Hey guys,

I'm up against one of our league's top scoring players this week, so every point counts. Who would you start between:

Giants Defense
Titans Defense

Most weeks I would go with the Giants D hands down. This week, however, I'm a bit nervious. They are playing the Cowboys in their home opener in their brand new stadium in front of 100k+ fans. Meanwhile the Titans are up against a shaky Texans team.

Who would you go with?

What's the scoring system for your defenses?

Hey Seatown,

The scoring is as follows:

Team Defense / Special Teams
0 points allowed 10
2-6 points allowed 6
7-13 points allowed 3
Blocked Punt or FG return for TD 6
Each Interception 1
Each Fumble Recovered 1
Blocked Punt, PAT or FG 1
Each Safety 2
Each Sack 1
Kickoff Return TD 6
Punt Return TD 6
Interception Return TD 6
Fumble Return TD 6

Do you get bonus points for punts off the scoreboard?

I would go with Tennessee's defense this week.

Thanks Seatown, I'm leaning towards TN this week as well. It just seems to be a safer pick.

Who would you choose between Aaron Rodgers and Tony Romo? Here's how we score passing:

TD Pass 6
Every 50 passing yards 1
50+ yard TD pass bonus 1
400+ yard passing game 5
2pt Passing Conversion 2
Interceptions Thrown -2

Again, I'm torn. Romo vs. a great Giants D...it's hard to see who comes out on top here. That being said, Rodgers is expected to put up big numbers this year and he's playing a not-so-great Bengals D.

its romo. you know hes good for at LEAST 3 pics against a competent D.

and its NY, theyll take at least one back to the house.

Your defense is probably going to be a wash. That said, I would go with Rodgers this week, simply because he's at home against a weaker team.

Thanks guys.

Yeah, start Rodgers this week.
