It’s bold prediction time for the Week 12 matchup in East Rutherford, NJ, as the New York Jets take on the Carolina Panthers.

The Carolina Panthers have never come up north and beaten the New York Jets. In the two trips to East Rutherford, the Jets have beaten the Panthers by a combined score of 65-27.

In Week 12, the Panthers come into town with a 7-3 record and in a dog fight for the NFC South title. The Jets are within one game of the sixth playoff spot in the AFC. So, they have something to play for. No matter what the expectations were before the season, missing the playoffs would be disappointing for the young Jets.

This is the kind of game that will show you where the Jets are. It will also show you where the Panthers are, because their play has been inconsistent, despite the 7-3 record. The Jets claimed they weren’t tanking before the season, and the roster has shown up all season, fighting though every game.

The Jets will come out and play hard on Sunday. The game will be a tough one for the Jets, but so far, they’ve shown they can play with anyone. Here are some bold predictions for this tough matchup.
