The video made the rounds and got laughed at quickly: Mark Sanchez believes the Jets will go 13-3 and make the NFL playoffs this season.

Seems ridiculous, right? Especially after 14 wins in the past three seasons for this franchise.

The oddsmakers, at last check, had the Jets as the ninth-most likely AFC team – out of 16 – to make the playoffs in 2019.

And yet, Sanchez isn’t the only NFL pundit that’s starting to buy stock in the Jets now that free agency and the NFL Draft are complete. Apparently the additions of Le’Veon Bell and Quinnen Williams, among others, is making a serious impact.

Count NFL Network’s Nate Burleson and Peter Schrager among the new believers.

How good will the @nyjets be in 2019?



"On paper, the Jets are playoff team in the AFC."

While both pundits recently shot down Sanchez’s prediction – and also minimized the Jets’ chances of topping the Patriots in the AFC East – they also made it quite clear that they think this team will be playing come January.

“That’s a great record and that usually is attached to a great team,” Burleson said. “I don’t feel like they’re a great team right now. I was going through their roster and they trying to figure out what games they can win this season – I think they can win nine or 10 games.”

Schrager was a bit more bold, saying the Jets “should” make the postseason.

But those two aren’t the only pundits jumping aboard the bandwagon; NFL.com writer Dan Hanzus is also bullish on the Jets’ chances.

In fact, he recently ranked the Jets third on a list of teams most likely to snap their playoff drought, behind only the Browns and the Broncos.

“Could the Jets actually be fun to watch this season?" Hanzus wrote. "If so, when’s the last time you could say that? Gang Green and their fans are all in on second-year quarterback Sam Darnold. General manager Mike Maccagnan did a nice job building around the kid.”

To Burleson, the key to the Jets’ 2019 is less about those other pieces Maccagnan added than the one he helped pick to lead the team. The former Lions wide receiver sees the Jets’ new head coach as the potential determining factor.

“It all hinges on the combination of Adam Gase and Sam Darnold,” Burleson said.
