Time for predictions!

that's 31 wins in the same division already. is that possible? bills will be winless I guess

 

19-0 (filler)

 

Thank you for this.

 

Pats 10-6 - d may suck but they still have Gady and Billy Boy..div. winner

Jets 10-6 - sanchez will still have a few stinkers...wild card

Fish 8-8 - Henne and Marshall will be a nice combo and their running game is top notch...defense wont be able to stop the pass

Buttfalo 6-10 - whatever...its the Bills

 

Jets - 11-5 or 10-6. I'd love to go to 12-4, but I don't think Sanchez will have elevated his game enough for that.

Pats - 9-7. Despite Welker being back, their D is quite depleted in terms of personnel. If despite the fall off in talent they do much better than 9-7, I will have to concede Belichik will have done a great coaching job.

Fish - 8-8. Tough schedule, Parcells leaving will be disruptive, the new owner's bad karma comes home to roost, and Henne is not that great.

Bills - 5-11. Not enough good players.

AFC playoff teams - Colts, Jets, Chargers, Ravens for sure. Then I'd not rule out Denver and Houston, probably the Pats squeak in. Steelers have a very good D, but lots of turmoil on O.

Jets probably face Colts again at some point in the playoffs, when depending on the seedings. I feel good about the Jets' SB chances, but enough to predict a berth?

Too close to call.

 

10-6. We will start the season 2-3. Wins against miami and vikings. We will slip up in buffalo somehow

 

Jets 11-5
Dolphins 9-7
Patriots 9-7
Bills 3-13

 

Only if it's icy, but we'll still beat them twice.


12-4, just like in the other 4 prediction threads.

 

Jets - 11-3
Oilers - 7-7
Dolphins - 5-8-1
Patriots 4-10
Bills - 1-12-1

 

I had the same picks. :up:

 

Jets 11-5 (if Sanchez doesn't torpedo us)
Pats 10-6 (moss will bitch and moan and sit too many plays out)
Miami 7-9 (Henne implodes)
Bills (4-12) (Spiller is a lone highlight on this team)

 

1 Mon, Sep 13 vs Baltimore L - Unfortunately I feel like we will lose this one. I think Baltimore is going to take advantage of Sanchez's mistakes and we're going to have too many turnovers to win. Our D will play good, but the O will lose this game for us.
2 Sun, Sep 19 vs New England W
3 Sun, Sep 26 @ Miami L - I feel like we're going to split the series with Miami this year.
4 Sun, Oct 3 @ Buffalo W
5 Mon, Oct 11 vs Minnesota W - This will be a tough one, but I think our D is going to stick it to Favre
6 Sun, Oct 17 @ Denver W
7 BYE WEEK
8 Sun, Oct 31 vs Green Bay L
9 Sun, Nov 7 @ Detroit W
10 Sun, Nov 14 @ Cleveland W
11 Sun, Nov 21 vs Houston W
12 Thu, Nov 25 vs Cincinnati W
13 Mon, Dec 6 @ New England L - I feel like we'll split this series too.
14 Sun, Dec 12 vs Miami W
15 Sun, Dec 19 @ Pittsburgh L - Could go either way, but I think at this point Pittsburgh is going to remember how to play football.
16 Sun, Dec 26 @ Chicago W
17 Sun, Jan 2 vs Buffalo W

My prediction:
Record for 2010: 11-5

 

10-6 Wild Card

 

Jets 11-5.

In the division - we sweep the Bills and I give the Pats and Fish wins in their stadium. (4-2)

At home (7-1) I'll concede to Aaron Rodgers/Pack @ home but we should be able to win the rest: Ravens, Bengals, Vikings, and Texans. All tough-but-winnable games.

On the road (4-4) I expect to beat Cleveland/Detroit/Chicago with loses coming @ the aforementioned Fish/Pats, and Steelers/Broncos.

Jets over the Chargers in the AFC Championship.
Jets over the Pack in the Super Bowl.

 

Pats - 10-6

Jets - 10-6 - much as I like him I just have little faith in Sanchez to produce this year.

Fins - 8-8

Bills - 4-12

 

Jets 10-6.
I still worry about Sanchez' decision making.

 

Mark Sanchez will throw 47 TDs and 2 INTs - all out of the Wildcat formation.

 

I'll go with 19-0 since JWN said anything is possible :up:

 

I put 30% chance for the Jets on each of 9-7, 10-6, and 11-5, with 10% on anything else, so I'll go with the average of 10-6. As I and many others have said many times, barring major injuries Sanchez is the key to the season.
