Jets and Giants are Prime Time Players in 2023

The New York Giants and Jets will have a combined total of 10 prime time games during the 2023 season.

Think about it, last year the Giants and Jets combined to appear in only three prime time games between them.

The Giants open the season at home under the lights on Sunday night football against the Dallas Cowboys on September 10. After a visit to the Desert to see the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2, the G-Men travel to San Francisco to face the 49ers on Thursday Night Football, September 21.

On October 2, the Giants will host the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night football. That’s three prime time games in the season’s opening four weeks for Big Blue.

The Giants face the Buffalo Bills in Week 6 on Sunday Night Football, and the Green Bay Packers in Week 14 on Monday Night Football.

As for the Jets, well, this is what happens when Aaron Rodgers comes to town.

The Jets are featured in five prime time games, and will also play in the first ever Black Friday game on November 24 against the Miami Dolphins.

The Jets open the season on September 11 against the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football.

After clashes with the Dallas Cowboys and New England Patriots in Weeks 2 and 3, the Jets host the Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs in Week 4 on Sunday Night Football.

Two weeks later the Jets host the defending NFC Champion Philadelphia Eagles at the Meadowlands.

In November the Jets will have back-to-back prime time slots. First in Week 9 against the LA Chargers at MetLife Stadium on Monday Night Football, and then a week later in Las Vegas against the Raiders on Sunday Night Football.

The Jets final prime time game comes in Week 17 on December 28 at the Cleveland Browns (could be a trap game).

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.
