Pretty even matchup. I'd lean slightly to McCoy. I've seen him get some goal line carries and a short rushing score or two. Jones has historically struggled around the goal line. I think the Seahawks/Jags game could be a shootout, but I think the Eagles bomb the Bucs. Especially if they try and protect McNabbs ribs, they will run a lot. Bucs got gashed by the Jacobs/Bradshaw combo,(plenty carries for two backs!) let Marion Barner have 79 yards (5.6 per carry) and a TD. Fred Jackson exploded for 163 yards rushing and even old man Clinton Portis squeezed out 98 yards on two iffy ankles.
In a close one I'd start McCoy.
Thanks for your help on mine!!
