Denver will beat NE, not just the spread as will the Seahawks (but don't tell tomtom)...
True. I seem to register my picks first each week which gives you and Shorty (and Tom) an advantage, ie, the option of steering around them to avoid duplication.

As for Caroline, hmm... the Texans Defense has been good to me this season... ok, swap the Bucs + 6.5 for Carolina.

they're correct or incorrect or if they tie. You agree with Shorty on new player policy?

Shorty votes "NO". Mine is "YES". Your votes decides. Best of luck to all in Week #15 which begins tonight.
