N.Y. Jets 2012 schedule leaked?!

Shazam! Only in the world of mainstream media and the internet can this happen. While surfing through Facebook, I ran into a post that revealed the Jets' upcoming home schedule for the 2012 season. After doing some quick research, the entire schedule was revealed. JetsTwit.  It's hard to know if this is the real deal or not. If it is real, here is what it looks like:

Week 1: Dolphins @ Jets 1 pm CBS
Week 2: Jets @ Patriots 8:20 NBC 
Week 3: Bills @ Jets 1 pm CBS
Week 4: Jets @ Rams 4:15 CBS
Week 5: BYE
Week 6: Jets @ Dolphins 1 pm CBS 
Week 7: Cardinals @ Jets 4:05 FOX
Week 8: Jets @ Seahawks 4:15 CBS
Week 9: Jets @ Steelers 8:20 NBC
Week 10: Colts @ Jets 8:30 ESPN
Week 11: Chargers @ Jets 1 pm CBS 
Week 12: 49ers @ Jets 1 pm FOX
Week 13: Jets @ Titans 1 pm CBS
Week 14: Jets @ Jaguars 8:20 NFLN
Week 15: Jets @ Bills 1 pm CBS 
Week 16: Texans @ Jets 1 pm CBS 
 Week 17: Patriots @ Jets 1 pm CBS  

In spite of all their problems last season, the Jets get four prime-time games, two on Sunday night, Week 2 against the Patriots and Week 9 against the Steelers. It is interesting to note that for some reason ESPN felt it necessary to put Jets-Colts on Monday night, and the NFL Network did ESPN one better by putting (yawn) Jets-Jaguars on a Thursday night. I find it surprising that those two games have been scheduled at night, which might mean that this release may not be the official schedule (read below).

UPDATE 11:10 pm, Friday: While the source of the initial schedule release is probably not reliable, there has been a huge influx in the last few hours of calls to the NFL offices about leaked schedules online for all 32 teams. According to NBC's Mike Florio, these schedules are "bogus." If fake, it's a pretty convincing job. The REAL NFL schedule will be released on April 17.
