Watch out for CLE!!!! They are much better with Holcomb at QB, and they're good on the road.

J.........E........T.........S

Jets! Jets! Jets!

Jets 24- Oakland 17

I'd love to pick Cleveland being from Ohio, but let's face it, they suck (not as bad as the bungles though).

Blanda was oldest active Quarterback and extra point kicker for the Raiders during the Ray Guy era.
Saved the Raiders bacon when their reg quarterback was knocked out.
I think he also held a scoring record.

As a Broncos fan- it is my duty and personal responsibility to say


GO ANYONE- BEAT OAKLAND!

My son asked me if the 49ers and the Raiders played in the SB, Who would I cheer for? I told him that as painful as it would be, I would have to go with the whiners.

OAKLAND will choke in the playoffs (probably second round) just like they always do.

Long enough to take us back to the Superbowl, hopefully!

GO COWBOYS!

Sounds like someone had a big new years party and still suffering. Oakland will take the Niners to the wood shed and show them how it is done. Oakland all the way.

Let me just make an observation: If Steve McNair can lead the Titans to victory in 10 of their last 11 games through multiple injuries and without practicing, imagine what a Titans team with a bye week can do.

Should I just go ahead and get a plane ticket to San Diego?

There is only 1 number standing between Oakland, and the SuperBowl

104.2

The NFLs Highest rated passser, King Chad, reunited with a very Healthy Curtis Martin, will be piloting the Jets to San Diego this Year...
