Jets by 6; O/U: 40 1/2

TV: Ch. 11, NFL. Radio: ESPN NY 1050.

Boy, if the Jets had won Sunday all the nuances of this week wouldn't seem as bad. The short week? No big deal. The 1,600-mile flight to Colorado? No problem. Mile High altitude? No worries. Instead, the Jets are coming off a 21-point loss to the now first-place Pats. Plus, the Jets have less than three days to prepare for QB Tim Tebow and the option offense of the Broncos (7-19-2 ATS in their last 28 home games). Laugh all you want at a QB that goes 2 of 8 passing for 69 yards. "Tim Terrific" is 3-1 as a starter. Hopefully for the Jets (6-2 ATS last 8 as road favorite) and Darrelle Revis, they won't "fall asleep" in this one.

THE PICK: Jets

RONIS' FANTASY TAKE: Broncos WR Eric Decker will likely see Jets' Revis making him a poor play this week. Broncos RB Willis McGahee is questionable with a hamstring injury and a risky play. If he doesn't play, Lance Ball will see a lot of carries and Jeremiah Johnson would be a sleeper. Jets RB Shonn Greene is a solid start.
