All scenarios must be looked when selecting running backs for any week in Fantasy Football. So let me lay out some facts for you.
LT - Is a must start because the Chargers are battling for home field advantage throughout the playoffs! Even if LT plays 1 half big deal, he is still LT and will surpass most RB's total points by half time anyway.
Ladell Betts - Is your second choice, for the mere fact that Strahan is absent. The Giants do not have the quickness to contain Cooley for short passes which will in turn open the door wide open for Bett's. Look for him to have 30-32 carries and move the ball up and down the battered Giants front line.
Willie Parker - Weather situations can get nasty in Natti. Not only that Parker is averaging about 65 yards away from Pittsburgh. It's not that I don't have faith in Parker, but it's the O'line itself. Then Natti blew a game they dominated last week and will be out to silence the critics. Divisional games are always a battle as well, and you drafted wisely, just as I did grabbing Parker and LT, but Betts is the better this week my friend.
Michael Turner - A backup that could out play most starting Tier I backs in the league. Obi 1 has taught you well to handcuff him with LT, but the Chargers do not have home field advantage and it's still up for grabs in the AFC.
I hope this helps and good luck with your game this week.

I would go with parker for sure, then the decision is between betts and LT
Betts will play the whole game and has put up atleast 100 rushing yards everygame he's started
If the chargers jump out to an early lead i guarentee you LT will be benched.

A nice problem to have. I would probabl;y start Betts--he's been solid for the past month, and I like home field advantage in the NFL. Of course the caveat is that Parker could have a big day--the Steelers won't quit & would love to spoil a rival's playoof hopes. Sorry--not much help, I guess. Bengals pass defense is 31st in the league, so maybe Big Ben will throw more than run. Play your gut instinct as gametime approaches.

LT will be good for one touchdown at best. Start Parker. Cinci's D has been soft.

I like both but to me Gmen is the weaker D and i like Betts quickness when he hits the pocket. Go with Betts.
