Hell, all 3 repeats will be interesting. I just feel that getting a beat down the previous week has to remain in the head of players. The Pack flew out and spanked the Cards in AZ. Much different than doing it home like the Jets then flying into Cincy and doing it again. Wade Phillips will win his first playoff game. Damn, Demarcus ware was like 15 the last time Cowboys won a playoff game!!
I don't feel strongly enough about them to bet on them.
I have not checked the lines yet but I definitely like the Jets, #1 rushing attack and D. They can stonewall Cincy. The key is not having Sanchez throw the ball.
the Cowboys by 4 over the Eagles, and the Cardinals by 2.5 over the Pack. Also, for the record, the Patriots are favored by 4 over the Ravens, which is a little hard to understand given that Welker is out and Brady is hurt.
If you are the Bengals, you simply can not have the Jets run all over you. If you have to stack 8 guys in the box all game, than put 8 guys in the box. Make Mark Sanchez beat you. For the most part he hasnt shown an ability to consistently put the game on his shoulders and lead his team. More often than not, when Sanchez has been forced to throw he is an interception waiting to happen
Stop the run and take your chances. If Sanchez has a great game and the Jets win, so be it. But you can't get beat by the Jets potent running attack.
