The Battle For New York

 Max Miceli

   Tomorrow the war of words that seems to manifest itself before every New York Jets game will end (hopefully), and a fight for New York will ensue.
   Both the New York Giants and the New York Jets are looking to make a move towards the playoffs Saturday in New York, but it's not going to be too good for one of the teams. With two games left, the Jets and Giants simply need to "win baby win" as only Al Davis can put it. They both control their own destiny.
   In a game that pits New York against itself, you can imagine the media that has surrounded the matchup. I could talk for a while about the trash talk going on, but I want to focus on something Victor Cruz said about Darrelle Revis.

Cruz said, "Teams aren't really scared anymore."

Revis responded, "The only thing I remember about this guy is preseason."

   I think it may be appropriate to give Cruz a little bit of advice.
           Don't mess with Revis.
    I'm sure you have heard of a little place called Revis Island, but you aren't even good enough to be considered for an invitation. You have a lot of work before you will even get a chance to get locked down by  Revis. So this weekend when you are wondering why your teammates aren't catching passes, remember they are playing against the great cover man in league since Deion Sander and Dick "Night Train" Lane.
   Because of Cruz's trash talk, watch for Revis to have a big (-ger) game (than usual). My suggestion to Giants quarterback Eli Manning is "don't throw to Revis... EVER". It can only end poorly.
   No question, both teams haven't had the seasons everyone expected them to have, but it seems as though the Jets already have the Giants playing their game with all the trash talk going on.
   Since they lost last week to the Redskins pretty embarrassingly, I don't really see them showing up this week either.

   I have the Jets winning this game.
