See Why Expert NFL Predictions Pick the NY Jets As the Team to Watch This Season

In the NFL, defense wins Super Bowls which is why the NY Jets are one of our top NFL picks to win the 2011 Super Bowl. The NY Jets who have the NFL's best defense which led the league in fewest points, yards, and passing yards allowed added defenses players to their rooster in the offseason that cement that claim even further.

The NFL's #1 rated defense last season led by arguably the NFL'S best shut down cornerback in Darrelle Revis added cornerback Antonio Cromartie and drafted Kyle Wilson to their secondary, a cornerback out of Boise St. Revis had 14 interceptions over the past three NFL seasons and now the Jets will make it more difficult for any team to pass against their dominate secondary with Cromartie on the other side who has had 15 interceptions himself the last 3 seasons.

This Rex Ryan influenced defense was already aggressive last year as they knew Revis could lock down any opposing team's best receiver. Now with the addition of Jason Taylor from the Miami Dolphins and a front seven lead by linemen Shaun Ellis and Kris Jenkins plus linebackers Bart Scott and David Harris, look for all out pandemonium from the Jets pass rush.

The Jets played a conservative offense last season with Rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez averaging only 148.8 passing yards per game which was second to last in the league although they had good pass protection. The Jets added another piece to their passing game adding former Pittsburgh Steeler receiver Santonio Holmes and with a year of NFL experience behind him and more time their #1 option Braylon Edwards, the Jets will open up their conservative offense that showed signs of big play potential in last year's playoff run.

The Jets may made a questionable move in their running game by releasing their leading rusher Thomas Jones who was a durable back that produced 1,402 yards. This year the Jets will turn the reins over to second year running back Shonn Greene and future hall of famer LaDainian Tomlinson from the Chargers to replace Jones. The Jets have a great offensive line so this shouldn't be much of a risk if Greene can stay healthy and with offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer calling the plays, this could be the final piece in the Jets winning the Super Bowl.
