Joe Namath won’t quite say so; so we’ll do it for him.
The Jets are going to shock the world and beat the Colts in the AFC Championship game Sunday.
It won’t quite have the impact as when Namath and the New York Jets surprised the NFL world by beating the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III, 16-7 … but it will be close.
The Indianapolis Colts will know how their Baltimore predecessors felt after the Jets come in and turn the football world upside-down again this weekend.
Hey, it won’t be news to Jets coach Rex Ryan. He’s been predicting a Super Bowl victory/parade for the past couple of weeks.
If anybody can stop Indy’s potent offense, it’s the Jets.
As the San Diego Chargers discovered last week, you basically can’t/don’t throw to the side where Jets’ CB Darrelle Revis is in coverage. That leaves one side to throw to … and Peyton Manning will find that very disruptive this week.
Oh, sure, people will recall how the Colts were beating the Jets before Manning and his mates were pulled four weeks ago (and saw their undefeated season go up in smoke.) But the Colts were only winning by five points in the third quarter at the time.
Ask the Chargers. The more they let the Jets stay close last Sunday; the more New York had a chance to win.
The Jets rely heavily on three “rookies:” head coach Ryan, QB Mark Sanchez and RB Shonn Greene.
Can they stun the NFL again this week? We say “yes.”
Predictions:
Jets 16, Colts 14
Saints 27, Vikings 23
