Well, that was fun.weekly-picks

After watching some of the games go down this last weekend I will not believe anyone scored well. Here at Zoneblitz, nobody got more than half the games right.

So we move on. Fantasy Editor Anthony Maggio’s survivor pool dominance came to an end last week, but he’s still on top of the picks after two weeks. Here are the standings:

Name Week 2 Total
Maggio 8-8 20-12
Andy 8-8 18-14
Tony 7-9 16-16
Rich 7-9 15-17
Vomhof 6-10 15-17

Every year there are a couple of these. What has me concerned is while there are always a couple tough weeks, I’m not sure anything is really clearing up yet as to who is good and who isn’t. Indianapolis, Seattle, Baltimore and Philadelphia 0-2? Atlanta, Carolina, and the New York Jets 2-0? Really?

But what can you do. That’s why they play the games, or something like that.

Here are our thoughts on week three:

Game of the Week: Buffalo at Miami – Let’s be honest, this is a terrible slate of games. This one, maybe Cincinnati at Baltimore and maybe Kansas City at Green Bay may come back to have implications at some point. Otherwise this is one of the most blasé weeks I’ve ever seen. The Bills/Dolphins tilt will provide a solid tiebreaker edge for the winner in their effort to catch the Patriots.

Game of the Weak: Oakland at Cleveland – Both teams had solid wins last week and both may be starting to head in the right direction, but let’s call it what it is: two bad teams playing in a game fans outside the respective home markets will feel cheated by if they are forced to watch.
