Won't be around tomorrow to post in this thread, but unless disaster strikes (like, in the form of 6 Patriot turnovers, or Bernard Pollard running in from the stands on the opening play to take out Brady's other knee) I don't see the Pats losing this one. As I said elsewhere, it would take a perfect game from the Jets: ball control in a running game that controls the TOP and keeps Brady off the field; a defense that gets off the field on third down while managing to defend both the spread offense and the TEs down the seams (and I don't think the Jets have the DB depth to handle it); a QB who doesn't shit his pants but instead plays spectacularly (and I don't think the Jets have the QB to handle it); a coach who can outcoach Belichick (and I don't think the Jets have the coach who can handle it); a defense that can pressure Brady (and the Jets have had little pass rush all season). CAN the Jets do it? Sure. But the odds are very low.
