NFL Week 6: NYG on Monday Night, Jets see Ocho Cinco and Buffalo gets the week off

Taking a look into the week 6 match ups comes an interesting week for teams out of the NY state. Starting out in Buffalo. No game to take place Ralph Wilson Stadium this weekend as Buffalo gets their bye week and a week to recoup after the devastating loss to Kurt Warner and the ever so dangerous on any particular day Arizona Cardinals. Anytime your quarter back throws for nearly 500 yards and loses, which is what happened to the Cardinals when they met up with the Jets in week 4, your team is not doing something right. Pittsburgh, Tennessee, Kansas City and Buffalo all get a two week break to prepare for week 7 as 3 out of those 4 teams are looking to win their divisions.

The Jets are coming off their bye week as they get a crack at the 0-5 Bengals and their trash talking wide out Chad "Ocho Cinco" Johnson. Johnson never got a chance to kiss the star as the Bengals were beat 31-22 by the Cowboys last week getting into the endzone twice through the air but not through the hands of number 85. But the Jets came out of the bye week last year toppling the Steelers in a close three point victory by the total of 19-16. Brett Farve has been everything the Jets were hoping for with his 935 passing yards thus far with 12 TD's and only 4 INT's. Playing at home against the Bengals is a gift and should lead to an easy week coming off the two week break.

Prediction: Jets over Bengals 38-21

Monday night football this week is hopfully going to serve as a high scoring and intense match up between two non-division opponents. The Browns need to get back on track. Last year, Cleveland finished behind the Pittsburgh Steelers with a record of 10-6 in the regular season. Starting out this newly 2008 season with a 1-3 record is not the start any club is hoping for but this game is the one that I believe we will see them bounce out of their funk and get back on track. Playing on the Monday night stage at home is the perfect scene to show the rest of the country and the NFL that the Browns are still a contender. Will they be able to get past regining Super Bowl Champions New York Giants? I do not see it happening but look for a close tight game that will prove to be a good game and an exciting one to watch.

Prediction: Giants over Browns 21-20
