NFL Predictions: New York Jets 2010 Predictions, Schedule, Odds …

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 17:00:58 +0000

New York Jets 2010 NFL Preview, Schedule, Odds, and Predictions: the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, and in this case it landed in the big Apple. Rex Ryan, son of former Philadelphia Eagles Coach Buddy Ryan who was an aggressive defensive coach, landed last year with the New York Jets and started making big predictions. he still is, but last year cards fell in place, starting in Indianapolis when they rested their starters, then again the same with Cincinnati. Boom, the Jets made the playoffs and were 23 minutes away from going to the Super Bowl. this year, Vegas oddsmakers have the New York Jets as +950 odds to win the 2011 Super Bowl and Ryan is predicting a championship this year!

Head football coach Rex Ryan is brash and bold, but so far he has been able to back it up with a very successful campaign. he has accumulated the right staff to keep it going. Brian Schottenheimer (offense), Mike Pettine (defense) and Mike Westhoff (special teams) are all strong coordinators and will likely be head coaching candidates in the future. the staff and management have been aggressive off the field as well adding key pieces to continue the momentum they established late last season. the odds makers at BookMaker have the New York Jets listed at +500 odds to win the 2010 AFC Championship.

Offensively the Jets had the number one rushing attack in the NFL and let go their two leading rushers and still plan to use coach Ryan’s Ground and Pound philosophy. Shonn Greene ran for 540 yards on 108 carries for a 5.0-yard average and had a great playoff with 2 100+ yard games and the free agent signing of future hall of famer LaDainian Tomlinson gives them another strong duo. Quarterback Mark Sanchez, who had a so so rookie year that was successful but not very good statistically, will be given a bigger role this year. he has some weapons as the Jets kept Braylon Edwards and acquired Santonio Holmes from the Steelers on the cheap, mostly because of off-field problems and a four-game suspension for drug usage. the Vegas odds makers have the New York Jets listed at -105 odds to win the 2010 AFC East.

Defensively this is Coach Ryan’s specialty. the hold out of shut down corner Darrelle Revis will be a problem if it is not resolved by the regular season, although it looks as if it will. As insurance the Jets drafted Wilson Kyle a cornerback out of Boise State in the first round. they also signed free agent Jason Taylor away from rival Miami. the odds makers at BookMaker have the New York Jets middle number listed at over/under 9 1/2 wins for the 2010 NFL regular season.

Expectations are high and the Jets got a lot of breaks at the end of last season to give them the confidence they carried through the playoffs. Watch for Sanchez to have a sophomore slump and the team to struggle toward the end of the season. I pick them to finish 9-7 and end up as a wildcard playoff team and second in the AFC East to the surprising Miami Dolphins. get more 2010 NFL Predictions from the top-ranked NFL handicappers in the country at NSAwins.com throughout the NFL season!

Kinect unveiled at Microsoft E3 preview | Technology | guardian.co.uk

Kinect controller for Microsoft’s Xbox 360

Microsoft has finally unveiled the real name of its motion sensing video game device, previously known as Project Natal: Kinect.

Kinect, which plugs into the Xbox 360 console, uses a video camera and an infrared sensor to track the players’ actions and convert them into onscreen movement.

Microsoft showed clips from several Kinect games during a lavish pre-E3 2010 event at The University of California’s enormous Galen Center, including an athletics sim in which participants run and jump to compete in the hurdles, throw an imaginary javelin, and play football with kicking actions. There was also a yoga simulation, some white-water rafting, and a dancing tuition game, which gets users to perform a series of steps and moves in time with licensed pop tracks.

Several Kinect games will be closely compatible with social networking sites Twitter and Facebook, allowing users to send screenshots of themselves playing the games to friends and family members. Microsoft has so far delayed providing a retail price for the device, but has scheduled a release date for this autumn, and is expected to support the launch with a redesigned slimline version of the Xbox 360 console.

Kinect is an attempt to complete directly with the massively successful Nintendo Wii console, which has now sold around 70m units, 30m more than the Xbox 360. Wii technology allows players to control games by waving and shaking a special controller, but Kinect goes one step further, by removing the need for any sort of handheld input.

Once considered a transitory pursuit for teenage boys, gaming has now become a mainstream entertainment medium, with games like Wii Fit, Rock Band and Professor Layton and the Curious Village attracting a vast new family audience. so far, however, these so-called casual gamers have been put off by the Xbox, with its reliance on hardcore shooters like Gears of War and Halo. But Microsoft didn’t completely ignore its traditional audience at the event; perhaps the loudest cheer of the night erupted when a demo was shown of a Kinect-compatible Star Wars game, in which players will be able to flail their arms around in order to compete in lightsabre duels with Darth Vader and his Storm Troopers.

Kinect is likely to enjoy a multi-million pound marketing push in the run up to Christmas – but Microsoft is not alone in its desire to steal Nintendo’s audience. Sony is set to provide the PlayStation 3 console with its own motion controller, named PlayStation Move. The wand-like device, which more closely resembles the Wii’s remote controller, is also due out in the autumn, putting it in direct competition with Kinect.

The Kinect announcement is also set to be only one of many video game revelations this week. Today sees the beginning of the E3 games exhibition at the LA Convention centre, an annual event in which all the major games industry companies show off their new releases to thousands of journalists, bloggers and game fans who’ve been able to blag their way into the trade-only bonanza. The big games are likely to be first-person shooters Halo: Reach and Killzone 3, historical assassination adventure Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, and the intriguingly dark Disney title, Epic Mickey.

Some pundits, however, reckon the focus of the three-day exhibition could be another emerging technology: 3D visuals. Nintendo will be showing its new 3D capable handheld console, the Nintendo 3DS, while Sony is expected to have a selection of 3D-compatible PlayStation titles on show, including the long-awaited driving sim, Gran Turismo 5. This year, it’s perhaps not about what we’re going to play, it’s about HOW we’re going to play: by jumping about, or by putting on a pair of special glasses and revelling in three-dimensional graphics. One thing is clear, after the massive investment Sony and Microsoft have put into their respective consoles, neither is in a hurry to announce a new platform just yet.

The audience at the launch event was also treated to an astonishing performance by Cirque du Soleil, who used dance, lights and special effects to communicate Microsoft’s brand vision – a far cry from the usual recipe of awkward upper ranking execs lurking on stage while game demos play to deafening rock music. Unfortunately, the impact of the event was slightly undermined when an Italian advert for the Xbox 360 was put online too early, revealing the new name for Natal hours before the official announcement. although the ad was quickly withdrawn, news of the blunder spread across Twitter in a matter of minutes.
