Who to start

[slackers]

I need some help, Who should I start in my money league?
I'm leaning towards Big Ben but every time I start him he sucks. I said I was going to start the PEN the rest of the way. but after last weeks performance's I'm starting to second guessing my self... What do you guys think.

Big Ben vs New England

or

T Thigpen vs Oakland

3pt TD and 1pt every 25 yards

I'd go with Big Ben.

It's still a big game for both teams, Blitzburgh needs to keep winning for a first round bye. And the Pats secondary isn't as good as it once was.

Pigpen is facing a much better secondary.

That's a tough choice.

Cassell won't be passing for 400 yds against Pitt, so more than likely, Ben won't have to shoot it out. I think Tomlin has finally figured out to have Ben manage the game instead of having him try to win the game by himself, so he will do well, but not great.

Thigpen is still lighting it up, and is still a by-product of that shitty KC D. OAK dropped 31 pts on DEN last week, and now, McFadden is getting healthy. I don't know how well Russell will manage the game, but I wouldn't expect OAK to get close to 30 pts again, even though it is very possible against the KC D. The only chance KC has to win the game is to establish the run, which is easy to do against OAK. If they can do that, then there is no need for Thigpen to try his luck against Asomugha. I would expect this game to be a running battle, w/ both QBs going to managing mode.

Given the fact that there is a better chance for the Pitt/NE game to be higher scoring, I would start Ben, but expect both QBs to get similar stats.

NE has one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL especially in the redzone and they are tough against the run. If Pittsburg is going to move the ball its going to be through the air.

Thigpen will have a tough time against Oakland and Da Raidaz is awful against the run. I see LJ having a huge day.

Start Big Ben with no regrets, sit back, have a beer and smile.

P.S. Thanks to all who recommended Chris Johnson on Turkey Day. I started him and was so glad I did after only one half of the first quarter. Thank gang!

Agreed on Ben, he's been a loser most of the season, however I see him throwing for 250 yards and (2) TD's tomorrow. IMO he will out perform Thigpen....
