Honestly, I'd probably go Flacco....I think NE's D is more vulnerable to giving up FF points. With Brady on the opposing side and Boldin and Smith being relatively decent WR options for Flacco (along with a TE who has been doing well), I think that game has more potential of being a shootout....even though Brady will be going against a Ravens D that is tougher than the Arizona D that he did not do much against.
And then again, Manning did well against a tough Pittsburgh D......
I would probably go Flacco, but man that is a tough one.

Thanks for the responses.
If Manning hadn't looked just flat awful last week, I don't think this would even be an issue. Manning usually feasts on blitz heavy defenses, but I just feel he isn't quite back to that guy yet.
Basically, by me starting Flacco, it means Peyton will go for 35+ points today. So take that under adisement, KcMizzou.
