Reeves only get blown out in superbowls, never in championship games. Falcons is too good to get blown out. In a dome stadium, not in the arctic. Falcons will run and run, and let the clock tick away, and keep Cunningham-Moss combo off the field. Falcons will eventually lose the game, by fewer than 5 points. Jets will be in balmy Denver, 45 degrees by start of game time and 30 at end of game. That's pleasant dry cold and not the bone chilling cold of New York. Denver passrush is not up to snuff. Jets have edge on defense. Broncos should have edge on kicking game and special team. Offensively, both equally potent. Chrebet, Brady, and KJ will have great day against Denver's pass defense. That should negate Denver T Davis run offense. Broncos D has to be at near their best. Jets need to avoid special team lapses. If Jets can stop Terrel Davis, then game may be decided by halftime. Otherwise, Jason Elam and Denver's special team will give Broncos the edge. If both teams play their best, Jets will win. However, this young Jets team is susceptible to dumb mistakes and has tendencies of giving up quick scores. This will be a great Parcells-Shanahan matchup, the two best minds in football. Parcells has proven himself over the years. If Shanahan had two weeks to prepare, then he is the best. For this game, only one week to prepare.

Looking from another perspective on tomorrow's games. Looking for which way the referees will be leaning and try to give the edge to. Broncos in Miami? Who cares?, and forget it. It's just another cowtown team that made it good. No glamour. Zilch. Nada. Not even material for Holywood story. Superbowl is not a Western stock show. If the superbowl game were in the west coast, that would be a different story. Jets in Miami? With Parcells? Jets paid beaucoup buck$$$$ and stole this coach from NE. Now, that's going to be a tremendously HUGE financial bonanza for NFL and advertisers. That's Holywood story material and there will be Holywood personalities taking interest in this Superbowl. There are Jets fans all along the east coast, from NY to Florida (NY snowbirds and retirees). Give edge to NY for this category. NFL coaches refused instant replay for these playoffs and the Superbowl - the underlying reason just stated above. Vikes - Falcons matchup doesn't have the same significance, glamor, or incentives. I recall the Jets-Seahawks game, Bills-Patriots game, and Bills-Dolphins playoff game, and noted their significance. $$$ talk$ loud and clear these days. It's all loud and clear to this bubba.
