Fantasy Football: Clinton Portis or Brandon Jacobs?

I would go with Jacobs for a couple of reasons. The Giants wont need to go to the air alot, especially after half time when they have a big lead. It isnt Coughlins nature to blow teams out so they will keep the clock running while battering a demoralized Rams defense. The opposite may be true for the Redskins.They may have to put the ball in the air more than they prefer to keep up with the high scoring Saints. If they get an early lead then they can grind out the game but if they fall behind Portis wont get as many carries. Jacobs is a lock for 25 carries (which could mean 125 or so yards and a TD or 2). It is a great problem to have with 3 very good backs but the matchup favors Jacobs having more potential to score fantasy points this week.
