Stephen A. Smith believes that the Giants and QB Eli Manning will play with a chip on their shoulder and propel them to beat the Jets. Skip Bayless, however, likes the Jets to win, even though he admits some bias for his reasoning.
Thoughts and observations on the New York Jets:
1. Double vision: If the Jets make the playoffs, general manager Mike Maccagnan deserves executive-of-the-year consideration based solely on the Ryan Fitzpatrick and Brandon Marshall trades. On consecutive days last March, Maccagnan acquired a quarterback-wide receiver tandem that has become one of the most prolific single-season duos in team history.
