1:1 favorites to win the SB.

I really don't have any say in the odds, but this is exactly why they actually play the games instead of just giving the Lombardi to the team with the best Sabermetrics. Kind of a moot point, but even assuming the Pats won the AFC, I couldn't see their D managing Green Bay, Atlanta or Philly without the weather to help them. Defense is still a WIP. Nice run for a young team that wasn't supposed to break into double-digit wins.
Anybody want to trade for a 2x

As far as Silver, I think it's a little premature to say that one game was a changing of the NFL guard. The Jets won a great game, good on them. It was just a divisional playoff game, you don't get shit for winning that, not even a fancy t-shirt.
When you play in NYC, even getting to SBs and Championship games doesn't mean shit. When was the last time anyone heard Jim Fassel's name mentioned? Holmes spanked the Vikes 41-0 in the NFCC game and then...never a peep. And the Jets don't even measure up to them yet.
I don't think the brashness and shit talk have much of an impact during a game. Jets won because of awesome secondary scheme/execution. One game is not really a referendum on shit talking vs. boring teams. The Jets trophy case is pretty bare and dusty to start coronating them, besides I think the Steelers might have something to say next week.

How in the world is Mike Florio given such a large, corporate forum to disseminate slimy shit like this?
Aaron Rodgers has a lot to learn about where his money comes from
The rumor-mongering and gossiping is one thing, I get that, even if most of it is usually titillation and not substance.
This is some of the most presumptuous, self-righteous bullshit I've ever read.
