NFL Picks 2016: Week six

by | Oct 12, 2016 | 2016 Season, NFL Picks

It seems like one of us gets it almost each week – but it’s never consistently the same person.

John Vomhof Jr. paced the picks last week and he now leads for the season. Andy and Tony have stabilized a bit. Anthony, after posting the best picks for week four, dropped to the bottom with a .500 mark in week five.

Week six includes another slate of largely non-descript games. This league can post a lot of mediocre schedules, when it backlogs divisional match-ups for the last couple weeks of the season and puts a couple teams each week on bye.

We’ll see what we can make out of this week’s jumbly mess.

Here are the standings:

Week 5 Overall
Vomhof 12-2 49-28
Tony 9-5 43-34
Andy 9-5 39-38
Maggio 7-7 37-40

And here are our picks:

Tony wins.

This wildly unpredictable season claimed its final two victims during week four: Andy missed on Carolina (which as it turns out was also a duplicate pick – already? Haven’t we done this before?) and John missed on Arizona – and neither of those teams came close to winning, nor did they escape with their QBs unharmed.

Tony won with Cincinnati’s Thursday night domination of Miami. Rich and Maggio also each tallied their first correct picks of the season.

We’ll keep this up for at least a few more weeks to see how long Tony can carry on this perfect streak. Not many surprises on the slate this week – Here are our picks:

Tony: New England

Vomhof: New England

Andy: New England

Maggio: Oakland

Rich: New England

Well, one of us seems a step or two closer to figuring the league out.

Fantasy Expert Anthony Maggio hit 10 of 15 games to lead the pack.

The rest ranged from nine correct picks to Andy’s six – what’s he smoking?

“The games just seem so hard this year,” he says. “No way I can do that badly again this week … unless I do.”

Week five presents another weak schedule of mid-season games the league is trying to bury so the end of the season can be exciting.

Here are the standings after week four.

  Week 4 Overall
Maggio 10-5 30-33
Tony 9-6 34-29
Vomhof 8-7 37-26
Andy 6-9 30-33

This year’s Survivor Pool seems to have a collection of haves and a collection of have-nots. John Vomhof, Andy and Tony remain undefeated and alive in our main pool. The consolation participants also have perfect records going.

Will that trend continue in week four?

Vomhof: Arizona
Andy: Carolina
Tony: Cincinnati
Maggio: Washington
Rich: Dallas

Ok seriously – what the hell is going on with the NFL this season?

It’s early and it’s harder to make picks, but we’re nearing the season’s quarter pole – and none of us have really figured the league out yet this year. Six times last week every single one of us picked a game incorrectly. That’ll happen once in a while, but six times?

I’ve never had a season where 50-50 was the rule. Three of us went 8-8 in week three. Anthony really struggled, pulling up the rear at 5-11.

There will be no .500 marks this week. … That’s because the bye weeks start. So, here’s hoping we end up on the right side of the line. Here are the standings so far.

  Week 3 Overall
Vomhof 8-8 29-19
Tony 8-8 25-23
Andy 8-8 24-24
Maggio 5-11 20-28

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