I have to admit that my preferences (as a fan, not necessarily prognosticator) may have jaded my opinion slightly on the AFC side.

When it is 3 or less, you have to accept that the linesmakers could take a side either way. I can't see Indy being dogs by more then a couple if they are dogs at all but at the same time it is rational that they could indeed be favored by more than 3. Personally, if Indy is favored by 3 or more, I would consider a pretty strong play for baltimore. Physically, I can't see Indy matching up and when Baltimore loses, it isn't by much.

KC and the Jets is going to be a game where the books will take a side and the public will push it from there. They won't open by more than 3 either way and I see it quite feasible that KC opens favored based on the fact that they are undefeated at home and also that the jets haven't played well either as of late or on the road. Matchup wise, I like the Jets if they go back to running it. On that note, maybe the Jets have TOO MANY weapons. They seem better when they keep it simple. If they try to go up and down in that stadium, KC will win.

Huh? The Jets are far better on the road than they are at home. 6-2 vs. 4-3. And KC is a much better matchup for them than Indy. If you take Bowe out of the game, which Revis can do, their passing game is crap. Whereas the Colts can beat the Jets with Manning's third and fourth options.

I didn't realize their road record was that good. I stand corrected. I guess what gave me that perception was that they eked out some games against detroit, cleveland and denver that really could have gone either way. You know what i mean? Yes they beat Pitt but without Polamalu that isnt as big of a deal.

Of late, they just don't seem the same team and defensively they have been inconsistent.

What do you think?

Their defense has been an issue for weeks now. IMO, when they put pressure on the QB by blitzing they are more effective. They have been getting lit up when they rush 3 and the QB has all of the time in the world. Their secondary is good, but no one can cover someone closely for 7 or 8 seconds.

They have also had some real bonehead calls and mistakes that have come back to haunt them. Holmes dropping the pass 3 weeks ago. Keller dropping the TD pass yesterday, Brad Smith dropping the pass on the fake punt yesterday (terrible call IMO anyway). Add to it a lot of stupid penalties also.

That said, I think they match up well with anyone and are as talented as any team in the league. They just need to put it together. This is when they did it last year and I think they are going to do it again.

Blah blah blah. The only one of those games that they actually got outplayed in was the Detroit game and the Lions play tough at home.

I don't know what you've been watching. They played an awful game at New England and then were putrid offensively (and outstanding defensively) against Miami. Their offense has picked up considerably the last two weeks and I'm not sure I blame the defense for sucking in Chicago. That field was a disgrace and defenders on both teams were slipping all over the place. They let up a lot of yards in Pittsburgh, but got the stops they needed to.

The main problem is the lack of a pass rush, and the loss of Leonhard hurt. They still have enough players to hold most teams to 17-20 points, so the question is whether the offense can keep playing like they have recently. I like what I've seen from Shonn Greene recently and despite what the village idiot says, Sanchez is a plenty capable, clutch QB who still is prone to some rookie mistakes.

Honestly, I don't know what to expect. Neither a run to the Super Bowl nor a first round exit would surprise me. They've got the horses, but they have to find a way to put it all together for four straight games.

They are undefeated at home and that Stadium was a huge homefield edge not to long ago. I think the Cheifs would be a prime play against the Jets and it has nothing to do with it being the Jets. Its a big play because the Jets will likely be chalk at game time and thats value IMO.
