I'll follow out on the limb of predictions/wild guesses.

City v Barca
The battle of elite attacks and wing and a prayer defending.

City 2 Barca 2



AC Milan v Atletico Madrid seems like it could be an interesting fixture regardless of their widely divergent form. AC Milan is still looking like an absolute nightmare in league play but they have the type players that could always step up.

AC Milan 1 Atletico 1
EDIT: just saw how many starters AC Milan has out for this. Changing my prediction to 1:1



Leverkusen v PSG seems like the biggest mismatch of the round of 16 on paper but PSG has looked anything but intimidating in a lot of their league matches against much more overmatched opponents.

Leverkusen 0 PSG 1



Arsenal v. Bayern Munich. . . I'm probably very biased in that I've only seen Arsenal against City, Napoli and Liverpool which is worrysome for their chances at defending Bayern's machine. Bayern does have a penchant for some odd mental melt downs when facing a bit of adversity though.

Arsenal 1 Bayern 2

Arsenal needs to get past the first 20 minutes or so without giving up a goal. The 5-1 thrashing at Anfield was an abberation. Per and Laurent have been great. No Ribery gives me a prayer at a draw. A slight prayer...
