Football Picks

The 4-1 Jets travel across the border to invade Foxboro and take on the 5-0 Patriots on Sunday and I could not be more excited.

Gone are the bombastic ways of Rex Ryan and in his stead, the Jets are led by Todd Bowles who is Ryan's equal in defense but his opposite in oratory.  The Jets look like a legitimate threat to the Patriots dominance of the AFC East this year, with a loaded defense molded by Bowles that features a familiar face in Darrelle Revis and an offense that features a power running game led by Chris Ivory.

The Patriots will win this game but it is sure to be a battle of two of the best teams in the entire conference.

Now, on to the weekly picks.  All picks are against the spread and home team is in CAPS.
