Going back to the end of the last thread, I think the only thing holding the Jet line at 9 is the fact many still view the Jets through the same prism as the the Jets of old.
The Jets beat the Wade Phillipsless Cowboys, a team that has the talent and potentially the coaching (but not the ownership) to challenge the Eagles for tops of the NFC east. The Jags are not nearly as good.
i'll try to extend my streak of extreme wrongness in college football prognostication: florida state is vastly overrated and oklahoma will blow their doors off
I said much of the same in the last comment thread, Rob. FSU's not all the way back just yet. O-Line is shaky and WRs are average.
Marls- I feel like the Jets are getting more love than they would normally due to their playoff success and location in NYC. Jags are no good but I have a hard time laying that many points with the Jets' anemic offense.
These guys are phenomenal to see live. Go if you have the chance.

They were fantastic at JazzFest. (That's my way of adding, "yeah, I'm cool, I went to effing JazzFest").

Take the J-E-T-S and lay the points.

Oklahoma will thoroughly handle FSU. There, I said it.
ReplyDeleteDid you say it as you typed it?
ReplyDeleteWait a minute... Mark is betting against FSU, against a NYC team, and for a Florida NFL team? Get out.
