Colin Cowherd boldly predicts Aaron Rodgers' team to finish worse than Daniel Jones' Giants - "I can see the Jets unravelling"

The New York Jets might have beaten Daniel Jones and the New York Giants in preseason, but Colin Cowherd reckons the roles will reverse in the regular season. Both teams play in the same stadium, and each claims to represent New York in football. In the preseason, the Jets won 32-24 against their city rivals.

Colin Cowherd, though, thinks that the Giants have some benefits that the Jets do not. He reckons Andrew Thomas, a young veteran at left tackle, is one reason why he expects them to do well. Left unsaid is that the offensive line protecting Aaron Rodgers is considered the only weak link for the Jets.

The NFL commentator also went on to highlight that they have momentum from last season, having got into the playoffs, and that they are playing in the NFC, which is a weaker division than the AFC.

Colin Cowherd also named stalwarts like Darren Waller and Saquon Barkley, who add to the offensive output of the Giants beyond Daniel Jones' arm. He also said Garrett Wilson is the only elite offensive weapon Aaron Rodgers has.

"One of the best young left tackles, playoff momentum, weaker conference by far, and they've got Darren Waller and Saquon Barkley, proven veteran weapons.
"The Jets have Garrett Wilson. He's a kid, according to HBO, Hard Knocks. He may not be running the right route yet. I'm just saying I can see the Jets unraveling. I can't see the Giants unraveling."

Colin Cowherd praises coaching cast around Daniel Jones

The NFL analyst also said Brian Daboll, who was the NFL Coach of the Year last season, is unlikely to drop the ball this season.

"I think I look for traits in everybody now is dumping on the Giants. You don't think Brian Daboll and that staff aren't feeding those guys the reports of getting dogged by the media.
"Same stadium team wearing green. Unbelievable HBO star quarterback, 12 wins is possible. Just saying folks, the left tackle, quarterback in his prime, easier division, easier schedule, offensive coach, playoff momentum, overblown tough schedule."

Eventually, though, if both teams make the playoffs, they will not care how they got there, and from there, it will be anybody's game.
