The Jets beat the Colts just a few weeks ago after they yanked Peyton Manning.  But, the Jets were real close until Manning was yanked so I think this will be an outstanding football game.  The Jets won’t change a thing on offense in this game as they will give the ball to Shonn Greene and Thomas Jones as many times as possible.  The Jets don’t waver from that philosophy either as they were running the ball even after they fell behind against the Chargers and it paid off.  The Jets’ offensive line is a big, physical and nasty bunch who will likely push around the front seven of the Colts.  The Colts will likely bring up the safeties against the run and soon as they do look for some play action passes to TE Dustin Keller who is having an outstanding post-season.  The Jets’ O-Line must do a good job of keeping Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis out of the backfield because Mark Sanchez tends to make “rookie” mistakes when the pass rush is in his face.

Defensively the Jets are going to be all about stopping Peyton Manning and the passing game.  That is because they are confident that ILBs Bart Scott and David Harris will be able to stop Joseph Addai and the Colts’ running game.  The Jets will sick CB Darrelle Revis on Reggie Wayne but Peyton Manning will throw to his buddy anyway so he better be ready to be challenged.  The biggest key for the Jets are going to be the safeties (Kerry Rhodes and Jim Leonhard) who are going to have to deal with Dallas Clark.  Clark is a different animal than Antonio Gates as he is more like an extra WR lining up next to the OT.  Peyton Manning will also likely come after Lito Sheppard with Pierre Garcon and Austin Collie so he better be ready for action.

PREDICTION:  COLTS 21, JETS 17
