PFT-
The game of the week -– sorry Favre fans -– has the most confounding betting line. The 3-0 Jets are 7-point underdogs after dominating the Texans and Pats, then beating the Titans?
If the conventional wisdom is that Mark Sanchez has been carried along by his defense and offensive line, well, the conventional wisdom is wrong. The kid has made a number of impressive throws in each win, far more than you’d expect from a rookie quarterback.
Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams will show Sanchez blitzes he’s never seen, but Rex Ryan’s wild bunch on defense will also make Drew Brees scramble more than he’d like.
The Saints are more complete than they have been in Sean Payton’s era -– their run defense is competent, and a healthy Pierre Thomas will lead an improved running game. But the Jets are strong enough to win the battles in the trenches on both sides of the ball, which will keep this close throughout.
In the end, the quarterback difference and a little home cooking will get the Saints to the quarter pole undefeated.
Pick: Saints 24, Jets 23
