January is trudging along, the weather is getting colder in the north, and there is only one spot left in the AFC Conference Championship game. Spending the last month in New Jersey on winter break as a Patriot fan has been fun for the sake of trash-talk and friendly competition, with the occasional angry Jet fan hollering at a red light or two.

Jet fans back home tend to take after their coach and defensive squad; they are more concerned with embarrassing New England rather than actually winning a football game. The New York Jets say won’t be taking their northern rivals gently this time after looking like a JV squad in their humiliating 45-3 road pummeling in early December.

With only 5 games left in the regular season, three against AFC East teams, Bill Belichick and the Patriots look to elongate their winning streak and put and stay in contention for the AFC crown, the No. 1 spot in the East, and home-field advantage. The journey begins with New England (9-2) to seeking revenge for their early season loss when the arch-nemesis New York Jets (9-2) visit Foxboro.

Belichick came up an inch short last year against the Colts.

Well, here we are at Colts Week and the hype is just as big as we expected. With this annual inter-divisional rivalry game shifting back into New England for the first time since November 2007, many are anticipating the series to also shift back into New England’s favor.
