Well, what about Brett Farve then? Yes, he owns all the the passing records, INCLUDING PICKS. But, in recent history (other than last year, of course) the Packers weren't looking so hot in a pretty easy division (though the Bears D was looking good for a little while). Plus, Brett can no longer handle the pressure of the playoffs (the horrible game against the Rams a few years ago, the game ending interception against the G Men last year), so how can he possibly handle the pressure of the New York media? Sure they love him now, but let him lost this first game or maybe two in a row during the season and they will rip him apart like a pack of wild dogs.
This game in Miami is a MUST WIN for Brett and his Jets. They are the most watched team in the nation right now with their Farve acquisition, while the Dolphins have no where to go but up after a one win season last year. The Dolphins don't look very strong, but Brown and Williams in the backfield may cause some trouble if they are 100%. Chad in my opinion has never been a real good QB, but he knows the defense having played on the Jets and maybe his little 5 yard passes will do something today.
The Jets SHOULD win this game, but only if Brett is comfortable, which he may not be. I'll say 20 - 17 Jets, although it could be a larger margin if the fish can't get the run game going. Personally, I think it would make a great story to see the Dolphins win this first game and put a whole bunch of pressure on Brett and the organization.
