Both have tough defensive match-ups but I like Pennington versus Buffalo. I think he's finally getting on track. The only downside is the NYJ emphasis on the running game. However, in the Philly game I expect Jim Johnson will be very creative with the defensive looks he'll give Roethlisberger. He's had solid success defending rookie QB's and I expect it to continue.
Sorry, forgot to mention the scoring. I lose 2 points for INTs. Fairly standard FF scoring for the offense in this league. No point against the O for sacks.
And forgot to mention two things, NE was also known for good work against rooks, but I didn't think Ben played like a rook. Chad had a history of bad performance against MIA. The other thing is that I STILL won the game!

I would go with Pennington against Buffalo. Buffalo's secondary, as I understand it, is banged up. Their rush defense appears to be solid. Pennington will have to air it. Roethlisberger against Philly is a good matchup too as that could become a high-scoring affair. I'd still go with Pennington. He's a bit more "due".
Just to let you know, guys, I decided to start Big Ben based on the windy conditions in BUF. That was the one factor you didn't know about, so I think your advice was good based on all the other factors. Thanks!
