I'm debating which Defense to play this weekend. Either the Jaguars or the Vikings. The Vikes had a huge day last Sunday (I didn't play em-doh!) and they play the Lions this week. The Jags D did pretty good, and they play the Falcons Sunday. So I'm basically trying to decide who has the weaker offense Detroit or Atlanta....I'm thinking the Vikings will have a tougher time against the Lions than the Jags will against the Falcons, so I'm inclined to play the Jags. Just curious what you experts think. Thanks!

Go with the Jags. Like 20 people have already said, the Falcons are terrible, so any D might be a good play against them.
The Vikes D isn't going to score 2 TDs this week.

Until Atlanta proves they can score more than a field goal per game, go with a defense that is playing them if that D is on your roster. Same with Cleveland and Tampa Bay.
And, what do you mean you don't know who has the weaker offense, Detroit or Atlanta? Detroit lit up the scoreboard like a pinball machine against the Raiders, who had a pretty good defense last year and not much changed coming into this year. And, Atlanta managed a lousy field goal against Minnesota.
Now, was Minnesota's performance because their defense is that good or that Atlanta's offense is that bad? And, are you willing to bet that it was the defense that was so good and play them against a team that rang up 36 points last week, and 19 in the 4th quarter alone?
Seems like a no-brainer to me ... play the Jags D against Atlanta.

The Jags. I know they had an off outing against Tennessee for such a wildly hyped defense (esp. against the run), but Atlanta is in shambles. They gave up 6 sacks and two INTs to the Vikings. I imagine the Jags can top that.
The Lions gave up 2 sacks and two INTs to the Raiders, but also scored 36 points.

Jaguars defense is a great option every week, nevermind when they play a team as bad as the Falcons. Vickless=hopeless.
Go with the Jags. Kitna will be passing all over Min.

Def. the Falcons offense is not going to put up huge numbers, however, Jax d isn't that great, so I would look for Atlanta to fair pretty well against. I am going to say Minn. will do better on the points than Jax.

go with the Jags, anyone playing the Browns or the Falcons would be a good defense to play.

Pick Jax, Vikes have to play the Lions which are very strong on the offense of side of the ball.

I agree. Joey Harrington hasn't proved to be anything. He continutes to struggle, no matter what D he is playing against. I'd definitely go with the Jags.

I reccomend vikings
A huge first week beating up on Joey Harrington. It could have its way with Jon Kitna, but it's hard to predict defensive scores. However, don't be surprise to see another pick six.
