New York Jets vs Cincinnati Bengals Saturday, Jan. 9th @ 4:30pm EST (NBC) Paul Brown Stadium, Cincinnati, Ohio Discuss the upcoming matchup here! Who will win this clash of AFC opponents to open up the NFL playoffs?
I know the Bengals had little to play for, but they just got embarrassed today. They were trying to win. I pick the Jets.
Despite what we saw today I refuse to believe that the Jets will oust the Bengals in the first round - in a battle of screw-up franchises I gotta think the Jets will trump the Bungles.
we pretty much know what the bengals bring into this game and we know what to expect from the jets defense, o-line, and running backs. the unknown in this equation is mark sanchez. if they have figured out how to truly control the decisions he makes in their system, the jets are a better team.
I hate picking the Jets... but I'm afraid I have to here. They may have backed in with wins over backups in two straight weeks, but they just dismantled the team they're facing this week. Bungles vs. Same Old Jets? ugh... Only thing I can hope for is a Jet loss that causes their entire fanbase to completely implode.
While they did beat the Colts backups in week 16, the week 17 matchup against the Bungles was against the Starters in the first half and it was 27-0 at the break. I don't think the Bungles will be shutout again and will put up a fight, but the Jets Defense is pretty good and I think Revis shuts down Ochocinco again. Jets pull out a 4 point win.. 24-20
