New York Jets at San Diego Preview



Can the New York Jets come up with another win? They have played some great football these last three weeks to allow them to get to San Diego, both on offense and defense and will need another great game against the Chargers if they want to move on to the AFC Championship game.

The Jets have keep the game plan very simple they want to run the football with running backs Thomas Jones and Shonn Greene and not ask rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez to have to go out there and win the game. The Jets have one of the best if not the best cornerback in the NFL in Darrelle Revis and he will be asked to match up with San Diego’s best wide receiver Vincent Jackson and shut him down. The problem is that the Chargers have a lot of weapons in the passing game, including tight end Antonio Gates, wide receiver Malcom Floyd and running backs LaDainian Tomlinson and Darren Sproles.

The game is going to come down to can the New York Jets defense stop the Chargers offense and quarterback Philip Rivers, I don’t think that will happen and see Rivers as being the difference maker in the game as the Changers move on the AFC Championship game.

Dallas at Minnesota Preview



The Dallas Cowboys come into this game as one of the hottest teams in the NFL Playoffs and travel to Minnesota to take on a Vikings teams that has some what struggled down the stretch of the season. All the questions will come up if the Vikings lose on Sunday will this be Brett Farve’s last game of his career, well who knows really. After the Cowboys went down to New Orleans to play then undefeated Saints and won the game, the Cowboys both on offense and defense have taken it to the next level. On defense the Cowboys will need DeMarcus Ware and Anthony Spencer to have great games pressuring Farve and still being able to play the run and not allow Adrian Peterson to have a great game. With the Vikings it to the same thing they need their front four to play outstanding as well to be able to win the game. Vikings defensive end Jared Allen will need to have a big game and that goes for defensive tackle Kevin Williams as well.

The Cowboys will need another good game from quarterback Tony Romo and his receivers. The Vikings must get pressure on him, because they don’t have the talent to be able to cover the likes of tight end Jason Witten, wide receivers Mile Austin, Roy Williams and Patrick Crayton one on one.

I think this game will come down to what teams pass rushers will be able to get to the other teams quarterback and force them into mistakes. Because of that and how well the Cowboys defense overall has been playing the last month of the season I see that DeMarcus Ware and Anthony Spencer being the difference in a Cowboy’s victory.
