Take this to your bookie, the Jets won’t go 0-16 this season.
Some team will show up at MetLife Stadium on a Sunday afternoon hung over from overconfidence. They’ll turn the ball over multiple times and then fly home feeling the shame of an inconceivable loss.
It will happen. Maybe twice. But not more than that.
This isn’t news, nor is it new.
The 2017 season promises to be the franchise’s worst since the Rich Kotite-led disaster went 1-15 in 1996. But as a Jets fan, I claim witness to many seasons since (like last year) that were similarly decided well before Halloween.
