Dcat Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 (edited) Both are playing at home with outstanding matchups for this Championship game: Palmer v. Chiefs or A. Smith v. Lions Last week, against San Diego and Philly on the road, the better choice was Palmer. What about this week? Which is better? Post your link and I will answer yours.

Menstrualgravy Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Tough one. I dont think either guy has a wonderful game. Unfortunantly, both teams are horrible against the run. Alex Smith has a better chance of seeing oppurtunities. It just seems like both teams could be up big early and run run run. You know your going to see alot of Gore against Detroit. And alot of Benson against the Chiefs. I dont think the Browns even needed to throw against them last week. Detroit has been playing people closer then the Chiefs of late.

johnny22 Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I think Carson Palmer is the safer choice. Alex Smith is a high risk high reward gamble that depends a lot of the offense they decide to run that day and in the last two games alex has thrown i think around 6 picks.

millzinater55 Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 i had palmer for a few weeks and he had a couple favorable matchups like lions and browns and didnt put any numbers against either... seems like when the bengals play lesser opponents they pound the ball and dont pass much. i would go with smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST8CU Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Looking at the last 5 weeks, fantasy scoring for each has been as follows: Smith : 26.2 - 22.0 - 24.5 - 15.2 - 10.1 Palmer: 19.9 - 11.9 - 13.5 - 10.6 - 28.4 Realistically, I think their stats are going to be similar this week. If it was my decision, even in spite of his bad game last week @ PHI, I go with Smith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsr78 Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Agree w/ johnny22 as far as " Carson Palmer is the safer choice. Alex Smith is a high risk high reward gamble that depends a lot of the offense they decide to run " and that is enough for me to go Smith . . .

ABC123 Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I like Palmer here although I think in the end both QBs are going to post similar numbers. First home game after Henry's death...with a loss on the road last week...I think they are going to be playing with some emotion and playing for a big win.

I would expect pretty similar yardage situations, but I think the Bengals are going to score huge against the Chiefs and many of that will come through the air.

irish Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 (edited) I'd give Palmer the slight edge. http://forums.thehuddle.com/index.php?showtopic=312937 Edited December 26, 2009 by irish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jastrmerel Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Alex Smith. I think that CIN runs the ball all day in their game... Check mine out: http://forums.thehuddle.com/index.php?showtopic=313029 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splotchman Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 (edited) I like Alex Smith over Palmer. I think the Bengals are going to run, run, run all day with Benson and LJ.
