This matchup is the only game of the week with no real playoff implications. Both teams are struggling but Jacksonville is actually playing with some hope. I am not a big fan of rookie QBs but this may be the situation that allows Leftwich to post a good game. He now has a decent number of games under his belt and he faces a miserable Jets’ defense on Sunday. Last week they gave up over 500 yards to a Colts team that was without two of their biggest offensive weapons. Jacksonville seems to be getting a little better each week. They upset the Colts two weeks ago and last week they nearly upset the Titans as a 10-point dog. Their defense is actually quite strong, ranked 10th in the league. If they can muster some offense (a good chance this week), they should win this game.
