I think I need to bank on RG3 NOT being confirmed before tomorrow night and having him go another direction. Not that Cleveland can't upset....I just think he goes Wash if RG3 is in.
even if RG3 is in, I don't think Wash is that big a favorite over Cle. I would steer clear of that game either way. Miami is definitely much more favored over Jax. I think Jax probably playing for #1 overall too.

Week 16...he will take Chicago @ Arizona for sure. My options are Carolina vs Oakland or Indy @ KC, two that I feel very comfortable with.

Week 17 is where the issue is. There are very few good games to pick from. The best that I can see right now would be Tennessee over the Jags. Other options for me would be Washington over Dallas or San Diego over Oakland...but seeing as all of the games are divisional and we are so close to just splitting anyway, Im not sure I want to take any chances.
He has a huge advantage in week 16. I'm in the same boat as you. Likely Indy or Car in week 16, and I don't feel that great about either of them. I have Pit or NYG in week 17 though, so feel OK about that.

How much is the prize pool? If it's a significant amount I'd consider splitting. Perhaps I'd also try to make a deal whereby it comes into effect after this week. But he may notice he has an advantage in week 16, 17 and say no.

My pool is down to 4. I wouldn't chop it 4-ways right now. But I'd consider chopping if down to 3, and definitely at 2.

Quite sure I'm going Miami this week. Hope the others don't.
