First of all, I certainly couldn't argue with your picks

I can't pick top to bottom, so I'll just pic the winners since they're the only ones going thru anyway.

Real Madrid
Man Utd
Atlético Madrid
Juventus
Barcelona
Bayern Munich
Chelsea
Valencia

Group D looks tough.

Depending on how their season is going -- PSG, Man City, and Arsenal could pull off upsets.

Have to say Barca is odds on favorite to win it all again with Real Madrid a close second.

As for next year, if Man Utd gets Neymar that could be an interesting run.
