Chill Out on Subway Super Bowl

Okay.It is getting a little crazy around here. I open up today's New York Post, and I find a breakdown of the Super Bowl between the Jets and Giants by Steve Serby. Humm, just in case you are wondering, it is not even Thanksgiving Day yet!

To seriously talk about a Subway Super Bowl right now is totally ridiculous. Yes, I posted on Sunday night that the two best teams in the NFL were in New York, but I did not say they were guaranteed an all expense paid trip to Tampa Bay. It's a long season for a reason. There are still five weeks left to the regular season, which could be five opportunities for the Jets and Giants to lose, or five opportunities for the Jets and Giants to win.

Anything can happen.

Then there are the playoffs. The Giants will have to contend with a red hot Tampa Bay Buccaneer squad that totally dominates its opponents at home games and has surrendered only 180 points all season. The Giants will likely see the Cowboys and Redskins in January as well. If the G-Men have to meet Dallas again with a healthy Tony Romo and a Cowboy team bent on revenge, the Giants could be in trouble no matter how good they have been.

The Jets road to Tampa is much more difficult. The Steelers are, arguably, a better team than the Jets. They have a great defense that lives by pressuring the quarterback. Even though their offense has done little this year, Pittsburgh is bound to explode at some point. Then there are the Patriots and Colts. Even though both teams may enter the playoffs as wild cards, they still know how to win in January.

So nothing is guaranteed! We will have to wait and see before anyone can starting booking flights to Tampa Bay.
