Who's a better start?

I'm in the playoffs now and need this win please be detailed about your answer.

I have Eli @ home vs. the Eagles or P. Rivers @ home vs. the Chiefs.

@ Running backs I have B. Westbrook, T. Baber, or M. Jones-Drew

Update:

The only reason I'm considering jones-drew in the mix is he scores td and has a decent matchup and the fact that tiki does not score but racks up yardage against a def. that's been giving up a lot of rushing yards lately is the only reason why I'm having trouble choosing. If td to yardage negates each other then it's like a 50/50

    I would start Rivers for the QB. THey want to stop LT and Rivers has been more consistant throughout the year than Manning.

    For RB I would definitately start Westbrook. It is a toss up between Barber and Drew. Drew is a back-up but he can be explosive. Being the backup he would get more goal line attempts making the TD points go up. Barber is the starter so he might gain the majority of the open field yards and maybe a few goal line attempts. Overall i would go with Jones-Drew. He has the chance of open field plays and he gets more touchdown oppurtunities in the red zone. WIth the one two punch of Taylor and Drew the Jags run game will destroy.

    Go with Rivers; he'll have better weather conditions and KC will focus on stopping LT so Rivers should have some chances to do well again.

    If you have two RB to play, got with Westbrook VS Barber. The weather conditions of that game will lead each team to run more and they'll both want to run to control the clock. Jones-Drew still havs to share with Fragile Fred too.
