Goldie Locks: Christmas Weekend NFL Picks
Merry Christmas, football fans! It's probably not right to bet during the holiday season, but oh well. Enjoy the weekend and all the football!

Green Out In MetLife
Even though MetLife Stadium is shared by both the Giants and Jets, the Christmas Eve showdown between the two franchises is a home game for Gang Green. Rex Ryan and the Jet brass want to make sure the crowd and atmosphere dictate that.

Rex: It’s On Me
Most of the people who follow the National Football League know how it works with Rex Ryan. He's going to talk no matter what. Win or loss, the Jet coach will have something to say. Coming off of a 45-19 beating at the hands of the then 5-8 Philadelphia Eagles hasn't discouraged the chatter. Heading into the Christmas Eve showdown with the cross town New York Giants, Rex isn't just talking a big game. He's asking for the blame if his team doesn't perform.

Reality Check
The New York Jets have two games left in the 2011 season to avenge the disaster that occurred in Philadelphia on Sunday. It's not often that playoff caliber NFL teams lose 45-19 at the hands of a below .500 team. It seems like an even more rare occurrence that a defense like the one in New York gets lit up for nearly 50 points. After watching the 2011 Jets for 14 weeks, maybe it shouldn't be.

Week 15 NFL Picks
Ahh the pickings blog. A staple of every sports talk host’s website in America. How do my picks differ from everyone else’s? Well, I’m probably the only host who’ll outright tell you that most of these picks will be wholly incorrect!

Top Of The Class
Rex Ryan has been described in many different ways since taking over as Jet head coach after the 2008 season. Winner, blowhard, insane, genius, fat, overrated, underrated, fraud, future Super Bowl champion, liar and attention hungry. Regardless of what you think of his personality in press conferences and to Hard Knocks cameras, he is undoubtedly the best coach hired in the '08 off-season.

Asmougha The Jet: Best Deal Never Made
Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum went hard after one of the most sought after free agents this past summer. The dream scenario would have led to Nnamdi Asomugha signing a lucrative contract to play corner opposite Darrelle Revis for Rex Ryan. When the all-pro decided to take his services to Philadelphia, it was seen as a disappointment. Almost a full season in the books, it doesn't look like that anymore.

Zero For Philly
If the New York Jets are going to continue their run towards the postseason this Sunday, they are going to have to change the history of their franchise. In a twist of "same old Jets" irony, the team will play a must win game against an outfit they have never beaten in their history.

Greene Running Toward Consistency
Shonn Greene hasn't been the star running back Jets fans hoped for when the team jettisoned Thomas Jones after the '09 season to make him the feature back. Despite a lack of game changing speed and a past filled with ball security issues, Greene is quietly becoming a major cog in a balanced Jet attack.
