ESPN-Jets head coach Rex Ryan is never afraid to offer his opinion and Monday was no exception. Ryan told the NY Daily news that he would be “shocked” if his team lost to the Colts on Sunday. His predictions have been accurate so far, we’ll see if he gets this one right Sunday
I guess Rex Ryan is just saying what any coach should say if asked about their teams chances. So, do the Jets really have a chance Sunday? Well, usually, I would say no. In fact, the Colts would be my lock of the week…if I were to put money on any game this week.
The irony in all of this is the Jets are only in this position because the Colts laid down for them at the end of the regular season. The Jets were in a “must win” situation facing the NFL’s best team (record wise) and league MVP. Luckily, for the Jets, the Colts had already clinched home field advantage throughout the playoffs and rested most starters and key players the majority of the game. The Colts now face the team that they allowed into the playoffs with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line.
The NFC seems to be a better match up with two very balanced teams. I am not sure who to take in this game. I’ll let you decide…
