New York Jets 2011 Super Bowl Preview: The New York Jets are coming into the 2011 season with enormous expectations. This is a team that backed into the playoffs and made the most of their opportunity by knocking off the Cincinnati Bengals in the first round and squeaked by the San Diego Chargers in the divisional round. The Jets had the Indianapolis colts on the ropes, 17-6, in the AFC Championship game but Peyton Manning connected with Austin Collie right before the half to close the gap. The Jets never scored again and the Colts came back and punched their ticket to the Super Bowl. The Jets went 9-7 last year while going 2-4 in the division as the Dolphins victimized them twice with their powerful wildcat formations.

The New York Jets' 2011 Super Bowl Betting Odds have the Jets at +1000 to win the 2011 Super Bowl.

NFL Predictions Offense: If Mark Sanchez can build on his performance during last season’s playoff run, the Jets will be hard to beat. His decision-making improved tremendously; he did a better job of reading defenses and not forcing balls into coverage. The No. 1 rushing team dumped two key backs, Thomas Jones and Leon Washington. The feature role should go to Shonn Greene, one of the driving forces behind last season’s run. Greene ended the regular season with 540 yards on 108 carries for a 5.0-yard average. He broke out with 144 yards and two touchdowns in a win at Oakland and then added two more 100-yard games in the playoffs; 135 at Cincinnati and 128 at San Diego. Greene can be a devastating blend of power and speed, but the concern is durability. The receiving corps is the most improved area on the team. The Jets retained Braylon Edwards on a one-year contract and acquired Santonio Holmes at a discounted price from the Steelers. If Holmes behaves, he could be the missing ingredient on offense, an explosive receiver who can attack vertically and pile up yards after the catch. Edwards has that kind of talent, too, but he’s maddeningly inconsistent, a drop waiting to happen. The New York Jets' AFC East Odds to win the division are at +130.

NFL Predictions Defense: The big fella is back. Tackle Kris Jenkins, who missed most of last season because of knee surgery, will be in the middle again, drawing double-teams. The question is, can the Jets count on him for a full season. He’s 31 and has had durability issues. His backup is Sione Pouha, who won’t cause offenses to alter their blocking schemes. Defensive end Shaun Ellis, 33, the longest-tenured Jet, might be on his last legs. Three starters are over 30, and they added a pass-rushing specialist, Jason Taylor, who becomes the second oldest player on the team at 36. At linebacker, the team color should be gray, not green. Coupled with the aging line, the front-seven speed could be a major Taylor, Calvin Pace and Bryan Thomas are capable of playing outside linebacker or getting into a three-point stance at end.The Jets finished No. 1 in pass defense, unloading three of the top five players, including safety Kerry Rhodes. But here’s the crazy thing: The revamped unit could be better than the old one. Any secondary with Darrelle Revis has to be good as he’s arguably the best cover corner in the league but now he has a couple of new partners who should thrive in the man-to-man scheme. If former Charger cornerback Antonio Cromartie can revert to his 2007 form, this secondary will be scary. The New York Jets' Win Total is at 9.5 with the other being Even

Head Coach\Special Teams: Rex Ryan does a lot of talking, but his team usually backs him up. Strategically, the biggest challenge will be finding a comfortable run-pass balance on offense. They want to loosen the reins on quarterback Mark Sanchez, but they don’t want to sacrifice their run-oriented personality — or, as Ryan likes to call it, Ground and Pound. Nick Folk, who replaces the solid Jay Feely, went from a Pro Bowl kicker (20-of-22 in 2008) to a train wreck (18-of-28 in ’09). He attributes his disastrous season to hip surgery, which messed with his mechanics.
