Game 1
As always, the Jets have two missions. Keep the game close and don't let the colts score more than 21 points.

Let's not get confused with a lot of talk about Revis Island or Dallas Clark or whatever. The key match up of this game is simple enough - Can Rex Ryan mix coverages and blitzes enough to fool Peyton Manning? Rex tries to fool you - for all his bluster and buffoonery and 7K calorie diet he is also a football genius. The measure won't be in sacks it will be in secondary and tertiary metrics like "QB Knock Downs" and "Hurries" and the real impact will be in Peyton's completion percentage and if he is seen having to throw on the run. If Peyton is rolling he turns into a pretty mediocre QB. If he's not, its probably going to be a long day for all involved. J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!

Game 2
Can Brett Favre and his crew silent count their way through an entire game? Can the Viking defense get to Drew Brees? Who reminded Reggie Bush how to run hard?Who will have sex with Kim Kardashian in the owner's luxury box? Has Jared Allen picked his pants up off the ground yet? I have more questions than answers about this game...go Saints!
