Jets not getting much respect? Every time I watch ESPN they have some statistic showing that the Colts are guaranteed to lose.

I Cant shake the feeling that this is going to be one of those games where Brett throws for like 350 yds but like 3-4 INTs.
Brees turns it over less to make it Elder Manning's old team vs Peyton Manning.
*Edit*
I think ESPN is hoping for Colts vs Vikings so they can drool all over Brett Favre for another 2 weeks.

So, at least on RedsZone, I don't see a lot of respect for them if that poll is any indication.
Good team + Lots of fans here = LOTS of votes (1 of them mine)

Here's an interesting article on why CBS wants the Jets to lose today.

We have one team in the Colts without a running attack vs another team in the Jets that does have a running attack and a better defense too. Upsets can happen.
I wouldn't rank the Colts as high as the Saints or Vikings. It doesn't matter who wins today, the NFC team will most likely be the favorite in the Super Bowl.
I think, after much reflection, that I want to see a Saints v. Jets Super Bowl. My rationale is:
1. The Jets beating Indy would go down in history as one of the all-time greatest "karma is a beytoch" moments in sports history. The then-undefeated Colts rolled over and played dead at the end of the season and, as a result, the Jets made the playoffs. Being eliminated by that same Jets team in the post-season would be an amazing end to that story.
2. I want to see the Saints win a Super Bowl, and I want to see Archie Manning there to celebrate with the team, wearing the black and gold. Manning is a beloved figure in New Orleans and was the lone bright spot on some truly awful teams -- he deserves to enjoy watching his team and his city win the big one without the distraction of having it come at the expense of his son's team.
3. I don't want to see a shootout in the Super Bowl, and this is one of the two matchups (the other being Jets / Vikings) where you wouldn't be insane to bet the under.

It's a moot point now, but what I meant at the time was Favre winning a Superbowl with a hated rival of Green Bay would be a big **** you to the organization that closed the door on him. It's no coincidence that Favre landed in Minnesota this year. That choice had some revenge factor figured in.
