I wont actually count the Jets out this year. I think it could be a surprise 9-7/10-6 playoff team. Their defense is solid and they improved from this draft. Decker and some of the offensive positions meh, but a year always helps a rookie QB. Statistics show that Smith SHOULD be better this year and that might be enough. I hope the Jets don't give up on him (mainly because it'd be a sad story, not because I care about the Jets) and start Vick at some point barring injury.
Jet's do have a top 10 SOS so if they do make it, can't make that excuse. I actually have the Jets (as well as Browns) as sleeper teams this year. That doesn't mean I'm pegging either for the SBOWL, but playoffs or CLOSE to it (8-8/9-7 missing).
*disclaimer: Seahawks fan posting. Could care less about either franchise. No former Seattle or UW players going there I care about, just an unbiased opinion*
Strong run game, strong defense, they should be competitive. Their weapons have improved a lot from last season and they are a deeper team overall. If Geno doesn't get it done, you have Vick who can still play.
