You should glance at mine if you want to compete. I have a strong feeling about my picks. Also, I know it looks bad when I posted my picks after the fact for week 15. I wrote down our opposite picks and copied the others. I'm make sure to post my picks by Thursday for week 16. I thought you told me to post the college picks online.

Anyway, nice job, although to be honest I don't remember your picks exactly, and you posted these after the fact, but I guess you deserve the benefit of the doubt. And why are you revealing your college pool picks??! I'm purposefully not looking at your list until I'm finished with mine. B.

That said, it's certainly an important difference, so I do like them less. Wouldn't make it best bet, that's for sure. RotoFever – Ya I try not to let .5 points sway me, so yes still Dallas.

That's tough. Colston was actually closer to having a big game last week than the final numbers showed. But it could be rough conditions tonight, and I expect KC/SD to be a shootout. I'd personally go with Bowe, but it's close enough I'd recommend going with your own gut. Better to lose b/c of yourself than someone else. db – Hmm. That’s tough.

I don't feel confident going against the Giants, who have been the NFL's best team this season. But with no Plaxico or Jacobs, and possibly no Hixon, this offense is easier to defend. Dallas' pass rush is underrated. Romo will have a huge game this week. That said, maybe just avoiding this game as your "best bet" is the way to go. RotoFever – I hear you.

I know it doesn't belong here, but I have to decide on Colston for tonight for the playoffs... Roll the dice on Colston (he's been up and down) or take the safe play in Bowe vs. SD. My opponent is my sworn hated enemy in our league and he's got some killer matchups (DeAngelo, MJD) so I'm slightly leaning towards going for the home run with Colston... yes, there has been plenty of trash talk going back and forth so I need to back my talk up and take this loser down... so, rankings question, sorry… I know it doesn’t belong here, but I have to decide on Colston for tonight for the playoffs…

Initially leaned Giants as my best bet. Reasons: 1. Coughlin isn't the type of coach to let his team ease up and I can't see the Giants liking the idea of not taking this game seriously against a hated division rival on national tv with home field still up for grabs. 2. Romo sucks in December. Is it the pressure or is it the weather? If its the weather, it helps that this game is in Dallas (62 degrees). Or does it? Those are 21 mph winds. Not so sure that Dallas will be able to take advantage of the Giants secondary. Then again, might not be an issue since the Giants pass rush might not give Romo much time. I could definitely see this falling to Dallas but I'm not confident either way with Jacobs and Barber questionable. Too much going on here. Having trouble with Giants/Dallas.
