i know we are at the half way point

but to me it looks like the Ny Jets have the edge because of the schedule left

if they can win in NE and beat the Bills again in the dump then why not them?

The should go at least 5-3 in the second half. Giving them L's at NE, Tenn and one of the road games vs the NFC west teams either SF or Seattle. You would think that 10-6 should at least get them into the playoffs, if not the division.

If we can get through the next four games at 2-2, we should be in decent shape. If we can go 3-1, we're in good shape.

What I'd love is to beat the Rams and have Buffalo beat New England on Sunday, so we then have a chance to effectively end the Pats' season on Thursday. Would be unfathomably sweet.

Don't overlook the Dolphins is all I'll say. They may be the best of this lot.

Can't look past them this week! They have played well at times. With back to back tough road games ahead, this one is a must. Otherwise you could be 5-6 after the Tenn game, and forced to maybe run the table.

I agree, it's the epitome of a trap game. I think we can neutralize Stephen Jackson though, and the Rams' defense sucks outside of Atogwe and Long. As long as we don't turn the ball over (not a lock), we should be OK.

You may not have to worry about him. (grumbles a fantasy owner)

Never for the life of me did I think that the Jets could score 47 against a college team, let alone another NFL team. But I give them credit, it sounds like they played a very strong game going into the teeth of their schedule.
They have a great shot to be at least 10-6 and probably host a playoff game. Things are looking very good for Gang Green(for a change), now lets hope (or I should say you hope, cause I couldn't care if they never won another game ever again) they could manage a spilt on the road in the next two weeks.

We will see how far they have come the next 2 weeks.

Bills look like a 9-7 or 10-6 team that could be 1-5 in the division which will kill them in the tiebreakers. With just two division wins they might be alone in first though and if they can beat Miami and NE at home and steal one on the road at the Jets or Pats they are in real good shape. We'll know a lot more after this weekend.

Buffalo is hurting defensively, and opponents are starting to try to let Trent beat them.

McGee should finally be recovered fully which should help. Him not being at 100% the past two weeks has really killed them since McElvin hasn't been able to step up. They actually were moving Whitner to nickel when McGee was out because McElvin has been so useless. Schobel's injury hurts but he's a bit overrated to begin with. Whitner's injury probably hurts the most but fortunately they do have some depth at safety. It all comes down to whether they can run the ball and not turn it over. If they do that they can beat anybody, if they don't do that they can lose to anybody.
