Uh, oh. Has Schefter now turned to the Dark Side against the Pats since Kraft trashed his latest 'scoop'?

We are all Rams fans now

Te patriots are doomed. I think the Jets offense looked so bad because the Ravens have the best defense in football.They will not be this bad against the Patriots.

True....but there's no way Sanchez outscores Brady.

Jets have to get 10-14 defensive points to win this matchup.

Looks like Schefter is just trying to make a few upset picks. He's alone on four of his picks....

Sanchez was almost as bad against the Pats in the second game last year (arguably worse):

8 for 21, for 122 yards, 1 TD, 4 Ints.

The running game was better at 4 ypc, but the Pats defense also wasn't nearly as fast and athletic as it is this year.

I have no reason to believe the Jets will score more than the 14 they did a year ago.

Schefter has a few interesting picks this week.

Schefter said on WEEI is he hates picking games and has decided to go rouge this year and pick against the logic pick. He said he did well last week picking against teams that had no right losing. He said if he went with the logical pick, he would have picked the Pats.

Look at his picks and he was the only one to pick the Steelers and Lions.

Can't argue with that logic.

...and the Cardinals, too.

As a bettor, he'd get creamed. As a talking head, it's a canny move. Nobody cares if you're part of a unanimous correct pick. But if you're the ONLY guy to correctly call an upset, you get to bask in the glory.

Merril Hoge picking the Pats over the Jets? I think that's the first ever I've seen...

well if you heard the rationale of why the pats beat the bengals from him on mike and mike you would understand. he felt they had fred taylore going so it was one of the big reasons to win. and he is a sucker for teams which run the ball.

 

[Uncle Rico]

ESPN Madden sim has Jets winning 30-27.

Video Games - EA Sport Simulations - ESPN

If the Pats score 27 against the Jets and lose, this board will go nuts.

FWIW, Madden sim had Pats over Bengals, 41-28. OTOH, they were 50% last week.

I see, I thought he hated the Patriots, I remember he never picked the Pats to win in any game back in the 07 season. Well, he was right for only one time! Unfortunately...
