This is going into this week: AFC NEW YORK JETS (9-2) If The Playoffs Started Today: In; No. 1 seed Remaining Schedule (Projected Results): at New England (L); vs. Miami (W); at Pittsburgh (W); at Chicago (L); vs. Buffalo (W) Final Projected Record, Playoff Seeding: 12-4; No. 5 seed Extra Point: The Jets are 5-0 on the road right now, and to earn the No. 1 seed they'd likely have to go at least 2-1 through a very difficult Foxboro-Pittsburgh-Chicago gauntlet over the next four weeks (with Miami at home as well). If they get home-field advantage, you won't be able to say they didn't earn it. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (9-2) If The Playoffs Started Today: In; No. 5 seed Remaining Schedule (Projected Results): vs. N.Y. Jets (W); at Chicago (W); vs. Green Bay (L); at Buffalo (W); vs. Miami (W) Final Projected Record, Playoff Seeding: 13-3; No. 1 seed Extra Point: The path to the No. 1 seed for the Pats is simple: Take care of business in the division and split the two remaining games against the NFC North. One thing to point out: the Jets and Pats are very close in tiebreakers, and in one scenario, we had them both at 13-3 and going all the way to the strength of victory tiebreaker to determine the No. 1 seed. Bottom line: Winning on Monday doesn't guarantee the Pats anything. The only thing I don't understand is how you can give the Jets a loss at Chicago and the Pats a Win at Chicago when the Jets have been the better road team this year.

Wrong on both New York teams - to think the Giants are goind to win that divsion and go 4-1 down the stretch is laughable. After the loss to the Jets on MNF the Pats will struggle against both NFC north teams. It would not surprise me to see them struggle week 16 at Buffalo as well. I see the Pats ending up 11-5 far from the number 1 seed.
Ryan Jr. and the Browns have given the NFL (er...Jets) the formula for killing NE. SI must not have gotten the email. Happens I guess.
Everyone is failing to take that terrible Pats defense into account. You can only run so far with a defense like that. Can you imagine a team with the 32nd rated pass defense in the league as the #1 Seed? Something is very wrong with this picture. The Pats first have to face the Jets, who have already beaten them and against whome they don't match up very well. Then they have to face to two toughest defenses in the NFL, Chicago and Green Bay, who are rated #1 and 2 in the league and are only allowing an average of 15 points a game. So they are going to face the #1, #2, and #4 defenses in the league and come away winning 2 of 3 of those games? That is very wishful thinking... I think the Pats lose to the Jets, may beat Chicago, and lose to the Packers. Then they'll beat Buffalo and have a really really tough game against Miami in Week 16 because Miami always plays them tough and will want to play spoiler. I think the Pats will probably be 12-4, and the Jets will either be 12-4 or 13-3. Either way the Jets win the Division.
you keep talking nonsense about the pats D. fine, it's not that great. however, your offense is as bad as our defense. so we are even. somehow you think the jets D is a reincarnated version of the 2000 ravens D, which rex was not running. it's not - believe me. in fact, the jets defense this year is nothing special when compared to great defenses of the past. your strength, defense, is not as strong as it was at the beginning of the year. you are giving up way too many points to crummy teams like houston and detroit. while the pats offense (the team's strength) is kicking on all cylinders at the right time. honestly you are sweeping the pats offense under the rug like it means nothing. the two best offenses in the league last year went to the super bowl while the jets (one of the better defenses in the league) went home.
Didn't SI say the Jets were going to the SB last year because the writers visited that psychic in California, and she said so?
It's hilarious how little you know about football. The Jets are 10 in ppg, 2nd in rushing ypg, 18th in passing ypg, 11th in ypg. STFU
TBrady; The Jets O is better then Paste d hands down not even fing close moron. Tell me how they rank again?
yet your offense can't seem to get it done against teams that are above .500. the jests are 1-2 against good teams. what do i care about the jets offense having the ability to score against the bengals or lions?
this only thing you jets fans can put hope in - statistics. every pats fan knows its about TEAM and how you put it together in Nov/Dec/Jan. yet if you want to crown yourself preaseason super bowl champs be my guest.
you do know that we play the same teams except for two games... pats fans are jizzing themselves because brady looked amazing last week... well in case you forgot that was against the exact same lions team you use to try and discredit the jets victories... you truly are a moronic troll
ban the troll. also, i could give two dicks about power rankings, predictions or expert picks. they mean nothing
