Well, according to yardage rankings, like those at ESPN, Cincy's pass defense is ranked 14th, Seattle's 13th... close. I think you should go with Bulger. Here's my take. The Rams will score on the Seahawks, but without Faulk 100% and Gordon struggling as of late, they are planning to start Canidate, a sign of throwing in the towel and wanting to evaluate. As much as Seattle gives up on the ground, I think the Rams, given their aforementioned experimentation, will kind of struggle running the ball and when it comes to poking it in the endzone, it is going to have to be through the air. As for Cincy versus the Saints, the Bengals can assure themselves the first pick of the draft with a loss this week; whereas, the Saints have every reason to play "up" this week after last week's heartbreaking loss. They can't afford to look beyond the Bengals. If these factors were not in place, the game might remain competitive as CoachH suggests. But, I see the Saints blowing them out, primarily on the legs of Deuce McAllister. I just think that New Orleans is more likely to blow out Cincy than either St. Louis or Seattle is to blow out the other, AND Deuce is more of a threat to cut into Brooks's numbers than the Rams running back committee is to cut into Bulger's. Conclusion: go with Bulger! Sorry to buck the trend here!

I'm sure he'll play, but one hit could end his day and you can't afford to take that risk.
The weather won't be that good either... high of 34 with light snow.
I would start Bulger. He has played well this year and I look for him to have a good day against a Seattle team that's 2-5 at home this season and given up an average of 29 points in their last 5 games. Good luck.
Any player is only one hit away from the sidelines. 
Cincy will keep this game close enough that NO will have to pass late in the game to win. I'm too lazy to look up these stats, but it seems like Brookes must lead the league in 4th quarter TD's. It seems like NO's D always puts them in position to have to score late to win. 8)
