New York Jets<\/strong><\/p>\nThe New York Jets have come out of nowhere to suddenly become a contender for the Super Bowl. A rookie Head Coach, a rookie Quarterback and a rookie Running Back have propelled this team to a level that most thought was years away. Make no mistake about it folks, the Jets will continue what has made them successful – running the ball.\u00a0 With a rock-steady Thomas Jones in the backfield and with the sudden emergence of rookie Shonne Greene, and his game breaking speed and size, teams can focus on the run, but cannot expect to fully contain it.\u00a0 If the Jets are close, they are going to run run run.\u00a0 The running game eats up chunks of yards and eats up chunks of time so that Peyton Manning and Company can\u2019t embarrass you, while at the same time protects Mark Sanchez from game changing mistakes. The Jets are best when Sanchez doesn\u2019t have to do much. Expect the same conservative approach this week<\/p>\n
The Jets Defense has been strong all year, but they have really stepped up in the playoffs.\u00a0 They shut down the potent San Diego Offense last week – nuff said!!!\u00a0 The Jets own the #1 pass Defense in the NFL and they can stop the run too. Darrelle Revis is a Stud and will make it tough for Manning to hit Reggie Wayne.\u00a0 The key for the Jets is going to be the pass rush.\u00a0 If Peyton Manning has the time, he will find his weapons – it is imperative to keep Manning off balance.<\/p>\n
Indianapolis Colts<\/strong><\/p>\nIndy was supposed to be here.\u00a0 It\u2019s no surprise to anyone.\u00a0 They boast arguably the best Quarterback in the NFL and have a winning pedigree that is not common in many teams. On Offense, Peyton Manning will obviously be the key.\u00a0 Afterall, the Colts have no real running game to speak of.\u00a0 If he can get some performances from his Offensive Line, Manning should be able to find one of his plethora of weapons. With Darrelle Revis guarding Reggie Wayne, expect Dallas Clark, Austin Collie and Pierre Garcon to be factors in the passing game. [soliloquy id=”82219″]\u00a0 It\u2019s pretty hard to bet against the Indianapolis Offense isn\u2019t it? Afterall, they already beat an elite Defense last week.<\/p>\n
The Indianapolis Defense is an up and down unit that has had its share of injury woes this year, especially in the secondary.\u00a0 Now healthy, they should give Jerricho Cotchery and Braylon Edwards a hard time. Dwight Freeney, Robert Mathis and the rest of the front four are strong and should pester Mark Sanchez all day.\u00a0 The key, of course, will be stopping that run! The Front Four NEEDS to dominate to take the Jets out of their comfort zone.\u00a0 If they can do that, mistakes will follow and forcing mistakes usually wins you games.<\/p>\n
Many people are calling for a close game, but the drama should end, shortly after kickoff and after the stories about the irony of the game have escaped our memory.\u00a0\u00a0 The Colts are simply a better team!!<\/p>\n
