NFL Picks 2016: Championship weekend

by Zoneblitz Staff | Jan 19, 2017 | 2016 Season, NFL Picks

Some people say this has been a disappointing post-season so far. And maybe they are right – most of the games to this point have been blowouts. The Green Bay/Dallas game saved divisional weekend. And the Chiefs/Steelers game at least had some drama.

But if it’s been disappointing so far, we should at least be set up for two great games this weekend. Should be plenty of scoring and plenty of excitement.

First, a recap of last week. Andy was brutal during the regular season, but he’s on fire right now. Can’t miss. Tony’s close behind. Here are the standings:

And here are picks for championship weekend. Enjoy folks: (more…)

John’s pretty well got this thing wrapped up. A 10-6 mark in week 16 leaves him five up on the nearest competition, Tony, who also hit 10.

Andy has wrapped up the bottom. He’s been clueless most of the season. And he was the first of our pickers to break 100 wrong.

And so it goes.

Here are the 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:

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…)

NFL Picks 2016: Week15

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:

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…)
