2015 NFL Schedule Leaks: Jets open vs. Browns, Giants @ Boys in Week 1

Later tonight the entire NFL schedule will be released to the public, but already, as is the annual tradition, rumors and leaks are coming out all over the place regarding the schedule.

Here is what we knew already. The Jets play Miami in London in Week 4. The Bills vs. Jaguars and Chiefs vs. Lions will also play in London Weeks 7 and 8, respectively. 

Now for the good stuff that is hot off the presses. According to NJ.com, the New York Jets will open the season at home for the sixth straight season, this time against Johnny Manziel and the Cleveland Browns. An intriguing match-up because both teams are rumored to be hot for Marcus Mariota in the draft, and it would be Mike Pettine's return to the Meadowlands against his old team. Plus if Johnny Football is still in Cleveland, we get to see him handle the Big Apple media blitz for the entire week. 

It is surprising in a way since the Jets have been opening at home for six straight years, while the Giants have either opened at home in prime time, or have been on the road. Logic would have dictated that it was the Giants turn to open the season at home at 1:00 p.m. Not the case. 

Rumors are the Giants will open up on the road for the third straight season, and for the second time in three years, they will face the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football on NBC. Not exactly exciting stuff. The game will be the fourth straight season opener for the Giants in Primetime. They opened 2012 at home on Thursday night against Dallas; visited Dallas on Sunday night in 2013, and last year, played in Detroit on Monday night.

Sounds like first Sunday night regular-season game is shaping up to be Giants at Cowboys. Just like two years ago.

Looks like the home opener in Week 2 will be against the .
UPDATE: the will play the in Week 3 on Thursday Night Football.
The Jets will wrap up the season in Buffalo against old coach Rex Ryan and the Bills. Another surprising development since any Jets-Bills game will now hold national significance thanks to good ole' Rex. Since the NFL mandated that all NFL teams play a divisional rival in week 17 back in 2010, the Jets have yet to finish a season with the Patriots. It has either been Miami or Buffalo. 

Speaking of the Patriots, they will open the season against the Steelers in week 1 on Thursday night. Not a big surprise here since the Steelers were the only really tasty match-up for New England on its home schedule, and the NFL always wants its best foot forward in the opening feature game. 

And lastly, we will have Favre Watch return this year. No Brett Favre is not coming out of retirement,  but the Packers legendary quarterback will have his number 4 retired on Thanksgiving night when Aaron Rodgers leads the Packers against the Bears. 

The rest of the schedule will be posted here as soon as its available.

Jets, Dolphins and Patriots Playoff Breakdown

Here are the formuli that could get the Jets into and out of the playoff party this season: 1) If the Jets win against Seattle and Miami, they win the AFC East based on a better conference record (8-4) than the New England Patriots, even if New England wins out as well. 2) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins win out and finish at 11-5, the Jets would be 10-6, or 9-7, and probably out of the playoffs. Both New England and Miami would make the playoffs, with the Dolphins as a divison winner and the Patriots as a wild card. The Patriots make the postseason if Baltimore loses one of its final two games. 3) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins and Jets split, then the Patriots win the AFC East. The Jets will have to hope that they beat Miami to win that tie-breaker and, further, hope that they have a better conference record than the Baltimore Ravens in order to clinch the sixth seed. 4) If the Patriots and Ravens win out and the Dolphins and Jets split their final two games, then ...

Francisco Lindor Remains Red Hot as Mets Top Phillies

 Francisco Lindor remains the hottest player in Queens right now.  The Mets shortstop blasted two more home runs, including a three-run blast in the bottom of the eighth inning, Monday night to help propel the Mets to a 5-4 win over Philadelphia.   Lindor who typically struggles in the month of April is putting together a heck of a month. Monday's two hit effort was the 10th game in the last 11 where Lindor has recorded a hit. In fact in the month of April alone this year, Lindor was hitting at .311 coming into Monday's action.  On the year, Lindor is batting .284 with five homers and 13 RBI.  Lindor's efforts proved to be prophetic, as the Phillies Alec Bohm crushed a three-run bomb off Edwin Diaz in the top of the ninth to cut the Mets lead to a single run. Fortunately for New York, Diaz was able to shut the door with strikeouts of Trea Turner and Bryce Harper.  New York (16-7) has now won five in a row.

Mets Keep Rolling into Phillies Series

 The New York Mets are feeling pretty good about things right now!  The Amazin's swept a four game series from the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday, winning 7-4 Sunday afternoon. It was the first time since 1986 that the Amazin's had swept such a series from St. Louis. We all know what happened later that season.    Well, not to get too far ahead of ourselves, because the 2025 version now faces a very stiff challenge. The Mets will face their arch rivals the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday with only two games separating the two teams in the NL East.  The Mets took out Philly in the NLDS last October, so this figures to be a heck of showdown. The Mets begin a month long stretch against teams that are likely postseason contenders like the Phillies, D-Backs, Cubs, Yankees, Red Sox, and Dodgers.  If the Mets (15-7) are this good, we will know for sure in a month.
