Last week: 28 (+3)

Record: 3-3

The Jets’ win last week was impressive, which is why I’m moving them up, but it’s important to look at how they won. They won by running the ball and playing great defense. The defense I expect will continue to be at least decent. Darrelle Revis is gone, but Antonio Cromartie has done a good job as the new #1 cornerback and other guys have stepped up in his absence. However, it’s their running game’s performance that I doubt can continue. Their running game didn’t do anything remotely resembling that in their first 5 games and the Colts’ run defense is pretty bad, especially with all of the injuries they have.

Mark Sanchez, meanwhile, was once again less than impressive, averaging 4.6 YPA against a defense that is surrendering 7.6 YPA all season. He passed for just 82 yards and is on pace for only 3000 yards. I made a prop bet at the beginning of the season that he wouldn’t get 3200, expecting him to be benched. Even if he doesn’t get benched, I still might win that. He’s gone under 200 yards in 3 of his 6 games.
