QB Help: Palmer or Flacco?

6-pt passing TD's, otherwise standard scoring.

I have them very close (or else I wouldn't be debating). Like Palmer more going forward, only tempted by Flacco b/c of Atlanta's lack of defense and expected high score of today's game.

Other factors that may or may not matter:

1. I'm starting Forsett for the matchup as ATL's run D is truly horrible, so this could be a negative for Flacco. Baltimore may try to run from the start and/or not have to throw late.

2. I'm a pretty large favorite, so would go with the "safer" option if I thought one was over the other, but don't see a clear edge there, maybe others do.

All opinions welcome.

    Sorry Goats,
    Been looking, but can't find much. Only thing I have is that Oakland has allowed 10 passing TD's compared to Atlanta's 6.And Oakland's defensive passer rating is worse, but Atlanta is right there behind them.

    No worries, at least you responded. :)

    Going with Palmer. Slightly windy in Baltimore, which probably won't matter, but since I have them so close, what the hell.

    I'm thinking ATL hasn't given up many passing TD's b/c they're so bad vs. the run and as mentioned I have Forsett so might as well diversify for the heck of it. This is an extremely recreational family league, so no money or even especially important bragging rights involved.
