I'd probably rest Mixon too.

I'm with you Wyche.

I'd run Allen out there with the first team offense to get some reps as a "just in case" while keeping Burrow safe. Wouldn't be completely against letting Mixon rest up either since he has had some dings over the season this far.

Sadly, it is a no win situation. They play everyone and something happens, the board and national media is all up in arms about "why was so and so out there." They rest guys and lose, it becomes "You have to keep momentum going." Taking a chance no matter which way they play it.
