NFL Best Bets: Week 12, 2011

by | Nov 23, 2011 | 2011 season, NFL Gambling

We’re rallying a bit here at Zoneblitz.com headquarters, err, well, kind of, anyway.

Tony hit two of four picks in week 11, up from zero the week before. I was right on two of my three normal picks. My upset pick (Cincinnati [+7/+250 moneyline] over Baltimore was right against the spread. But the Bengals failed to finish the straight up win. We’ve been considering the upset pick to be am upset straight up, so I guess I can’t claim a win there.

So … I suppose you should probably keep looking elsewhere if you’re really looking to make a killing at the sports book.

Nonetheless, it fills space, so we’ll keep throwing our thoughts out there. Here goes for week 12: (more…)

NFL Best Bets: Week 11, 2011

Tony keeps saying we don’t know what we’re talking about. I don’t know what he’s talking about. I missed my upset, but nailed my other three. I guess he’s right about himself though as he clocked in with an 0-4 week, matching my futility from the week before.

We may not be any good at this gambling thing but you have to give us credit for persistence. We keep making inconsistent and clueless bets week after week after week. I guess we’re Vegas’ dream in that respect.

So here we go again:

NFL Best Bets: 2011, Week 10

We told you last week that we clearly didn’t know what we’re doing.  Clearly we were even more right than we knew—Andy went 1-3, while I go 4-0.  If you followed our advice and bet against us, I still managed to screw you.

NFL Best Bets: 2011, Week 9

The good news: Our record was perfect last week in betting.  The bad news: That was a perfect 0-8.  Seriously, if we were really betting on these games, we’d be in hiding right now—not from kneecap breaking bookies, but probably from our wives.

By now it’s likely that if you’re coming to us for information on who to pick in Vegas that you probably have lost your bankroll for the season. You really shouldn’t be relying on us. You should instead maybe seek advice from this guy or this guy. Or maybe this guy.

But you’re here. And we’ve made weekly habit of making asses out of ourselves, so here we go again with our picks of the week.

NFL Best Bets: 2011, Week 8

by | Oct 30, 2011 | 2011 season, NFL Gambling

I’ve been avoiding picking my bets for the week, in part because the lines have looked so unappealing to me.  But, as any good(?) gambler should, I’ll throw something out there.

Andy and I both went 2-2 last week, which isn’t so surprising I guess, when we both had the same upset of the week.  Unfortunately, 2-2 was still pretty much the highlight of our football week’s–we didn’t quite lose all of our fantasy football match-ups, but most of the bigger ones.  This week, in addition to our betting picks, we’ve got some pride on the line as well, as we go head-to-head in the one fantasy league that we both have teams in.
