Pick of the week: Bills (+2.5) vs. Jets

Found September 06, 2012 on Bloguin Best:
PLAYERS: Fred Jackson,  Mario Williams,  Marcell Dareus,  Mark Anderson,  Stephon Gilmore,  C.J. Spiller,  David Nelson,  Cordy Glenn,  Tyron Smith
TEAMS: Buffalo Bills,  Dallas Cowboys,  New York Jets
Week one means it is time for the first pick of the week. The season opener did not exactly go how many people planned, so lets hope that everyone out there with some action on the game will be able to make it back up on Sunday. Full slate of games to start the day, but we will take a look at the Bills heading to face the Jets for an early season AFC East clash that could tell as much much about the team from upstate as the team that plays in Jersey. The Bills got out to a surprisingly hot start to the season last year, but Fitz struggled through injuries in the second half of the season and after Fred Jackson went down, it was hard for them to rebound.

Updated AFC Playoff Predictions, Can the New York Jets Make the Playoffs

Via Football Extra Points  |  September 05, 2012
In my pre-preseason predictions, I had the New York Jets making the playoffs with Tim Tebow taking over the starting job mid-season. After seeing the Jets in pre-season I can't stick with that prediction. Unless Tebow plays most of the snaps on offense, the Jets have no chance of making the playoffs. AFC East New England (12-4) No doubt, steady every year. Buffalo...

New York Jets' Bilal Powell Wins Third Down Running Back Job Over Joe McKnight

Santonio Holmes Is Bad At Keeping Information To Himself

Via 60 Max Power O  |  September 06, 2012
Santonio is very pleased about his helping hand. Mark…yeah, not as much. The New York Jets have been a media circus since Rex Ryan got hired as their head coach, but the spotlight has been intensified by a thousand since New York traded for Tim Tebow.

Via NFL Draft Zone  |  September 05, 2012
While people in the media are attacking the young wide receiver from Georgia Tech, I still believe that it was a good pick. His own head coach Rex Ryan disagrees with me, and is not even sure if it was the best pick for the organization. “Well, nothing told me he would (contribute),” Ryan told Don Banks of Sports Illustrated. “Nothing.
