The Jets almost beat the Saints 10-7 (i think) and they barely beat the Chargers (considering the two easy missed field goals). So that gives me hope, but Payton Manning is better and smarter that any other QB. Last week, Antonio Gates was open every play, there was no reason he didn't have 18 receptions, but the Chargers continued to mix it up. The Colts won't do that, they will throw to Dallas Clark over and over again. However, and even if Clark runs wild in the open field, I think the Colts might have problems on the goal line. The Colts also don't have to worry about a few of the Jets strengths. For example, the Colts have the best pass protection in the NFL so they won't mind the blitz. Also, the Jets do a great job again the screen, but the Colts don't really throw that way so who cares. On the other side, Reavis should take out Reggie Wayne, who is Manning's go to guy. So I need the Colts having some long good drives and a bunch of 3 and outs. I say they score 20. Now can the Jets score 21 points. They Jets have scored in the 20 about half of their games. I don't see why the Colts defense will be any different than the Chargers. The Jets will run the ball most of the time and when they pass it will be safe, simple, and quick. So I think it will come down to coaching (slight advantage Jets), special teams (Adam Vinatieri won't choke, advantage Colts), luck (Advantage anyone who Glen and I are not cheering for), and cohones (advantage Jets). Logically, I think it will be close in the 4th and the only way the Jets win will win is if they take the lead on the last play, because if they give Payton Manning 50 seconds to go the length of the field, I just, well I just threw up a little in my mouth just thinking about writing the end of that sentence. Final Score: Jets 23 Colts 20. Jets win on last second field goal. The Colts are similar to the Chargers and the Saints.
