New York Jets

Obviously, going from an abysmal 1-15 to 11-6 and AFC East Champions was quite the storybook turnaround. But, it wasn't enough, and the team still has a long way to go before it can compete with the AFC powerhouses like the Steelers and the Ravens.

           This past Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys traveled to Lincoln Financial Field to play the Philadelphia Eagles in what was a win and you’re in the playoffs game.  This game had a lot of build-up prior kick-off.  The Eagles found out, about 15 minutes before the game started, that the stars had aligned for them; the Bears and Buccaneers had both lost.  This game had everything football fans wanted.  It was the ‘Boys against the Birds, with their playoff destinies on the line.

Miami @ New York Jets:  The Miami Dolphins must win this game to capture the AFC East, because if they lose they are out of the playoffs completely.  The Dolphins have done an excellent job in putting together a competitive team in one season.  I’m not surprised though, as Parcells raided the Cowboys front office, coaching staff, and their roster, to get them in position for the playoffs!  The Jets must win as well, but that won’t guarantee anything, as they need some help (Patriots OR Ravens need to lose).  I like the Jets to win this game, but it will be close.

New York Jets @ Seattle:  (LOSS)  The Jets have been in somewhat of a slump the last few weeks.  After they beat the Titans, it seems as if they put the brakes on.  Maybe they started reading their own press clippings, and thought all they had to do was show up to win?  Not in the NFL, baby!  Favre has looked suspect during this lackluster stretch.  He has thrown many key INTs that I bet he would like back, but that’s Favre!  His greatness is what gets him in trouble at times.  They are still alive for a playoff spot, but they could have made things easier on themselves had the beat the lowly Seahawks.

New York Jets @ Seattle:  The Seahawks got a big win last week, but that was against the Rams.  This week they will play the Favre led Jets, and that, my friends, does not bode well for the ‘Hawks.  Brett should be able to pick apart the Seattle secondary, while Thomas Jones runs free all day.  The Jets need a victory to keep pace with Miami and New England.  It appears that only one of those three will qualify for the tournament.  In what could be Favre’s swan song season (it’s been that way for what seems a decade now), he won’t go down easily.

           Each week, on Friday, I will look into my (never wrong, just misinformed) crystal ball and give my predictions for that weekend’s games.  I will always prognosticate on the Eagles and Cowboys games and then pick two or more games of interest (to me, that is, not necessarily to you).  Keep in mind, that this is for entertainment purposes only, and that I do not endorse any sort of legal or illegal gambling.  That being said…let’s see what’s in my crystal ball!

New York Jets @ Tennessee:  The mighty have fallen…just as I had predicted.  Favre was tremendous in this game, but the Jets defense held the Titans in check.  It took Favre and his new buddies about a month to get used to each other, but now they are hitting on all cylinders.  With Thomas Jones and Leon Washington leading the way on the ground, Favre’s aerial attack, and the defense playing well, the Jets are the team to beat in the AFC!

I wrote the following article during the 2005 season for my campus newspaper. It is still very true today and I think most people will get a kick out of it. And just for the record, I am a Raiders fan.
