The Jets need some sort of magical power to pull off this one. They've got Magic Sanchez. That's a start. But it'll come down to stopping Manning, which I'm not sure the Jets can do.
So, the Jets' dream season will fall one game short with this final score posted. Great season, great learning experience. Come back next year as one of the favorites and make it this far again.
The Colts will need to run the ball for Manning to do his thing, but I expect the ground game to pull its weight, and the defense will step up against the rookie QB. That's about it.
Jets 24, Colts 27

Playoffs: Jets at Chargers Prediction
I like the Jets offensive line. They've earned how far they've made it thus far. But I think San Diego has the advantage. The extra week off has helped the Chargers regain some starters. This will benefit them against a tired Jets team that hasn't had a week off in months.
The Jets need Mark Sanchez and Braylon Edwards to have a exceptional games. In order for this to happen, they need to run the ball for over 200 yards, which with their line is possible. I don't see this happening against the Chargers, but if they do, they'll pull off an upset.
Tomlinson, Gates, Rivers, all big offensive names. Expect them to put up decent numbers as the Chargers spread it around, keeping the Jets defense on their toes. Tomlingson will work the outside, making the Jets line run. Gates will work the middle of the field, his height allowing him to reach high throws. Rivers will sit in the pocket and deliver the ball
Cromartie and the defense is the key. If they have a decent day, the Jets will falter, as they will be under a lot of pressure to catch up with San Diego's early scores.
The x-factor in this game will be special teams, especially field position. The more Sanchez has to take his team down a long field, the more the Chargers. Look for the Jets to shoot for the end zone from midfield early in the game. If they hit a few of these, San Diego will not hold their ground.

Playoffs: Jets at Bengals Prediction
This is one of three rematches this wild card weekend. last week the Jets embarrassed the Bengals. But they were at home.
The difference in this one is Cedric Benson. He didn't play last week, leaving hte Belgals without their running game, which they've come to rely on. Palmer and Ochocinco aren't enough by themselves. If Benson has a good game, the Bengals will win.
On the other side of the sideline, Sanchez will have to play well if the Jets are going to stay in it. The Jets will run well, yes, but unless Sanchez throws a few TDs and the defense keeps Benson under 100 yards, they will not pull it out.
Homefield advantage will also make a difference here. The fans have got to keep their Bengals in it, as they may need a late come-from-behind drive to pull it out.
Final: Jets 17, Bengals 20
