Pre-Game:
Here comes a classic showdown of offense vs defense. The Chargers are ranked #4 in the NFL in total points per game, while the Jets are ranked #1 in points per game allowed. Something’s got to give! New York dominated the Bengals for a second week in a row, which was very impressive by the way, beating them 24-14 in Cinci. San Diego is coming off a bye week since they clinched their division. The Chargers are the hottest team, having won their last 11 games.
New York Jets:
Well, like the saying goes, defense does win football games. The Jets somehow found a way to make it into the playoffs, and now they are advancing to the second round. Who said you must have a quarterback to win playoff games? Huh? Haha! Mark Sanchez is ranked second to last in total passing yards per game, but hey, he helped find a way to beat the Bengals in the postseason.
San Diego Chargers:
The Chargers in my opinion are the hottest team in all of football right now. They have won their last 11 games straight which has given them great confidence going into the playoffs. If San Diego continues to play the way they have been, any team is going to struggle to beat them.
New York Jets vs San Diego Chargers Prediction:
Do you like offense or defense? Well, in this scenario at least, I like offense. Plus, the Chargers defense is better than the Jets offense. For the Jets to have a legitimate chance at winning this football game they need to dominate the turnover ratio. If New York could out do the Chargers 4-0 in the turnover battle, they might have a chance. However, I do predict the Chargers to dominate the entire game and beat the point spread in a lower scoring game than what the betting websites are anticipating.
