Cleavie The Greek Predicts Jets Over Vikings

This game was going to be entertaining before the Randy Moss trade, but now it's must see TV. There are so many subplots it's ridiculous. Brett Favre's return to New York, the return of Revis Island, and a rejuvenated LT versus the best back in football (yes Adrian Peterson is the best back in football) is enough to peak the interest of a casual fan let alone a die hard fan like myself. Everything is bigger when it happens in New York and this game has as much drama as a week 5 match up can provide. It will be a high scoring close game, but in the end the Vikings will lose for 2 reasons, Randy Moss and Brett Favre. It's too much to ask of a player (even one of Randy Moss's stature) to come in on a Thursday and be able to significantly contribute to the outcome of a game 4 days later. Randy Moss doesn't know the offense, he isn't settled into his new/old surroundings, and it's a Monday night game on the road. Brett Favre is about as mobile as a 40 year old quarterback with bad ankles and he's going to face a blitz happy Jets team. Don't be surprised to see him throw 3 or 4 picks in this game. Mark Sanchez will have a short field all night and the Jets will prevail. Here are a few bonus picks from Cleavie the Greek:

Michigan over Michigan st. Denard Robinson is impossible to stop right now and the big house is rocking like Desmond Howard is still on campus. In addition, coach Dantonio isn't healthy enough to call plays from the sidelines. The Spartans are good, but they won't win this one.

Florida over LSU. The Gators need a bounce back game after the embarrassing loss to Alabama last week and an overrated LSU team is just what the doctor ordered. LSU has been on borrowed time since the North Carolina game. No more fluke wins.

Stanford over USC. The beginning of the end has begun in Trojan land. The Huskies exposed USC last week and the Stanford Cardinal will have no problem kicking them while they're down. Andrew Luck will have a monster game and solidify his claim as the best quarterback in the Pac 10 (if not the nation).

Detroit over St. Louis. We could call this the battle for the ROY award, but instead we'll call it the "gotta happen sometime" game. Detroit has had several heart breaking losses to start the season, but facing a rookie quarterback at home will help to change their fortunes.

Dallas over Tennessee. It looks like teams have figured out the key to stopping Chris Johnson and without him the Titans have to rely on Vince Young to win games. I repeat, without an effective Chris Johnson the Titans have to rely on Vince Young to win games. The Cowboys will roll.
