It's safe to say the New England Patriots, who are on an eight-game winning streak entering the playoffs and own the league's best record, are the favorites to win the Super Bowl. But the Pats would benefit from certain matchups after the bye week, and, as tough as it may be, fans should be rooting for the enemy this weekend.
Should the New York Jets, the No. 6 seed in the AFC, beat the Colts, that would help the Patriots greatly. Peyton Manning is too dangerous this time of the year, and the 45-3 whipping Tom Brady and company put on Rex Ryan's team proves that New England holds a distinct advantage in that pairing.
Furthermore, if Baltimore takes down Kansas City (and I believe it will), and the Colts protect their home-field advantage against the Jets, the Pats will get a date with Baltimore at Gillette Stadium. And the last thing any Pats fan wants is another home playoff loss to the Ravens.
So as tough as this is to type ... J-E-T-S, Jets! Jets! Jets!

WOW!...that's the only thing I can say, WOW!...so because the Pats beat the Jets 45-3 the last time, they Pats are a lock to beat the Jets again? and because the Ravens beat the Pats in the playoffs LAST YEAR that automaticly means the Ravens will beat them again this year?
That's some convoluted logic right there.
Yes, the Pats will beat the Jets again, and yes, as I've stated before, the Ravens will be a tough out in these playoffs.
I'm not sure where it gets convoluted.
