.oO(Boy, how do I miss Brud's weekly breakdowns..)

This game will go a long way to see how much pride this Skins team really has, or if it was completely eaten by the Patriots monster.

Injuries have been a recurring factor this season. Without Rogers, it'll be up to Smoot and Torrance/Macklin to step up and cover the likes of Coles, Cotchery and McCareins. Kellen Clemens, making his 2nd NFL start, is going to rely heavily on Thomas Jones and Leon Washington to carry the ball. The last start, he almost beat a very good Ravens defense.

Portis and Betts need to take the pressure off of Campbell, and run the ball with wreckless abandon. Luckily for them, the Jets have the 27th ranked run defense (29th overall). I'd personally like to see Sellers in on short yardage situations, as he's a good receiver as well.

These games always scare me. Weak non-conference team on the schedule, losers of 5 straight, with a gun slinger coming off the bench, and absolutely nothing to lose. Meanwhile, the hometown heroes have a pivotal game on their hands, a win and 5-3 moves mountains, while a loss and 4-4 could provide destruction going into a very tough stretch of games.

The only game related prediction I'll make: Sean Taylor picks off Kellen Clemens late in the game to secure the win for the B&G.

Skins 16
Jets 12
