Answer 1

odds are good but i think they will beat the patriots...come on man New Yorks got their number now

Answer 2

Wow, that's a fairly weak schedule not counting the few NE/SD games.  The Jets could easily lose in Seattle and to Cincy & Denver.   A lot of those other teams could play better than we think right now.  I'd be surprised to see them go 13-3.  

Giants/Jets SuperBowl, Favre throws game-losing interception to Corey Webster to end the season 2 years in a row...

Now that would be priceless.

Answer 3

Not very good...

Yes the Jets have improved their offense, but they really need help on their defense too - what have they done this offseason to improve on that side? They got rid of Dewayne Robertson, which is a good idea, and they replaced him with Kris Jenkins, which is an even better idea, but I don't know about him as a true NT, and the surrounding talent in Carolina may have made him seem a little better than he actually is. They got rid of Vilma, who no longer fit in their scheme, which I suppose was okay, but they didn't get enough back for him. I think Gholston will be a bust, and from what I've heard about their training camps, he hasn't proven me wrong yet.

Their secondary is in bad enough shape that Ahmad Carroll is going to make the roster, and Kerry Rhodes is the only one I would fully trust to make plays.

Their linebackers don't impress/scare me, and neither do their ends.

If theres anything that's been proved time and time again in the NFL, it's that defenses need to be consistent in order to breed championships. Even with the Rams, and other successful offensive-based teams, their defense was opportunistic - aka got a ton of turnovers. I can't see the Jets doing that.

They're helped out a bunch by a weak schedule, and they're now wildcard contenders, but in your analysis, you gave them the nod in ever "heads or tails" game they have, even giving them a win over Seattle (at home, where Hasselbeck is nearly unbeatable.... 8-1 last year (including playoffs), and 24-4 over the past 3 seasons) and over the Titans, who have one of the nastiest D's in the NFL.

Absolute best case scenario, they go 11-5, but even that is far fetched. Even with Favre at the helm, on paper, they're not much/any better than Cincy, Arizona, STL, and Denver. Plus inter-divisional games are always somewhat of a toss up - I don't think they'll sweep both the Bills and the Dolphins. Perhaps going 3-1 against them would happen, but they aren't talented enough to go 4-0.  

Realistically, I see them at 9-7 or 8-8, fighting for a wildcard spot.

Answer 4

I think even the Cardinals will stomp all over the Jets.
