New York Jets (-1)* at Tennessee Titans
It seems as if every single week contains the same comment about the New York Jets: they can’t lose every game, can they? Even when they had the opportunity to knock off the Vikings – no powerhouse, in their own right – in Minnesota, they allowed an 87-yard catch-and-run to beat them in overtime. After a while, rational thinking has to re-enter the equation and remind us that the Jets are, after all, a 2-11 football team.
Then again, so are the Titans.
As bad as the situation looks in New York, it might be even worse in Tennessee. Losers of seven consecutive games – including last week’s drubbing at the hands of the visiting Giants – the Titans will likely view this game with the same level of confidence as the Jets. After all, both teams are abysmal, and someone has to win.
That ‘someone’ is the Jets. Tennessee’s losing streak has far surpassed ‘dangerous rebound territory,’ but the Jets have now dropped three-in-a-row, themselves. Despite every statistic stating otherwise, the players have not yet quit on this team or its head coach. With New England and Miami on the slate, Rex Ryan’s last chance for one final win might come Sunday afternoon in Tennessee.
New York does not let this one slip away. The Jets win by ten and cover.
