2 New York Jets

The question is, how difficult will it be for Favre to catch on to the Jets' system, a version of the West Coast attack. "It's not etched in stone," Mangini says of his offense. "It will be tailored to his talents."

Are we seeing here a set of building blocks for the future, or a one-year fix for the Jets, two at the most? This might not be the definitive year to find out. The schedule is soft, with only five games against teams that had winning records in 2007. New York will be better than last year's 4--12. A 10--6 playoff year is not far-fetched. But after that, who knows?
