OK, haven't asked for help all season, but am about as torn as I can be.

I've got a team with Garrard and Brees.
Played Brees each week at the beginning.
Finally went to Garrard last week.
Came out just fine.
Am about as torn as I can get this week.

My gut instinct is to play Brees against Atlanta.
And that is the way I have it set right now.
Neither defense is easy pickings against the oppositions QB, but Atlanta does give up more points.

Just don't know which Indy D will show.

Any thoughts.

Do we expect Jax to trail and for Garrard to pass a bit more to get back into it? OR... will they try and control the clock with the running game limiting scoring opportunities? Thats another interesting part to Monday Night.

I'd probably go Brees myself... BUT all things being more or less even, I usually pick the guy in the national TV game cause it gives me a reason to watch. Didn't really help to decide I guess!

You bring up an interesting point GO.

But, even though both Jax RBs are dinged up, I think the below will hold true.

Jones-Drew (thigh) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Colts.
Fred Taylor is also probable, so the duo will take aim together at a Colts' defense that has allowed an average of 105.4 rushing yards per game. The last time the Jags played Indy (Week 14 in 2006) Jones-Drew and Taylor combined for 297 rushing yards.

Based on that, I think I'll stick with Brees.

I'd take Brees here as well. I suspect he'll throw for right around 300 yards including 2 TD's.

J'ville will probably try to use of lot of rushes to keep Indy's offense off the field. Go with Brees.
