The JETS travel to Baltimore this week to face the Ravens.  Here is my preview.

JETS OFFENSE vs. Ravens Defense

This is a very tough matchup for the JETS.  It looks like Chad Pennington is not going to play this week for the JETS.  Kellen Clemens is most likely going to get the start for the JETS.  This is not the ideal situation for Clemens to be making his first start.  The Ravens defense is one of the best in the league with Ray Lewis, Chris McCalister, and Ed Reed.  If the JETS are going to have success in this game the running game is going to be the reason.  The JETS need Thomas Jones to have a good game on Sunday so he can take the pressure off of Kellen Clemens.  If the JETS have to rely on Kellen Clemens to win the game, then their in big trouble. 

EDGE: Ravens

JETS DEFENSE vs. Ravens Offense

The Ravens offense has QB issues just like the JETS.  Steve McNair might not be able to go against the JETS this week.  If this is the case, then Kyle Boller would start for the Ravens.  Personally, I think that McNair will start the game on Sunday for the Ravens.  Either way the Ravens go with the QBs, they have Willis MaGahee as their RB, who was killed the JETS.  The key for the JETS will be to stop the running game.  The Ravens will most likely want to develop the running game before throwing the ball against the JETS.  If the JETS can stop MaGahee, the JETS can be effective against this Ravens Offense.  It is also good if they can put pressure on Steve McNair and his groin injury.  It is definitely realistic that it can happen since Jonathan Ogden is most likely not going to play.

EDGE: Even

This game is going to be an ugly game.  I think whoever scores between 13-17 points first will win this game.   Both teams have injury problems and issues on their offensive lines.  I think that in the end that in this game Kellen Clemens is going to have to do a lot since he won't get the support from the running game. 

Prediction: Ravens 17   JETS 10
