The New York Jets were written off by many a year ago, but the team had a strong season with some big wins, finishing the year at .500. This season, the team looks to better that mark, and they spent some money in free agency to help achieve that goal.
The Jets and Ravens will meet for the second time this season on Sunday, when the pair go head-to-head at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore in a battle for the second wild-card slot in the AFC.
The New York Jets will make the trip out to Orchard Park on Sunday to take on a reeling Buffalo Bills squad. With Miami stuck in a rut, the second spot in the AFC East is the Jets’ for the taking, and the team will need to begin stringing wins together if they hope to make it to the playoffs.
The New York Jets and New England Patriots have developed quite an intense rivalry in recent years, and the latest battle will take place on Sunday with the Patriots installed as four-point favorites.
No one needed a bye week as badly as the 0-4 Pittsburgh Steelers. Head coach Mike Tomlin will surely have his troops ready to play some better football, but they might be running into a buzzsaw in the form of a New York Jets team coming off a big win on Monday night, or the Jets could be in for a letdown.
After enduring Tebow-mania last year, it didn’t seem like the New York Jets’ quarterback situation could get any crazier, but the competition between Mark Sanchez and Geno Smith has taken on a life of its own, and the Jets appear destined for another season mired in a quarterback controversy.
If there ever was a NFL team that could be easily confused with a travelling circus it would be the New York Jets. Rex Ryan made his mark by leading this team to back-to-back AFC Championship Games in his first two seasons as head coach, but since then he has taken the Jets in the wrong direction with an 8-8 record in 2011 and a 6-10 mark in his fourth season at the helm.
Jets were eliminated last week in comical fashion while the Chargers haven’t been relevant for a while now. Both coaches are fighting to save their jobs so there could be some extra creativity in this contest.
Is anyone going to score in this one. This game features two of the worst offensive teams in the league, one with nothing to play for, the other with little to play for. Exciting Stuff.

New York Jets
The Jets win last week, 7-6 against Arizona, had to be one of the ugliest games you will see all season long. The good news for New York fans is that the Jets have won two of their last three, the bad news is that they are embroiled in an expected QB controversy.
I believe Mark Sanchez is still technically the starter but for how much longer…The sad thing is that he still probably gives this team the best chance to win. It might be interesting to see them give local hero Tim Tebow the start this week though.

Odds are he would have some success as there is no way Jacksonville would have a lot installed for his type play.
The Jets defense should be able to handle whatever Jacksonville throws at them…At 6-6 ATS the Jets are a miserable team to try and predict and there is no pattern in their behaviour really when it comes to home, road, favourite or underdog.
This team is just plain mediocre though that should be good enough this weekend.
Jacksonville
The Jags couldn’t keep up their winning ways last week losing without putting up much of a fight against Buffalo on the road. [soliloquy id=”82219″]
This roster is light on talent and has been made even thinner thanks to numerous injuries.
Even though they are playing New York it is surprising they are getting as much respect as they are – just a 3 point dog…T
he Jags have shown a little bit of life with QB Chad Henne at the helm and the coaching staff is already saying he could be the starter next season depending on how things turn out. Top rusher Maurice Jones Drew might have been able to find some room now that the passing game is more competent but he is still sidelined and might not play again this season…
When they are large dogs the Jags have risen to the occasion but in scenarios like these they have been just as likely to roll over as not.
Even at home you have to be careful picking a team like Jacksonville because they just don’t put many points on the board.
At -3, no way but it if creep higher, against the Jets…
Maybe.
Spread Pick: New York -3
O/U Pick: Over
Score Prediction: New York 24 – Jacksonville 20
What preseason? While testing levels of ineptitude last month the Jets soared last week against Buffalo. We all thought this team couldn’t be that bad but can they really be this good either.
