I like the Ravens to dominate the Jags. They tear up rookie qb's and they're on a mission to be seen as the best Ravens D ever, as well as getting healthy.

The packers game will be closer. Ponder will be better then mcnabb immediately. I expect a lot of bootlegs and a few QB runs and he'll show off a good arm. Good call with packers in a teaser because I do think they win but by a TD or less.

The chargers game seems one sided, but hardly so. Every time I watch the Jets I think the same thing....sanchez sucks, they can't run, they can't block, but somehow they win. They have that tenacious D fired up. As far as the Norv Turner comments, LOL @ his teams motivation, yeah right. They all hate Norv and alternate laughing at him and crying about how bad of a coach he is. Maybe 3 players get fired up to defend Norv.

Finally, the Jets Chargers game is at 1pm. This shocks me. West coast teams traveling east almost always play 4pm or night games. They are flying 3000 miles and will be warming up at 8-9am "local time" for chargers. Kickoff at 10am. To me, this spells disaster. I think the Dolphins had their backs against the walls to not go 0-5 fighting for their coach and the Jets fought through a divisional dogfight, but being the home team they will recover and beat the chargers in a close one.

Gates back helps but V Jacksons hammy is a killer. LT will be amped as will the jets o-line.

Good luck.

Like I said, I don't really respect Norv as a head coach, not sure about his players. He's a great OC but not a great head coach. All I'm saying is that whenever Fat Rex opens his mouth the other team is always listening. They all want to keep proving him wrong.

The early start is a concern but so far this season WC teams playing out East have fared pretty well.

LT will be pumped but so will his old teammates on the other side of the ball. They've already proved letting him go was the right move and they will want to drive home that fact Sunday.

And of course all the Jets money started coming in Friday, and I'm kicking myself. Definitely not one of my favorite plays of the season but one I was willing to make.
