If you’re looking to put some money down over the next couple weeks, John Vomhof Jr. is the man to follow. He has yet to catch Dr. Phil, but his 51-12 clip has him a couple games ahead of the nearest Zoneblitz contributor.
John and Andy paced the group last week with 12-4 marks. In truth, though, all of us are holding our own. John would fall in the top 20 percent of the 133 experts followed by NFL Pickwatch. Tony would be in the top third. Dr. Phil? Rarified air – he’d be tied for fourth. Looking for a job?
Anyway, just two weeks left in the regular season. And here are the standings.
Name | Week 15 | Overall |
Dr. Phil | 11-5 | 156-67-1 |
John | 12-4 | 151-72-1 |
Tony | 11-5 | 149-74-1 |
Andy | 12-4 | 145-78-1 |
Maggio | 10-6 | 134-89-1 |
The playoffs are approaching and the games are getting more important. The NFC South still has a chance to get a team to .500. … though it’s unlikely. But anyway, it’s getting to be crunch time. The next couple weeks should be fun. Here are our picks for week 17.

Game of the Week: Seattle at Arizona – It doesn’t get much better than this. The winner could be the top seed in the NFC. The loser has an outside shot of missing the playoffs. The Seahawks are probably the league’s hottest team. The Cardinals have won a couple straight despite being down now to their third-string QB. Great Sunday night match-up.
Game of the Weak: Tennessee at Jacksonville – The fantasy football finals are this week in most leagues, but most owners probably won’t have to worry much about the Thursday night game. There’s not much to see here – perhaps the best thing about this game being on Thursday is that nobody will have to watch it on Sunday.
