The Jets will need a strong performance from their defense to pull of an upset in Foxborough on Sunday afternoon and having all hands on deck should help in that effort.

Their chances of that look pretty good after cornerback Buster Skrine was listed as probable on Friday. Coach Todd Bowles said that he still needs to pass a final test in the concussion protocol to get a green light, but the listing is a good sign that he will pass it and be manning the slot on Sunday. Given how often the Patriots run plays to Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola out of that spot, it’s a plus for the Jets to have their top option available to face them.

Cornerback Marcus Williams is also probable to play after dealing with a hamstring injury which means the Jets should have their top four corners and both starting safeties in the lineup.

Nice season summa, great work  

You are aware that suuma has not placed a bet on the Jets side right?

I appreciate your write-up   but have a few counters. 1)  McCoy and Watkins played; 2) you are quite critical of NE's  D but a third of the points they have given up were AFTER their win probability reached 99 percent -- meaning prevent D garbage points. 3) You also say that have had a weak schedule, which is correct. But they are KILLING those teams, so its not a cheap 5-0 record. They score 40 PPG against these opponents. A weak schedule can make a team seem better than they are, but only when you squeak by them. Not the case here
