These games are absolutely crazy, everything is a fight to the death with a lot of games being decided in the last minute with more overtime games than I can remember in recent history as well. The Colts beat GB then GB lays 42 on Houston, the supposed best defense in the NFL the following week; who by the way, the "terrible" Jets almost (should have) beat(en) last week. Then those same "terrible" Jets lay a whooping on those Colts allowing only 3 measly FG's, making Andrew Luck look every bit like the rookie he is, while vaulting those same "terrible" Jets into first place in the AFCE, this by the way after all of the NFL pundits gave us little chance to win yesterday. Arizona wins in the fatherland of football, but loses at home to a crappy Buffalo team who those same "terrible" Jets laid 48 points on in week 1. If we can get healthy and stop losing player after player to injury, who knows? In the AFC, anyone can beat anyone; there is no dominant team. Is Houston dominant? They did not look it last week or yesterday, in fact, the Jets should have won that game last week. NE? Baltimore? Pittsburgh? Denver with Peyton Manning does not scare me nor does SD because I think Phillip Rivers stinks. So if we can win our share and somehow get into the tournament, let alone heaven forbid play a playoff game at home, well, you just never know.

Now, we are 11 point underdogs as we prepared to go visit the greatest team in the history of professional sports in the fatherland of football, who by the way in case nobody noticed (Phil Simms and Jim Nancy the 2 biggest NE shills I know), are a very average 3-3 this season tied at the top with our "terrible" Jets after they came back to lose in Seattle yesterday. That was a delicious ending to a delicious game! I despise the Pats and wish nothing but losses on them. What would happen if our "terrible" Jets went up there and actually won that game next Sunday? That would be, well just "terrible" wouldn't it?

That's a really sobering thought.

Considering also that Craig Carton had a "Public Service Announcement" basically telling everyone to bet on the Pats with the spread(will it remain 11.5?), I wonder if he'll bother showing up to work next monday if the Jets shock the Patriots.
