The JetUp Bleeding Green Podcast brings up a bold prediction regarding the New York Jets’ AFC East chances and much more in a new episode.

The New York Jets can’t possibly win the AFC East in 2018, right? Well history tells use otherwise. There is a road map for Gang Green to be able to topple the New England Patriots this season, and obviously the rest of the division as well.

In the latest installment of the JetUp Bleeding Green Podcast, we will take a stroll down memory lane and go over why the Jets have a chance in 2018, despite possibly starting a rookie quarterback.

He also tells you how the Jets improved their pass rush without adding a new edge rusher.

What’s in store in this week’s episode:

  • We take a trip back to the 2011-12 seasons in the NFL, and discuss how the Jets path to the AFC East title looks similar to another franchise, and how Tom Brady’s age is a huge factor in the Jets potential to win the AFC East, despite signs of age not showing up in 2017.
  • In the 2018 NFL Draft, the Jets didn’t select a pass rusher, as many believed they should’ve or would’ve. Michael discusses how the Jets improved their pass rush without draft or signing a premier edge rusher in 2018.
