We made our picks Thursday, but just getting them posted now. We broke out the Against the Spread picks into individual picks, since we would have had some differences last week.
Andy is killing me so far, especially in our Draft’em Game Picks (which we use for the ranked picks)–he went 7-1, I went 1-7 last week, putting him up $12. This week, I again got to pick game 16, he picked 15 and 14, and we alternated from there.
Last week we bored regaled you with stories of our gambling exploits from Las Vegas, so we thought we’d better provide an update:
Injury news that hits ZoneBlitz closer to the wallet came down earlier today, when Jay Glazer reported that Saints WR Marques Colston will miss 4-6 weeks after surgery to repair a ligament in his thumb. Colston has been a mainstay on ZoneBlitz rosters this year–both auction formats, and one of our free leagues feature him on their roster (the free league also featured Tom Brady as their QB–that’ll be fun).
ZoneBlitz (and I guess the Saints) aren’t the only ones hurting, though–there were several other key injuries in week 1:
Two ZoneBlitz.com fantasy teams may have been thrown a severe curve ball today, as Tom Brady’s knee injury has apparently been confirmed as a torn ACL.
On the positive side, neither team that featured Brady were in paid leagues. And both are currently winning their games for the week.
On the down side, in one league we didn’t draft a backup QB, and in the other, Matt Schaub was auto-drafted for us (way too early), but was subsequently cut for one of the rookie RB we snagged.
Thankfully, with the free internet service at McCarran International Airport, we’ve already made a transaction to shore up for next week–we grabbed Trent Edwards from Buffalo, who we actually kind of liked anyway. But he’s no Tom Brady.
As for the Patriots…well, I think those fans in Boston can stop talking about going 16-0 again. And I doubt we’ll see any more 16.5 point spreads in Vegas.
LAS VEGAS – All right, NFL season kick-off is just a couple hours away, so we figured we’d better get our picks posted.
There’s a bunch of different picks below–basically, Andy picks them, I pick them, you can see the ZoneBlitz picks that were submitted in a pick pool (along with where we ranked the games), and a ZoneBlitz pick against the spread.
