Seattle vs. NYG
or
New England vs. Den
I've gone with seattle the first two weeks but with them playing the Giants this week I'm not sure. The snake has played like garbage his first two games and I'm thinking it'll be best to play New Englands D.
:unsure:
New England. They'll be all over Plummer all day.

I'd go with NE. Plummer is struggling, and I don't see him turning it around this week. Eli will put up numbers, no matter who he plays.

I'm going to go against the grain here and say seattle, mostly a gut feeling, but if you want reasoning with the disaster the giants had last year in seattle, the fans are going to be screaming twice as loud again to try to disrupt there offense. Seattle will have branch playing this week and will help take a little pressure off putting 8 guys in the box to stop alexander.
Regardless of how good jp has looked this season, I don't think buffalos offense is all that good and they still gave the pats trouble, same with the jets, NE started out good against them and then just started to fall apart after that rediculous TD catch. Denver hasn't done anything yet, but I think they are a sleeping giant so to speak, and could have a break out week, a way better offense than they have shown so far, they are going to get there rushing yards and plummer can make plays happen.

I've been weighing whether to pick up one of the FA defenses in my league instead of playing Seattle this week, but after looking at the numbers, it's pretty clear that Seattle's defense is very strong. The Giants will put up points (I'm still playing Burress in both my leagues) but there's good potential for turnovers as Seattle is good against the run and this seems like as good a week as any for the Seattle offense to start clicking (though not because of Branch).

This is a good one.
My first thought was go with anyone who plays against Denver, they've had trouble putting up points. Only 10 vs StL and 9 in OT vs KC.
But also Seattle does have the turnover potential going for them. It could very well be a stalemate for the first three quarters with lots of turnovers and 3 and outs. Which could be good because it'll be a low scoring game with turnovers. Or it could be a shoot out. :pullhair:
