If you had told Jets coach Eric Mangini to make a prediction on the outcome of this game at the start of training camp for this 2008 NFL season, and then told him that you were going to give him a pretty healthy New York Jets team and Brett Favre as his quarterback against the New England Patriots in Week 11, you’d have to think he’d be pretty stoked on his chances.
If you then told him that both Tom Brady and Laurence Maroney would not be playing, and that Randy Moss would have less than 600 yards on the season and only four touchdowns, and then told Mangini that the Patriots starting quarterback would be starting just the ninth game of his career…
I’m pretty sure the Jets coach would have predicted that his team would have to be the favorite going into this game against his arch-nemisis and former mentor Bill Belichick.
He would be wrong.
