There is no reason that the New York Jets should win on Sunday. The Colts are proven champions and Peyton Manning is at the top of his game. They're at home and have already proven the critics (like myself) wrong by resting their starters and still winning a playoff game after the bye. The defense gets to feast on a rookie quarterback as well.
Plus, the Jets have history working against them. They haven't made it to a Super Bowl since winning the most important game in NFL history when they beat these same Colts in Super Bowl III. This is usually the point where the other shoe drops and the ride ends for Jets fans.
But I wouldn't be surprised if they punched their ticket to the Super Bowl on Sunday in Indianapolis.
Last decade, we had dynasties involving the San Antonio Spurs and the New England Patriots. The Red Sox won not one, but two World Series. The Texas Longhorns won a BCS national championship. A team from Florida won the Stanley Cup. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals all made it to the Super Bowl.
Of everything we've seen the last ten years, would the Jets making it to the Super Bowl be all that strange?
All this team has done is do things like no one else has. While the league shifts to spread offenses with five receivers, the Jets rely on their running backs. While the league relies on max protection combined with heavy blitzes against the spread, the Jets have Darrelle Revis locking guys down while they zone blitz at most.
And while most other teams manufacture reasons to say, "Nobody believed in us," for the Jets it's true. I was one of many people that expected them to exit quickly from the playoffs. After all, they beat a Colts team that pulled it's starters and a Cincinatti team that didn't show everything to the team they were playing the following week anyways.
"They've got a rookie quarterback! They're lucky to even be there! They don't belong! They'll get bounced out quickly!"
What's crazy is that I'm listening to the Adam Carolla Podcast, and as I'm writing this, he made his predictions for the weekend saying, "I don't think the Jets should be there." But, if you think about it, it's no fluke to make it to the conference championship game. There are 28 other teams that wish they had such a "fluke."
And for me personally, it's tough to root against a Hispanic quarterback taking snaps for one of the four conference championship teams.
What's also scary to me is the way the gambling community is going on this game. New Orleans-Minnesota has stayed pretty much the same. The line favoring the Colts could reach close to double digits by game day because of all the late action coming in for Indy. And what will the "wise guys" in Vegas do? Bet heavy on the Jets. Because the smart money says that this is going to be a close game. And anything can happen...
We're guaranteed to see one long-suffering team reach the Super Bowl this season with the Saints and Vikings playing each other. And while it would be a monumental upset to see a 2nd long-suffering team represent the AFC for all the marbles, after everything we saw happen the last decade in sports, maybe it wouldn't be so shocking.

Why even post this? The NFL forum here is filled with a bunch of Colts bandwagoners, pissed off Cowboys fans, and a few meaningless Raiders fans. Nobody GAF about the Jets.
Yes, because the AFC > NFC.
not this year
Go Jets.
I think they'll pull it off.
Yeah, this is only the 4,000th "The Colts should win but I think the Jets can do it!" article that's been written this week. Move along folks, nothing to see here. Except maybe the latest Jets bandwagoner Bukefal, who seems to only be backing them to piss off dirk4mvp.
I just want to see that clown Mark Sanchez get owned.
you think people actually think you are a Jets fan???? Lmfao!
Bukefail is mad cause everyone laughed at him in the NBA forum for calling Tony Parker a top 10 player.
Damn, you are sad. I could care less what some mav fans thinks. You think im going to make time free and start looking for ways to piss someone off and post because of him? I in fact have a life outside of ST. I dont look on everything what happens around here and then look what others post and hey it must have something to do with the other thing
Look up my history of posts and you'll see even before the whole Parker thingy, I support the Jets in football.
Sad bag mav or sun fans
You J.T. are maybe just butthurt to see your team isn't getting so much attention from everyone as you would've liked probably. Not everyone is a colts fan. I dont even know you, nor dirkmvp nor duncan ownskobe or whatever their names are

Dont hate on me for nothing JT, just because I root for a team who happens to be playing against your team. I didnt expect it from you. And if you do, at least backup your claims.
And you duncanownskobe, you are sad. Your whole week is evolving around one little sentence I said in the nba forum. And it probably has still such an impact on you.
Talking about people who dont have anything else to do, jeezz you are la creme de la creme

Jets reach agreement with Chargers for Cromartie
By DENNIS WASZAK Jr., AP Sports Writer 50 minutes ago
NEW YORK (AP)—The New York Jets have reached an agreement in principle with the San Diego Chargers to acquire cornerback Antonio Cromartie.
The Jets confirmed the deal Thursday night, but didn’t release specifics— although it is believed to include a draft pick in 2011 going to the Chargers.
Cromartie was an All-Pro in 2007 and will team with Darrelle Revis in the Jets’ secondary, making them possibly the best cornerback tandem in the NFL. Cromartie replaces Lito Sheppard, who was released earlier in the day after one disappointing season.
Despite 15 interceptions in four seasons, the Chargers were dissatisfied with Cromartie’s performance late last season and in the playoffs. General manager A.J. Smith made it clear he would try to trade him.
A couple of years ago that would've been a good move.
Cro will return to pro bowl caliber now that he's out of SD, take it to the bank.
the only reason he will have any picks is because no QB dares to throw it toward Revis. Cromartie will have like 5 or 6 picks but he will give up a lot of completions
