I don't know how or why, but Rex's Jets almost always play the Patriots tough, even when they aren't supposed to. At the same time, hanging around and having a chance to tie the Broncos late says a lot about the resilience of Rex's team. For New England, the losses of Mayo and Ridley are going to play huge factors on such a short week, and I expect Chris Ivory to have his best game of the season, allowing the Jets to shorten the game and giving Geno every opportunity to minimize his mistakes. On the other side of the ball, the Pats will either need to expand Vereen's role to make up for Ridley's absence, or they'll have to rely on a couple of young bucks and give them a chance. Not that it'll matter, as the Jets secondary is really struggling, so I expect the Uggly one to throw all over them. It'l be a close one, but the Jets will be forced to settle for a fourth quarter field goal when they're looking for a touchdown, and they won't get another shot.

You think the Lions feasted on that Vikings offensive line? Wait til you see what the best DL in the league is going to do to them. It's not going to be pretty for the pornstars of sucking at the OL position (double entendre!). The likes of Matt Kalil and Charlie Johnson are going to play a submissive game against one side of the D line, and Phil Loadholdt and Vlad will bow to the other side without much fight. Kyle Orton isn't about to light up Minnesota's back half, but the Bills defense is going to force several turnovers, leaving Neckbeard with a short field to work with. This game's going to be over before the second quarter starts ticking down, and it's all because of Minnesota's offensive line, five players whose effort needs to be questioned as soon as possible, because there's no reason they should be this bad. We're talking about 3 once dominant players and two capable guards. They better damn well show up or I expect to hear a lot of complaints about effort and wasted money on Sports Talk airwaves.

The Bears defense just went to town on Matt Ryan in Atlanta, so it begs the question of what they'll do to Ryan 3rd-year-and-still-slumping Tannehill in the Windy City. Needless to say, the Dolphins are going to be in trouble in Chicago. Now that Knowshon Moreno is out for the year, the load is likely to get too heavy for LaMar Miller, eventually, and I'm not even sure that Daniel Thomas still exists. A sheer lack of weapons on the outside are going to do Tannehil no favors (you'd swear Idzik was the Dolphins GM, right?). All things considered, the Dolphins still have a chance to win simply because they're playing a bipolar Bears squad that seems to only show up when they're backed into a corner and have to go outside and play. Overall, this game could be one of the most interesting of the week. Chicago has every chance to blow the Dolphins out of the water (play on words!), but will they do it?
