Interesting trivia. Let's hope we can break our winless streak against them.

Well, our statistically pretty goddamned good offense should do okay against their mediocre defense.

Our statistically bad defense (Not the worst, but bad), is going against their statistically terrible offense seems like a matchup that they can exploit, but they also seem incapable of doing it against anybody. They have played Cleveland this year (And gave them their other win that wasn't vs the Giants), as well as an up and down Jets team. We are probably going to be the easiest defense they've faced so hopefully we don't see them explode on us.

It scares me, but I think in a shoot-out type game, we are well equipped to take it down to the wire and beat them with a long TD drive.
