Week 8 D/ST: Falcons, Chargers, or Packers?

I'm asking a week early because I want to get the jump on the waiver for my first needed bye-week pickup (Houston D/ST off that week), and I have a roster spot opening anyway.

I see my top options as:
Packers v Jac
Charges @ Cle
Falcons @ Phi

I could also go Dophins @ Jets (or Jets v Dolphins), Pats @ Rams, or even Broncos v NO if I'm feeling crazy.

Packers all the way. I would have been worried by MJD's running, but they held Foster to 29 yards and 17 carries, so they should be able to bottle up MJD, making Gabbert throw more, and we seen what that did to Houston last week.

Packers vs Jacksonville. If you need more reason, look back to the Bears vs Jacksonville. Plus, Green Bay will likely be able to get up early on them, making Gabbert throw even more than they'd like to.

I like that logic, and was where my gut told me to go, but I'm also thinking about the strong Falcons D against the Eagles turnover machine.

I do see that as well, but Blaine Gabbert has shown to be just as turnover prone as Vick when put into guaranteed passing situations. Plus, the sacks from Clay Matthews will be there as well.
