After a very entertaining week 1 of the NFL, fans like myself just can’t wait to get another set of games in. And what a set of games they will be. Just loo
king at the schedule we can see a very large number of games that could go either way, regardless of whether it’s may be a playoff preview or a battle of the worst. Without further ado, let’s look at some of the matchups.
New England Patriots at New York Jets
This is what we know. The Patriots barely squeaked out a win against the average Buffalo Bills and the Jets (especially Mark Sanchez) impressed against a favored Texans team in Houston. But to me this matchup is a no-contest. If you looked closer at the Bills game, the Pats all but dominated in every category except points, indicating the match was somewhat of an anomaly, or a warmup, you could say. And while Sanchez was good against the Texans, he made a number of rookie mistakes that weren’t capitalized on by the Houston defense. Prediction: New England.
