So now for my actual prediction, I'm gonna go with 27-23 Pats. The defenses will dominate for stretches but ultimately both teams move the ball pretty well and a big turnover decides it.
Jets are good in all departments - no lack of respect from most NE fans. Many of us were rooting for you in last year's playoffs, and you've added a couple more weapons since then. Pats are more of an enigma. Who are they? How can a team with so many unknowns, with so many defensive holes, who the Jets handled by 14 a couple of months ago, who lost Randy Moss, be 9-2 playing the toughest schedule in football? Well we'll see Monday just how well Belichick has drafted and coached these guys up the past 2 years. I think you're in for a shock is all I'll say.
27-21 NE The Jets will take an early lead, but penalties and a costly turnover will hurt us and the Pats will come back.
Jets defer... Get field position. Sanchez does not get first pass tipped, scores 7..... Jets get up early. Pats storm back to get close in third...close but not quite... (refs keep Patsies in game..at least one questionable but well timed Roughing the Passer call, and one or two laike PI calls) 31-21 Jets.
I'm going to say, and pray that I'm wrong, 17-13 Pats. I think bullshit officiating will hurt us, and Brady's big game cool puts them in a position to win. Again, I truly pray I'm wrong and hope to have no voice on Tuesday from all the cheering I do Monday night!
first game was over. I think. Battle of the defenses and the Jets have the better one. 17-16. Jets (two touches and a FG beat one touch and 3 FG's as the pats will have trouble in the red zone I predict) Jet outgain NE 320-280. Jets turnover free. Pats make one turnover but its at a key time of the game. Tight, hard fought game by the two best teams in the NFL. Lam
Pats scored 14 in both of their losses this year. Both losses against defenses coached by twins brothers named Ryan. 26-14 Jets.
with Jimmy out this is going to be a closer game than i first believed. Our D will need to readjust. I still think the jets will pull off the win. Jets 24 Pats 23 Nick Folk will miss a FGA!
Jets 33 Pats31..........We finally get the ground and pound going....and Shonn Greene has a monster game!
