The New York Jets will rush for over 120 yards

Despite the fact that the Jets have added weapons on the outside, this is still a run-first football team. Early on in 2015, Chris Ivory was rushing for over 100 yards per game, leading the league. After some down weeks, they have rebounded, posting 128 yards against the Bills, and 137 last week against the Dolphins. Give a lot of credit to Brian Winters for settling into the right guard spot, taking over for the injured Willie Colon.

The Giants front seven is far from what it used to be, and it has shown in their play against the run. 11 games in, and the Giants defense is giving up over 110 yards per game on the ground. Last week, they allowed Alfred Morris to run for 78 yards, his third best performance in a very off year for him.

The New York Jets will dominate on the ground.
