1) Do you not think the Jets will be highly motivated for this game as well?
Not to the level Rex will have his players play. Red is not trying to kill his ex players, but the organization that made him a scapegoat for the Jets failures (which we know at its core was due to Idzick and his draft/trades/nonexistent offseason moves).
2) What do you think about the Jets having a better Defense than the Bills?
Won't be the case tomorrow. And that's all I care about.
3) Will Revis mark Watkins out of the game?
Absolutely not. Look at his statline last week and tell me Revis will shut that down.
4) Do you not think the line is a bit fishy at -2.5 for the Jets? Wouldn't anybody who looked at this game, seeing all of the injures, think the Bills +points would be the pick?
No. The books don't know what to do with this number. They know they have to make the Jets the favorite with the better record playing at home but it kills them to see all this Bills action that they will soon pay up for. In their heart of hearts, they'd probably like to have the bills as a -2/-2.5 or favorite to control the action. But sometimes they simply won't come off certain numbers like 3 and won't cross through 0 under any circumstances. It's gonna cost em tonight.
5) Could you attribute the Jets loss to the Raiders as a Patriots hangover? The Jets should have beaten the Patriots and then they suddenly forgot how to tackle? What about looking ahead to this matchup and underperforming Sunday?
No. Because the Jets win at the Jags was quite woeful and that was after the Raiders game where, if you believe Oakland was a letdown, they should have recovered with a 'gimmee' game. They should have beat them handily and tried to gift-wrap it to Jax. Jets were never looking ahead to Rex. They loved Rex and in all honesty the majority of them did not want to see him go.
Thanks for replying, and some very good points made. I already took the Bills earlier, but I reel a lot more reassured now. BOL
