2010-11 New York Jets Betting Odds & Schedule Analysis

New York Jets Football
If Mark Sanchez improves in his 2nd year, the Jets have all the makings for a run at the Super Bowl
The New York Jets definitely got better on paper in the offseason, acquiring CB Antonio Cromartie and WR Santonio Holmes in trades to bolster an already strong team that came within a half of making it to the Super Bowl last year.  However, Jets QB Mark Sanchez will need to find a way to develop his leadership skills quickly in his second year and take advantage of the talent around him while also improving his sometimes shaky play.  Sanchez tossed 20 interceptions and lost three fumbles as a rookie but has the poise and potential to lead the Jets to the Super Bowl.  New York head coach Rex Ryan should not have any problems with his NFL-best defense unless the egos he feeds get the best of him (like CB Darrelle Revis), and RB Shonn Greene is expected to have a breakout year and replace veteran Thomas Jones as the team’s leading rusher.
