turn right now, as he turned in his second straight week hitting 11 games.

If we could ever figure out who the hot hand was going to be ahead of time we might be able to hit Vegas and actually win some money. Unfortunately, the hot streaks seem to be coming from thin air.

Tony continues to have the highest mark for the season, but Andy is catching up. Everyone else in week 12 hit no more than nine games. That’s put Andy solidly in second, just three games behind the top spot.

Here are the standings:

Week 12 Overall
Andy 11-5 110-66
Tony 9-7 113-63
Maggio 9-7 106-70
Vomhof 9-7 98-78
Rich 7-9 107-69

And here are our picks for week 13:
