A Win and We're In!
Base10's beloved Jets defeated the Miami Dolphins last night in a tough game in the rain. Final score: 13-10. Is this great, or what? As I wrote yesterday, the Jets control their own destiny. If they beat Oakland (2-13) next week, they are in. The early line has the Jets laying 12.5 to 13. If the playoffs started today, we'd be playing the Colts on Wildcard Weekend. As it stands, if we get into the playoffs, we'll probably play either the Colts or the Pats. I prefer the Colts, I'd rather not deal with the Pats again.

UPDATE: Base10 was perusing the NY Post for Jets stories, but most of the colmnists were discussing how much the Giants sucked rather than talking about the Jets win. Granted that it was a Monday night game with a late ending, but still, where is the love? It occured to me that next week's game creates a lot of pressure. What if you lose to the worst team in football? That could be the biggest collapse in sports since the Yankees lost to the 'Sox in the ALCS. Then again if you lose to Oakland with a playoff game on the line, you have no business in the post-season anyway.
