Have to strongly disagree with your take on K Collins holding the Titans back. The Jets opened the game with a coverage D, rushing only 3 or 4. Collins made some VERY pretty throws then. Really, he was ON spot. As Rex Ryan said, as he got into a "comfort zone", they turned up the heat and blitzed. He had less than 2 seconds to throw. They did the same thing to Brady, and for that matter, Schaub too.... and none of them did well under that crazy blitzing scheme.
I can only imagine what VY would have done there... he'd be institutionalized after playing that Jets D.
I'm taking NO in this game, but I can see it going the other way too. Even Brees needs more than 2 seconds to throw. With the Jets thin in the secondary, more reason to expect 6, even 7 man rushes. NO will have to change their basic game plan on O, which I think they will. BUT... if one conceeds that as a fact, the Jets have already taken NO out of what they do best, and that is why the Jets could upset here.
The NO run D looks good on paper, but so does any team that always plays with a lead. Their pass D looks bad, but again, so does any team that plays with a lead.
This is a game that will be won on game plans, preparedness and coaching. It will be fun to watch.
I predict:
T Jones-90yards, 1 TD
Washington-20 yards rush, 80 recieving with a TD.
Cotchery and Keller, 80 yards each, one gets a TD
Colston- 40 yards, TD
Meacuhm/Henderson- combine for 120 yards, and one TD
Thomas- 90 yards, TD
Bush-60 recieving
NO wins, 27-24
The crystal ball says so.
