Week 16 Defenses

[Fuqyu]

So, I'm looking ahead to the week 16 (TJ Who'd your mama? ...championship!) defensive matchups, and was hoping to get some insight from these boards. It's slim pickin's in my league, unfortunately. Here's a list of the available's...

Rankings Trends Tackles Turnovers TD Misc

Just FYI, the number to the right is their projected score by yahoo! sports. I also have:

Sea @ GB 6.43

Ten vs, SD 7.10

on my bench. I was hoping i could get some insight on which d I should go for....any help appreciated!

I don't know how much stock I'd put in Yahoo's projections. I'd go for NYG vs CAR and OAK vs CLE in that order. Carolina has generally been easy on opposing defenses, especially now with an inexperienced QB. See comm's weekly ranking for a good list.

Thanks for the reply...I don't trust yahoo at all, which is why I asked you guys...I just figured I'd post their ratings anyways. As far as the OAK CLE game, I was leaning towards OAK myself....I didn't think about the NYG at all and should. Any other opinions out there I may mooch from?

[Fuqyu]

bump n' love?

Definitely get NYG against CAR. The Giants haven't been a defensive powerhouse, but they're fighting for a playoff spot, and CAR has given up the 3rd most points to defenses...

Agree with the above on NYG. Would steer clear of Oakland -- Cleveland looks like they've found a running game and the Raiders' can't stop the run. Go with the G-Men.

Go with NYG and goodluck on winning your championship.

I agree with the others on the NYG....but yet there is something appealing about ATL vs. BUF as well....good luck!
