Like this one. Think I may pull the trigger on it. Looks pretty anti consensus, and at the end of the day, Big Ben's been there before.
As for the Jets, I'm on the other side. Cannon fodder by Gang Green wouldn't be enough for me to sway my bet though. The Pats would run it up given the opportunity, in my opinion. But, if they don't have the game plan to do so, they won't.
It's funny, before the MNF game up here, RR and company kind of cranked down the chatter machine. Now, they are back to old habits.
What's even funnier is all the talking heads up here are bringing up how this is the biggest rivalry around now. This, in a city which couldn't outdo the Bronx Bombers for 86 years.
A few years later, and all of a sudden Jets/Pats is the greatest rivalry ever? Revisionist history for these homers, I guess no one remembers when your Dolphins used to beat the bleep out of the Patriots every year.
Anyways, I think the Pats win for a few reasons. They should be able to find someone over the top. Whether it's Gronkowski, or Welker, or even Hernandez, I think that's how they get quick yardage. They'll need the dink and dunk to open the run, as well as take chances deep. What they will do, is test Revis. This is not to take away, but look at Indy. You have a great player in Wayne, and you don't even look his way? Respect him, definitely, but if they see something, they'll go after it.
Also, Damien Woody placed on IR may be a key factor in this game. Wayne Hunter will get the start. Brandon Deadrick will most likely start at left end. He has been serviceable this year. Hardly pro Bowl caliber a la Ty Warren, but Deadrick has been a pleasant surprise, especially being drafted in the 7th round. What will also help Deadrick is knowing that Brandon Spikes is back from his 4 game suspension. Great talent, ten cent brain. Still, he's been very good against the run, and having him on that side will help immensely.
Good luck with your plays!
