Personally I like Barber. Giants have an equally tough D to the Vikes, but I just think Barber is the better back of the two. But I guess, it also comes down to how many carries mr.Jones will be getting. Last week barber got 14 to jones 6, and averaged 5.6 a carry. I like the ratio but he will need more carries overall.

i would go with kevin smith, even though he might not get a lot of carries, he still gets receptions which means he can score a td in the air or on the ground n barber splits with felix so i would go with kevin smith

tough choice but I'd go with Barber as well,he's the definite goalline/between the tackles back in Big D and while I do like Smith I don't like the rest of his team(megatron being the exception of course)

Living in Detroit and being forced to watch the Lions as my 1pm football choicer I get a chance to see how bad the Lions are, and yes they are that bad. They will find themselves down early and by multiple scores. This will firce Detroit to go to the air (which they can't) and abandon the run. I would play Barber here and be happy that you dont have to watch Smith. Good thing the game is blacked out and Ill be able to watch the nation game this week. Thats the one good thing about the poor economy in Detroit. More blackouts= better games on 7 Sundays (Thanksgiving always sells out)

a little help needed here

I live here too, and are you sure we will get a game at one? AND its starting to look like it might not be blacked out, they just got the extension and only have 1500 or whatever to sell by one tomorrow i think it is.

Oh and yeah its not even close. Play Barber. Smith is probably the better RB, but first they will be losing by a ton early, and second they are playing that Minn D. Those two things added together = Barber IMO.

Fine crush my dreams, and I do think that we will have a 1 pm game here because they dont have a game schedule on the other cahnnel I think The NO vs Philla is the National Game.
