Jets at New England Patriots 2011 NFL Playoffs Picks & NFL Odds - If New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan thought his game against Peyton Manning and the Colts was personal, what must he think about Tom Brady and the New England Patriots? Well, he called-out Brady for attending a Broadway show instead of watching his team defeat the Colts 17-16 in a NFL Playoffs Picks matchup last weekend, to earn a trip to Foxboro and a date with the Pats in an AFC divisional play-off match-up.

The Jets (12-5) just can’t seem to shut-up. From Ryan’s calling out Brady to cornerback Antonio Cromartie calling the quarterback a derogatory slur, the Jets are still talking, even after they lost to the Patriots 45-3 NFL Picks win just about a month ago. The Jets are -9 point NFL Odds underdogs, but they are talking like champs. Here are some keys to a Jets’ upset:

Put Brady on His You-Know-What

When Brady is comfortable, he is deadly. Tom Terrific completed nearly 66 percent of his passes, threw 36 TD passes, and just 4 INTs. The Jets can take solace in the fact that they forced half of his interceptions in their 28-14 win in week 2. That was one of Brady’s worst games all season and they are hoping for a repeat this weekend.

Ball Control

Same as last week – get two, maybe three, 5+ minute drives, keeping Brady off the field, and score points, touchdowns, actually. 3 and outs are a no-no against the Pats.

Cut Keller Loose

TE Dustin Keller had a big game with 7 catches and 115 yards in their 28-14 win. If he can recapture some of that magic, the Jets have a chance to make plays downfield while controlling the clock, the ball, and maybe the game.

The Jets are big underdogs again . . . the NFL odds are against them but a team that was beaten so badly just a month earlier is a dangerous team. 2011 NFL Playoffs Picks Bet on New York Jets plus the points.
