This is a tough matchup for both defenses, indoors and facing a lot of wide receiving talent. The Jets can't run the football, but there is talent in the passing game as WR Brandon Marshall has gone over 100 yards in seven of his last 11 games. New York ranks second defensively against the run (68.4 yards per game), but is getting gouged through the air, ranked #31 allowing 303.0 yards passing per game. Jets CB Darrelle Revis (hamstring) has struggled to stay healthy and faces an Arizona offense that is loaded with speed and talent. He's just not the player he used to be, anyway. The New York defense has allowed 27 and 31 points the last two games, and for the season ranks #25 in points allowed. Arizona is 8-3 OVER the total in their last 11 games against a team with a losing record. Arizona gets QB Carson Palmer back after sitting out last week. Palmer has a terrific trio to throw to in WRs Larry Fitzgerald, John Brown, and Michael Floyd. Fitzgerald has 31 catches and is tied for the league lead with five touchdown receptions. They scored 33 points with a backup QB last week, and the OVER is 37-14 after accumulating less than 150 yards passing in their previous game. Play this one OVER the total.

Arizona at New York
The Jets have been slow to open up the playbook for Brett Favre as he continues to learn the playbook and sets the Jets use. Last week Mangini opened up the Jets offense, though. Favre threw just 48 passes the first two weeks, and he threw 42 last week alone. That does two things. Favre gets hot and delivers TDs, but he also finds a way to send one in the other direction for a pick-6 more frequently than he or the Jets would like. Kurt Warner is healthy, and he is having a year like his Super Bowl year in St. Louis. He has already thrown for 750 yards and six TDs with just one INT. It's no wonder he's playing good as he has two deadly recievers in Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald. These two have already caught 33 passes for 540 yards and six TDs between them. If an offensive line can give Warner time, he's as good as anyone. The Jets secondary was picked apart by Phillip Rivers last week, and I expect the same in this one. Both teams should be able to move the ball, and I look for this one to go OVER the total.
