Don't sleep on the Jets just yet. Before the playoffs started I thought they had the potential to sneek into the Super Bowl and end up winning it. Curtis Martin was been a low profile back his entire career even though he now hold the record for most consecutive 1k yard russing seasons. This year he caught the occasional headline on his way to winning the rushing title. Pennington has the potential to be a great QB especially if the Jets manage to hang on to Santana Moss (one of the best young receivers in the game). If they use the deep ball to set up the run early on the game they can keep the Steelers guessing throughout. However, (if I were a betting man) I wouldn't bet against the Steelers. They are just too well balanced. Their only weakness is that Ben is still a rookie. He may be the greatest offensive rookie ever, but he's a rookie nonethless. All of the greats have bad games and he's overdue for 1. I think the Pittsburg will win 27-13, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Jets managed to surprise a few people.
