King has Jets over Phins
Miami Dolphins (10-5) at New York Jets (9-6)
Don’t ask why. I don’t know. I do know that Brett Favre, Alan Faneca, Nick Mangold, Thomas Jones, Tony Richardson and Kerry Rhodes are going to play every play like it’s their last. Corny. Also true. I also think there’s a chance Chad Pennington might be a little too geeked up for this seminal event in his life. And I think the crowd will go from angry at the start to euphoric once it sees the Jets in control of the game — if not their destiny — midway through the second half.
Prediction: New York Jets 26, Miami Dolphins 24

oops, my mistake
I read so many that picked the other way, it must have melted the brain. Or it could have been that chocolate santa at midnight…
Keep the faith!
