Jets and Giants football Gameday!

What a day it is out there football fans, the first true fall-feeling afternoon on tap for two big games for the New Jersey-based NFL ballclubs.

First the Giants are at the New Meadlowlands at 1pm to take on arch-rival and division foe, Washington with their 0-2 record. Thus far, well, they're a mess. Last year's breakout QB Kirk Cousins isn't having a "You like that!" kind of season.

First off the Skins cannot run the ball. They average an abysmal 68 yards a game so far. Big Blue should be able to use this to an extreme advantage and get after the pocket-passing Cousins. The Redskins CAN pass, Cousins is capable of throwing for 300 yards but the New Jersey defense has to make those "trying to play catchup" yards.

Now let's get back to where the real fun might pop up, Odell Beckham Jr. and Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman and their ongoing grudge. Let's look back at last year when Gordon was with Carolina shall we? (Tom Coughlin sighting)

So, with all the extra-curriculars that might go on with age-old rivals today could be a knock-down drag out fight where the Redskins pull the GMen into the deep water of the 4th quarter but Johnny doesn't get that feel today.

Now, off to the J-E-T-S- Jets Jets Jets game out in Kansas City at 4:30pm, Wilbert Harrison won't you set the mood:



Ah, Kansas City, you never know what the hell to expect from the Chiefs at home do you? Could be an all-time performance with great screaming fans or they could easily lay an egg. Johnny thinks betting on games in Chiefs-land are a fools errand. Let's go to the tape:

Pretty simple today Jets fans, run the ball. The Chiefs have a fairly well balanced offensive attack with passing being better but on defense they allow a lot of yards on the ground, a Jets forte'. This should help cover for the hideous Jets pass defense if they can keep the Chiefy Wiefies offense off the field. If this game were being played in New Jersey Johnny would have no trouble going with the Jets. This one is tricker and road games in the NFL are notoriously difficult. Coin toss time.

New Jersey Jets 23
Kansas City Chiefs 20 OT
