My Playoff dilemma - any input out there? (1 Viewer)

[Budgies]

First playoff round, opponent topped at 91.9 - no more players. I am at 92. I have my defense going tonight - I have the Pats and the Ravens on my bench. Any thoughts as to: 1) not playing a defense and holding on to win by .9 point, unless there is a stat change and somehow my opponent picks up a point - ouch - this happened to me already - I was up by .3, then opponent was given an extra sack and I lost by .7 (same opponent too....), or 2) playing the Pats and hoping they do not sink to a minus 1 defensive output, or, 30 playing the Ravens and hoping they do not sink to a minus 1 point total. What to do, what to do? Any input? ESPN league, 1 pt for sacks, 2 for fumble recovers/interceptions, 6 for pick 6's, 10 pts for allowing zero pts, 7 for 1-6 pts, etc., 0 for 18-21, -1 pts for allowing 22 or more. Thanks!

should be able to look around for possible score changes online today and make a decision based off of that....

I wud pull your defense if allowed, enjoy the win and celebrate surviving the bizarre week 14 of NFL season. If have to start defense I'd go ravens

I would play a defense (even though it is not against the rules to take the guaranteed win) - mainly because 1 pt of stat change and you lose and it just doesn't seem right to take the easy way out.  I think I would roll with the Ravens as well.

did you listen to these yahoos and play baltimore? did you lose? why in the world would people recommend playing baltimore on the road vs tom friggin brady?? Bloom had them ranked 29th for a reason

Would have played NE at home to field a complete team to avoid stat changes.
