Optimistic, but possible.

They have a good defense. Solid RB in Jones and arguably better receivers than GB.

Better than Driver and Jennings? Really? I'll be honest, I've never paid much attention to the Jets, I don't know much about their players. I did see they have some decent linemen, so that should help Favre avoid the madden curse and get horribly injured.

I think they'll maybe go 8-8... I know they spent a lot of cash and have supposedly gotten better, but they say that every year. And that division as a whole doesn't figure to be as weak as last year: Pats will be the Pats; Bills are on the rise, coming off a decent season; Dolphins can't possibly be as bad as they were last year; and the Jets have some linemen and Favre now.

But hey, you ain't the only one drinking the Favre Kool-Aid: on 1st and 10 Skip Bayliss predicted that they'll (Jets) go 12-4 and win their division. It should make for interesting viewing, whatever the outcome.

The New O-Line is the key. They've got protection. Thomas Jones will have a much better year.

I have them @ 8-8. Which means they could go anywhere from 10-6 to 6-10.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

They'll win at Oakland. They could win @ Seattle, Brett always does well against them.

Oh and they can beat Denver too.

I didn't pick them to beat Oakland because Brett's going to throw a couple of picks to Nmabi Asamoah [sic] who is awesome. I picked them to win if I gave them a better than 55% chance at winning.

Well, excuuuse me. I made a mistake; it happens from time to time. I know the difference, I just wasn't paying attention to what I wrote. We can't all be perfect...

I'll edit so you don't get confused

7-9 is my prediction...but honestly I'm just glad he's not a Buccaneer

So last night I was walking downtown for some pizza at like 1am with some friends of mine,
and someone said, "I'm so hungry I could eat a whole pizza."

I said, "I bet I could eat 100 pizzas," and no one understood me. I was sad.
