by | Dec 28, 2016 | 2016 Season, NFL Survivor pool

Cleveland’s upset of San Diego caught a lot of us last week. Anthony Maggio, however, ran his hot streak to 13 in a row – he hasn’t lost since his first three picks went awry.

Slim pickings in regular season finales. Here’s what we came up with:

Here are our winners in week 16:

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone. Our gift to you is that we’re almost done with our attempts to pick games.

Actually, we didn’t do too badly last week. Results ranged from 13-3 (John Vomhof Jr.) to 10-6, with Vomhof pulling further ahead in the overall standings.

There are still some maddening teams that are hard to figure out — yes, I’m looking at you, Arizona, Carolina, Minnesota, Indianapolis and … well, most of the AFC West in any given week. And the NFC East. And … well, nevermind.

Here are the standings as we head into the home stretch:

Week 15 Overall
John Vomhof Jr 13-3 143-79-2
Tony 12-4 138-84-2
Anthony Maggio 10-6 130-92-2
Andy 10-6 126-96-2

And as we head into the final two weeks, the league has heavily slanted these frames with divisional match-ups. So there is some tremendously interesting football to be played yet. (more…)

Last week felt almost like a free pass. Atlanta got most of us in the win column against a Rams team that finally succeeded in getting Jeff Fisher fired. And Tony’s Detroit pick was a little closer than expected, but watching the Lions hang on to beat Chicago can hardly be described as a surprise.

This week we’ve all got to dig a bit deeper. Here’s what we came up with for week 15.

Tony: Green Bay

Vomhof: Houston

Andy: Buffalo

Maggio: Seattle

Rich: Miami

And here is why: (more…)

Lose one here, lose one there … pretty soon it’s week 15 and you’re in danger of losing the house over a stupid pick ‘em pool.

Hypothetically.

Yes, we’re at week 15. Our picks last week were … better. We still trail most of the “experts” and NFLPickwatch.com this season. But we’re starting to catch on, at least a little bit.

Here are the standings:

  Week 14 Overall
Tony 11-5 126-80-2
Andy 11-5 116-90-2
Vomhof 10-6 130-76-2
Maggio 9-7 120-86-2

 

John Vomhof had pulled away from the pack for a while. Tony’s starting to catch up. Not sure if there are enough questionable games this week to narrow the gap. Here are the picks: (more…)
