Saints are 6.5 points favorites against Jets.

I think we win, but it will be 3-4 points.

This may be one of our hardest tests of the year.

.. could be a series of factors..

The Jets are 3-0, but other than the first game, their last 2 victories have been by 7 points at home , whereas the Saints have won by at least 20 each week, including 2 wins on the road.

The Jets did beat the Pats at home, but the Pats have a rebuilding defense, a suspect running game, a Tom Brady who's not yet Tom Brady, and had no Welker for that game.

The Titans, with Kerry Collins at QB, put 17 points on their defense at home.

The most points the Jets have scored is 24. The least points the Saints have scored is 27
Now, the Saints on the other hand, have gone on the road and humiliated Philly's defense at home, and ran all over a Bills defense that was regarded good against the run (maybe undeserverly so, but still)

.. and there's no wind factor in the Dome.

.. so I can see where the 6.5 comes from.

6.5? How about 18?

Key to this game is to stop Leon Washington from making big plays on special teams... and I think we take them easily.

Whaaaatt? Leon can't do it all?

I say we whoop 'em by 20, like we did against the Bills!
