Here's how it works. We throw some intriguing matchups at the FanHouse staff and ask whether each player will be over or under a certain point total. The result? Fantasy Football Over/Under. Makes sense, right?So, you've got arguably the biggest game of your season upcoming. And you're losing sleep at night debating who to start and who to sit. Your buddy tells you one thing and some guy in your office tells you another. Can't decide if you should roll with Tom Brady or keep playing the hot hand in Joe Flacco? Ah, the frustration. Cheer up buckaroo, we're here to help you with these last-minute dilemmas that we all face. Let us be your compass as we debate.

• Obviously, we are all very, very high on Peyton Manning. Is there any reason not to be? However, we also hit the consensus vote that Tom Brady would finally snap out of it and Matt Schaub will continue to pour it on. As for Mark Sanchez, we all feel like a return trip to Earth is his destiny.
• The marks are all stars for Chris Johnson this weekend, while we remained split on Steven Jackson.
• It looks as though not many have high hopes for Steve Slaton this year. Look, if he can't deliver this week ... let's all throw in the towel. Ouch. Yes, I'm a proud or depressed Slaton owner.
• Not surprising that none of us believe in Roy Williams.
