The Jets will be pitting their #1 running game against San Deigo's #20 running defense...

I think this game will come down to clock management and defense. The Jets defense has played well against other great passing games throughout the season, think Drew Breese, Brady, and Peyton, so I don't forsee them getting murdered during this game. With that said if this becomes a shootout, the Jets will lose. If the Jets can control the tempo of the game and keep the Bolts defense on the field for long drives and keep the Bolts offense going 3 and out they will be able to stay in it.

I don't foresee Jackson being that much of a threat, and I'm more worried about Gates being used against the Jets like a Wes Welker type player. I foresee Rivers trying to hit him in the middle of the field on crosses and such.

I'm not worried about the Bolts run game and don't think it will be much of a threat since it hasn't been all year. I'm worried about how our defense will adjust to this game. I think if they leave Revis on Jackson and box Gates they will be okay. I don't see rushing Rivers and a winning tactic since he plays very well under pressure and can pick apart secondaries when your rushing 7 men.

I'm hoping Sanchez can have another game like he did last week and I think he'll have a better chance getting people open in the backfield with the Bolts stacking 8 and 9 in the box. I think the o-line will have it's biggest challenge cover players coming in from the outside and will definitely show whether Sanchez is poised in the pocket or still playing like a rookie.

Overall I think this will be a great match-up. I think this game will come down to the wire. In my opinion clock management, field position, penalties, and simple mistakes will decide this game more than raw talent.

Can't wait for Sun!!!
