So … maybe you want to go somewhere else for your survivor pool assistance. We’re heading into week six and two of four participants in our DOUBLE ELIMINATION pool are out with one more participant having gotten his first strike last week.
That said, if you’re still looking for advice, our Anthony Maggio and John Vomhof Jr. are still alive to help you out. Here are their picks for week six.
Maggio: Record: 5-0 (more…)
Sometimes you come across a week where it looks like you actually know what you’re talking about. That was week five for us. None
of us got more than four games wrong last week and John Vomhof Jr. scored a 14-1 week.
The solid weeks – and a slide to 11-4 by Fantasy Editor Anthony Maggio – have created a logjam near the top of our overall season totals. Here’s where things stand heading into week 6
| Name | Week 5 | Overall |
| Tony | 13-2 | 49-27 |
| John | 14-1 | 47-29 |
| Maggio | 11-4 | 47-29 |
| Andy | 12-3 | 45-31 |
(Apologies to Dr. Phil for leaving him out last week – he also went 14-1 in week five, which actually puts him ahead of all of us for the season at 51-25). So was our sudden surge toward respectability a sign that we actually are figuring things out? Or was this a case of four blind squirrels finding a nut? We’ll know more, I would imagine, as we journey through the second quarter of the season.
Here are our picks for the week: (more…)
Two Tellijohns in a two-strike, four-person NFL Survival Pool to start the season, two Tellijohns out by the end of week four. Stupid Steelers.
If you’re looking for assistance with your Survivor Pool, you still have the undefeated Anthony Maggio and John Vomhof Jr. to help out. They’re the last two remaining, but both are 4-0 on the season. Here are their picks for week five. (more…)
Okay, Tampa goes and loses by 15 touchdowns to Atlanta and then wins, in Pittsburgh, on a last second TD? Kansas City dismantles New England in such a fashion that it looks like the Belichick/Brady era is winding to a close? Defenseless Dallas dominates the Saints in another prime time game over by halftime?
These are the confusing weeks that make the NFL fun to watch but also occasionally maddening to predict. Fantasy Editor Maggio handled it best of anyone last week, going 8-5 and catapulting into the lead in our overall standings. The rest of us were sub-.500 for the week.
| Name | Week 4 | Overall |
| Maggio | 8-5 | 36-25 |
| Tony | 6-7 | 36-25 |
| Andy | 5-8 | 33-28 |
| John | 5-8 | 33-28 |
The good thing is eventually things usually start to normalize. You start to figure out who the good teams and bad teams are. It clears up a bit in terms of who the surprisingly solid teams will be and the disappointments also start to take shape.
I’m not sure we’re quite there yet, though. We’ll see.
Here are our picks: (more…)
As the furor surrounding several off-field issues faded into the background for a couple days, normalcy returned to the field a bit in week three, as well. Good teams beat bad teams, mediocre teams played other mediocre teams close in games that swung our standings and two or three really good games stood out.
And we managed to fare alright this week, coming back nicely after a brutal week two. John Vomhof Jr. hit 12 of 16 contests while the rest of us trailed by a game. Tony still leads the overall pool for the season – though friend of Zoneblitz Dr. Phil went 12-4 in week three to tie him for the lead. If he can match us for the entire season we’ll have to hunt down some Zoneblitz swag for the good doc.
| Name | Week 3 | Overall |
| Tony | 11-5 | 30-18 |
| John | 12-4 | 28-20 |
| Maggio | 11-5 | 28-20 |
| Andy | 11-5 | 28-20 |
The bye weeks start this week, so there are only 13 games on the slate. And again there are maybe a couple standout matchups along with a couple duds. Division games are at a minimum. So if there were a week you needed to take off for work or something, this might not be a bad one to pick.
Here are our picks:
