I could see you calling me a homer if I predicted this against the Patriots. But it's the Jets, they're not a very good team.

I don't see how an 11 point victory is way out of sight. I remember a 4-12 team whooping a Super Bowl pick Broncos team by the score of 34-10.

look at the stats you post...even if brett favre is learning the new system he will be better than beck...you have beck 17/24 he cant even do that in practice let alone with the pressure on...no interceptions? are you reading about the same player i am???

thomas jones under 70 yards?? our run defense isn't gonna be good...

your prediction was over the top homer

Im going pick the Phins to win, but my reasoning may be different than others. I remember in September and October this team was UNBEATABLE at home under Shula and JJ (and it wasn't bad under the the Stache either).

The training camp practices that we've had in this heat will leave us in better 4th quarter shape IMO. This is a power running team with Ricky and Ronnie and if we can avoid turnovers I expect this game to be close.

My prediction: Dolphins 17 Jets 14

Th first game of the year is never a lock IMO. Teams and players are still adjusting, coaches are trying to figure what works best.

It often feels like a 5th preseason game. Take for instance the Miami/Denver game down here several years ago. We won that game 34-10 against a team that went to the AFC Championship game.

Favre will still be getting acclamated to the playbook and trying to find a rythm with his receivers. I dont see a high scoring game as I think our defense is much improved and our run game will eat up alot of clock.

We were 1-15 last season but how many of those games were close? How many injuries did we have? Wasn't the coaching horrible according to everyone?

We have a chance. It's not like Beck can't play football, and it's not like Brett has been amazing the last few years of his career on a consistant basis. It's also not like the Jets are THAT good.

His prediction could be right. I expect something along the lines of a 10-7 win.

On the draft Quentin Rollins bandwagon.

Expect a HEAVY dose of the run game. This is why I mentioned turnovers were the key. If we let Jersey B capitalize on a few, we'll have to start throwing more frequently and that could open the flood gates.

One we're assuming that John Beck wins the QB battle. I know you're at the forefront of that parade Aqua.

Leaving that topic alone...

I think we win this game. It will be close if we do. Aqua, you made a great point about the Denver Bronco win. I don't think it matters who our QB is, as long as they don't turn the ball over and convert some 3rd downs through the air. I say that because I believe our run game will be fine and our defense will be back.

Not to mention, I'll be at this game and we are undefeated when I watch a game live (3-0 if anyone cares).

I think the Dolphins will win this game 27-17.

I see Ronnie and Ricky both having a monster game, and the Jets playing turning the ball over in the red zone a couple of times.

Actually we went 9-7 that season. It was Saban's first year. Although we did beat the eventual Super Bowl Champion Patriots that season :hi5:

Now that it is Chad vs Brett?

24-13 (Jets of course).

Just like Chad knows us, our defense knows Chad. He is going to have a hard time getting anything done with the weapons he doesn't have.

That would be funny.

Either way, this is a great year to be a Jets fan. Lots of excitement, lots of hope and hey, even a few of our best know players on other teams (Chad/Vilma) to watch for.

I'm not denying that but I think you have to look at the situations. The Jets want to win now and spent big money on FA to improve their team, while the Dolphins have taken a rebuilding approach and while they did spend money in FA, it wasn't as much as the Jets.

I agree to a certain extent, but a 1-15 team is not appealing to a potential FA. Not like 4-12 is any better, but Pace chose the Jets over the Fins.
