NFL Picks 2014: Week 14

by Zoneblitz Staff | Dec 2, 2014 | 2014 season, NFL Picks

Tony has been caught and Dr. Phil has some late-season competition. John Vomhof Jr. has rocked a 27-4 record the last two weeks to pull into contention for the top slot. He’s got a ways to go yet, but I’ll be peaking at his picks this week before I fill out a couple of confidence pools.

Tony’s 9-7 in week 13 allowed everyone to gain some ground. Can he hang on and remain the top staffer in the contest? Or has the pressure of remaining on top started getting to him? Only time will tell.

Here are the standings:

Well, we’re into the final four weeks of the season. It’s crunch time – time to separate the pretenders and the contenders … and to see which worthless NFC South team steals a playoff spot from a team that deserves it.

NFL Picks 2014: Week 13

For as bad as week 11 was, week 12 was equally as good. It got off to a rough start, with Oakland picking up a surprise win against rival Kansas City. But after that things played out mostly to form, save for a snow-delayed Bills/Jets game that ended up getting played in Detroit.

John nailed 14 of 15, but didn’t gain a ton of ground as nobody missed more than four games. Anthony rebounded from a brutal three for 14 performance in week 11 to hit 11 of 15 in week 12 – but that still carried the rear. Here are the standings:

Thursday marks my favorite holiday – and the strongest slate of Thanksgiving games in quite awhile. The Lions open the day with a should-win game against the Bears, but after that it’s two must-watch games – Eagles/Cowboys and Seahawks/49ers. That’s some good viewing as you’re napping off your gluttony.

NFL Picks 2014: Week 12

Well … that was humbling. Week 11 was a rough one – both for a lot of teams expected to be among the NFL’s best this season and for those of us trying to predict the winners.

I finally won a week, but it was a pretty weak effort at 8-6. Tony, John and Dr. Phil all tied with six correct. Fantasy Editor Anthony Maggio owns the survivor pool, but his picks last week overall left a bit to be desired – he hit just three of 14 games.

Here are the standings:

There are some really interesting games on the slate this week, including a crossover conference game between Detroit and New England and divisional tilts with the Giants hosting Dallas and Arizona traveling to Seattle, where the Cardinals were the only team to deal the Seahawks a loss in 2013. Should be a fun week. Here are our picks: (more…)

NFL Picks 2014: Week 11

I think I want to take Dr. Phil to Las Vegas for a football weekend. He’s on an incredible roll, tying once again for the top standings spot in week 10 – with Andy – at 10-3.

All five pickers nailed nine or more, so it was a good week. Here are the standings:

NFL Picks 2014: Week 10

by Zoneblitz Staff | Nov 4, 2014 | 2014 season, NFL Picks

Different week, same story. Tony and Dr. Phil again dominated the ZB staff pool, nailing 10 of 13 games. All of us held our own, with the lowest score still hitting eight. But Dr. Phil has pulled out to a four game lead – if this keeps up we may have to dust off some Zoneblitz swag and send it his way.

Here are the standings:

Week 10 presents the last of the six-team bye weeks. They’re wreaking havoc on fantasy football players, but the pick segment just keeps plugging along. Here are our picks for the week: (more…)
