JETS: They are one of the few teams who continue to find ways to win, but this can be a drawback as much as an asset. The Jets have had to pull out 2 OT wins in three weeks and it wasn't against top tier teams either. Sanchez has been able to make critical passes when needed, but he is still prone to some bone headed throws and though the Pats are collectively a mediocre defense, they have been good at taking advantage of mistakes the last few weeks. Hopefully you had better options at QB which you already started because I don't trust Sanchez on this type of stage on the road. The Hoodie is great at developing schemes which ensure your best player is shut down, and he knows everything the Jets do runs through L.T. Look for him to be the focus of this defense and force Sanchez to beat them. Both LT and Greene make decent plays, but I think they come below expectations. The red hot Santonio Holmes is the guy you will want tonight as he has the best match up and will torch the NE secondary for a score.
PATS: The Jets are one of the best vs the run and BJE is far from an elite back. BJE may get a short yardage score, but that's only a small possibility. Revis will in all likely hood be running with Tate, leaving Branch and Welker to deal with Cromartie who is prone to giving up a few big gainers throughout the game. Welker and Branch make great starts as will Brady whom I see throwing quite often. Hernandez vs the Jets LB core will make an interesting match up to watch tonight and will be one of his tougher tests.
This is a playoff game before the playoffs and though the Jets defense is far more superior, Sanchez makes mistakes still and Brady understands the importance of ball security. I think Sanchez gets rattled early and Pats win. NE 24- NYJ 17.
FANTASY STARTS: NYJ: LT (13 for 45 yds. 1 TD/ 4 for 30 yds) Holmes (4 for 75 yds. 1 TD) Edwards (5 for 60 yds.)
PATS: Welker (6 for 80 yds. 1 TD) Branch (4 for 55 yds. 1 TD) Hernandez (4 for 45 yds. 1 TD)
SLEEPER: Woodhead NE.....With BJE being more of a typical runner who will struggle tonight, Woodhead offers the versatility to catch in space from out of the backfield which will be a highly important aspect to use vs this defense.
