JETS at HEINZ FIELD for AFC CHampionship.........ROUND 2........for the right to go to BIG D....WHO WILL WIN?

In Week 15 the JETS came into Heinz FIELD struggling to find themselves and trying to get into the playoffs. After JETS Kick Returner Brad Smith #16 to the Opening Kickoff back some 100 yards that set the tone for the JETS convincing 22-17 lead.

Looking at the game closely the Steelers outplayed the JETS in almost every category but the scoreboard. Add the Facts that STEELERS All-Pro Safety Troy POLAMALU didn't play almost adds the WHAT IF or does JETS QB mark SANCHEZ have any idea what he will face SUNDAY when HEAD & SHOULDERS lines up everywhere but next to the JETS QB.

One also has to remember are the JETS content with beating the COLTS and PATRIOTS on the ROAD and now having a little bit of a letdown knowing they already beat the STEELERS....we shall see.

I know MANNING and BRADY are it.......but BIG BEN is nothing but CASH MONEY when the LIGHTS are the BRIGHTEST......NUMBERS DON'T LIE.

Let's check out how the TEams fare from a statisctical standpoint:

HEINZ FIELD PITTSBURGH PENNSYLVANIA

THE Offensive Rankings for both Teams:

JETS

351 Total YPG
202.6 Pass YPG
148.4 Rush YPG
22.9 PPG
36.9% 3rd down conversion

STEELERS

345.3 Total YPG
225.1 Pass YPG
120.2 Rush YPG
23.4 PPG
43.1% 3rd down conversion

NUMBERS do not LIE......the JETS want to run the ball....the STEELERS are #1 against the run.....the last time the 2 teams met the JETS put up over 100 yards on the STEELERS.......#43 was on the SIDELINE. JETS also need to be balanced to help their young QB Sanchez in the PASSING GAME. If #6 in GREEn has to pass the rock way more than they run....JETS get an L.

The STEELERS on the OTHER hand have been putting up a lot of points of late and seem to have the RED ZONE WOES behind them. The EMERGENCE of the young STEELERS WR'S WALLACE, SANDERS, and BROWN have been and will be a problem for the JETS if they can't stop the run and make the STEELERS one-dimensional.

The DEFENSIVE Rankings for Both TEAMS:

JETS

291.5 Total YPG Allowed
200.6 Pass YPG Allowed
90.9 Rush YPG
19.0 PPG
37% 3rd Down conversion

STEELERS

276.8 Total YPG Allowed
214.1 Pass YPG Allowed
62.8 Rush YPG
14.5 PPG
33.5% 3rd Down conversion

The STEELERS are #1 vs the RUN and the JETS are #3 vs the RUN. The STEELERS Defense will be a problem in this game because SANCHEZ didn't see POLAMALU in Week 15's Game and the JETS made some plays in the KICKING Game that the STEELERS will for sure sure up for SUNDAY.

The JETS have to worry about MENDENHALL who also rushed for 100 yards in Week 15 and TE Heath Miller was also out.....all these will factor into the STEELERS having a whole new-look offense that is way more potent than the JETS saw in WEEK 15.

WINNER: STEELERS...convincingly.........27-6.........and TERRIBLE TOWEL Nation.....CAN'T WAIT
