Re: New England Patriots vs. New York Jets thread
I'm not a stats guy, but my intuition is that people are focusing too much on the overall season numbers, rather than the last 4-6 games, which I think is a much more telling sign of where the teams really are at.
Of course, the Jets had an easy schedule compared to most of the league. But in the past 4 games, my subjective look at the team tells me that they are playing pretty well in all phases of the game.
I can't go so far as to predict a Jets win, but I fully expect a close game. Remember, the Jets commit very few penalties and rarely turn the ball over. Also, the Pats never seem to rout anyone. So I predict a pretty close game, but one where Brady probably makes the difference and the Pats win.
