Monday Night Football: New York Jets vs San Diego Chargers Preview And Live Thread
Let's See If The Bretts Are Worthy Of Carrying LT's Janglers. Vegas Doesn't Seem To Think So
Tonight is Monday Night Football, and it's a good thing that John Madden isn't calling this one. He'd probably have an aneurysm seeing Brett wear a different shade of green, and it's not close enough to Thanksgiving for his turducken fallback plan.

Since it's Brett's first MNF game with the Jets, here's a fitting tribute. Enjoy.



Thanks to NFL Juice, we have this excellent commercial for Janglers, which are clearly far more stylish than the Wranglers that Brett Favre pitches.

But on to the game: Both teams have played slightly below expectations. The Jets lost at home last week to a Patriots team that many thought they should have beat, and the Chargers... well... they're 0-2 after losing consecutive games in the waning moments.

The Chargers are favored by slightly more than a TD, and it's hard to think that they won't win. But then again, Favre is old hat as far as this Monday Night thing goes, and he has had some success. For the Chargers, LaDainian Tomlinson has had a slow start, and their defense took a big hit when Shawne Merriman went down for the year.

If the Jets are going to win, they'll have to take advantage of Merriman's absence. If Brett Favre and the offense can move up and down the field, then they have a chance. But it's hard to believe that their defense will be very effective, since the Chargers offense has been extremely potent so far.

73% of FanIQ is going with the Chargers.

Watch the game at 8:30 EST on ESPN. Talk about it here or on the linked game page above.

I don't know what's worse: the Jets play, or earlier in the game when the camera panned to a group of fans that spelled JEST.

It's Brett and it's Monday night - I like my odds with that combination.

Instead of expert versus FanIQ picks, how about we do number of times Kornheiser says "Favre" tonight. My guess is 52 times. That's a serious guess, by the way.

I'd set the O/U at 104.

When I had the 1st pick in one of my fantasy leagues, I had trouble deciding between Tom Brady, LT, and Adrian Peterson.  I went with LT, but so far Peterson has been by far the best of the 3.

The problem for the Jets is that Brett and his wideouts don't have any chemistry yet, so you can just send the house on him.  A lot of QBs will tear you apart when you do that, but thats because they have chemistry.  The Jets don't have that.
