Week 11 & Week 12 NFL Picks

by Tony | Nov 20, 2008 | NFL Picks

Alright, getting caught up (again)–week 11 picks are below.  After 11 weeks, things are very tight in our races.  In our ranked draft head to head match up, things are tied at 53-26 after we both went 6-2 in week 11 (the Philly/Cincy tie counted as a loss–at 15 points, that hurt us–but a lot of people had it that high, so a Philly win probably wouldn’t have put us in the money).

I closed the gap in our straight picks with a 13-2-1 week, versus Andy’s 11-4-1 week.   He still has a five game lead on me, though, at 94-51-1 to 89-56-1.

And against the spread, I tied things up with a 9-7 week, while Andy went 7-9 overall, to bring both of our totals to 67-61-2.

ZoneBlitz Picks – Getting Back on Track

by Tony | Nov 9, 2008 | NFL Picks

OK, so two weeks ago we delayed posting our picks–and finally won some money.  So last week we did it again–and didn’t fair so well.  And ended up not posting them at all–although we did have them done.

This week, we were so busy trying to make a last second trade in Fantasy Football–a trade that didn’t happen, and may have cost us a win this week (since a couple of the players being discussed killed us Thursday night)–that we forgot to make our spread picks until this morning.

So here’s a two week update:

Picks: Update & Week 7

by Tony | Oct 19, 2008 | NFL Picks

While the posting here at ZoneBlitz has admittedly slowed, we are still at least getting our picks up each week, so we’ve got that going for us.  And this week, I finally found the time to add up where we’ve been the last few weeks.

In our ranked pick ’em game, we had a brutal week last week, with our 80 dropping us 27 spots to 56th place for the season.  In our head to head draft, based on our ranked picks, I had substantially closed the gap between Andy and myself with back-to-back 6-2 weeks, before dropping a game back last week.  Going into Week 7, Andy leads by four games–32-15 to 28-19.

Straight up, we’re in a similar situation–we both finished an ugly 6-8 last week, and for the season Andy leads by five games, 56-32 to 51-37.

Against the spread–which we’ve kind of determined is stupid, since we would never bet all games anyway, is the one place where I’ve gotten the better of him–largely thanks to a 10-4 Week 5.  I lead 42-29-1 to 40-31-1.

As for Week 7:
