The Jets seemed to dominate the Vikings for the first 3 quarters, stifling Adrian Peterson and making Brett Favre look old and lost. The offense of the Jets couldn’t punch it in the end zone and over and over had to settle for Nick Folk field goals, 5 times. But you knew you couldn’t hold Favre down, and he led a frantic comeback connecting with his 500th career touchdown to newly acquired Randy Moss and then twice to Percy Harvin making it an edge of your seat game. But Mark Sanchez, LT, Shonn Greene and the Jets defense were able to pull this game out with help from a sweet kickoff return from secret weapon Brad Smith.

The Vikings are screwed at 1-3, and now face a matchup with another 1-3 team who were equally hyped as Superbowl favorites, the Dallas Cowboys.
The Jets, on the other hand, go to 4-1, take over the outright lead in the AFC East and have shown the world on a national stage during Monday Night Football that they have weapons on offense, defense and special teams.

Oh, and they have a fantastic coaching staff.

FYI, Mark Sanchez has 8 touchdowns on the year and 0 interceptions. Error free football has led to a huge turnover differential for the Jets which has surely contributed to putting them in the envious position of reeling off 4 consecutive victories. Sanchez was plenty aggressive tonight, firing the ball down field on many occasions showing that he has a relatively powerful young arm.

This was a great win for what appears to be a great team playing in front of a great fan base inside a great stadium.

Football Jets would like to make some fearless predictions that hopefully won’t be so wrong I will still have some credibility left after the season.

In the AFC, the Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots, San Diego Chargers and the Indianapolis Colts appear to be the teams on top of their respective divisions come playoff time. For the wild card, the New York Jets will join the Tennessee Titans.

In the NFC, the New York Giants, Minnesota Vikings, Arizona Cardinals, and the New Orleans Saints are my season predictions for winning their respective divisions. Joining them in the playoffs I predict will be wild card teams the Philadelphia Eagles and the Chicago Bears.

That leaves out some serious contenders like the Seattle Seahawks, Dallas Cowboys, Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Green Bay Packers, Houston Texans, Baltimore Ravens and the Miami Dolphins.

Playoff predictions are tough, but lets go with the San Diego Chargers upsetting the Pittsburgh Steelers after beating the New England Patriots and the New York Jets rolling over the Indianapolis Colts after beating the Tennessee Titans. The New York Jets would have to win another difficult road game in San Diego, but beating the Chargers in the playoffs is something the Jets have done before.

In the NFC, the New York Giants take out the Arizona Cardinals before losing to the Minnesota Vikings. The New Orleans Saints offense takes out the Chicago Bears defense and then shocks the world with a win in Philadelphia. The Vikings prove to strong for the Saints on both sides of the ball and advance to the Superbowl.

Minnesota Vikings verse the New York Jets. In an amazing year for rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez, the New York Jets somehow pull out a victory over Brett Favre and company in one of the greatest Superbowls in history.
