TECMO'S RANDOM IMPRESSIONS
Tecmo's strongest impression is that the Steelers are going to come out with a preposterously conservative game plan, and the Jets are going to come out bombs away. No points for guessing which strategy proves more effective.
Tecmo strongly believes that Shaun Suisham will miss a chip-shot field goal, and the Steelers will likely promptly collapse like Greg Norman on Sunday as soon as that happens.
Ben Roethlisberger did not throw a single interception the entire five simulations, and was only sacked an average of once a game.
Mark Sanchez threw five interceptions in the bizarre first simulation, but only one the rest of the way. So there will be few interceptions, but Tecmo believes the Steelers are going to lose a couple of crucial fumbles. In other words, Tecmo expects the horseshoe that's been up the Jets' butt for the past two years to remain there.
One or both of the Jets' big two receivers is going to have a huge day.
If anybody picks off Sanchez, it will be the guy with the hair.
AND THE ENVELOPE, PLEASE...
Jets' scores: 14, 27, 31, 21, 14
Steelers' scores: 31, 24, 14, 12, 17
Jets' mean score: 21
Steelers' mean score: 20
Jets' median score: 21
Steelers' median score: 17
TECMO'S PREDICTION: The New York Jets win the AFC Championship, 21 to 19.
