Last year the Jets only played 2 games against 10 win teams yet they just went 10-6 and outscored their opponents by 73 points.
Bengals played 6 games against ten wins teams (2 with our back up QB) yet we won 12 games and outscored our opponents by 140 points. Our offense scored scored 32 more points than them and our defense allowed 35 fewer points (despite missing Burfict for 6 games)
Jets are not in our class. If they played our schedule last year they would not even be .500.
Their vaunted D-line lost the starting NT Damon Harrison to free agency and Sheldon Richardson is suspended.
Well, it's hard to say because the Bengals only went 3-3 against teams with 10 wins. Whereas the Jets went 1-1.
However, when it comes to playoff teams. The Bengals went 3-4 and the Jets went 2-2.
Plus, it doesn't matter if a team is "in your class".
The Bengals were 8-0 and lost to a 3-5 team that's leading rusher had 33 yards and gave up 173 passing yards....to two QBs. And lost to a team that had a backup QB; who was behind Hoyer.
Anything can happen on any given Sunday. And the Jets are a good team.
