The Jets might have only won 14 games in the past three seasons, but Adam Gase has made it clear to his team that he came here to topple the Patriots.<doc-sep>The NFL has released its 2019 regular-season schedule. Here's a look at what's in store for the New York Jets: Game-by-game prediction Jets reporter Rich Cimini is predicting an 8-8 finish: Sept. 8: vs. Buffalo, Win Sept. 16: vs. Cleveland, Win Sept. 22: at New England, Loss Oct. 6: at Philadelphia, Loss Oct. 13: vs. Dallas, Win Oct. 21: vs. New England, Loss Oct. 27: at Jacksonville, Loss Nov. 3: at Miami, Win Nov. 10: vs. N.Y.

What's more, they will face a pair of second-year quarterbacks and a rookie coach. New defensive coordinator Gregg Williams has to be excited about this, knowing he can unleash his exotic blitz packages against the Bills' Josh Allen and the Browns' Baker Mayfield. Williams should have plenty of intel on Mayfield, considering he was the Browns' interim coach last season. The Browns will be improved, but they still will be sorting things out under new coach Freddie Kitchens. This is a good time to catch them. Another early season plus for the Jets: They have only one plane trip in the season's first seven weeks -- a quick flight to New England. They will travel to Philadelphia via bus or train. Prime-time Jets After signing marquee names such as running back Le'Veon Bell in free agency, the Jets once again have mass appeal. They have three prime-time games, two more than last season. The first two, both at home, are terrific matchups -- the Browns (Monday night) and the Patriots (Monday night) in Week 7. On Day 1 of the offseason program, Gase told the team "one of the main reasons" he took the job was to dethrone the Patriots, linebacker C.J. Mosley said Wednesday. The Browns-Jets game features the return of Odell Beckham Jr. to MetLife Stadium. Who knows? Maybe he will pick a fight with a kicking net, for old time's sake. Another headline is the quarterback matchup, Sam Darnold versus Mayfield. The game will mark the 50th anniversary of Monday Night Football, which began with a Jets-Browns contest on Sept. 21, 1970. The final prime-time affair is a road game against the Ravens (Thursday night) in Week 15. Tough finish Gase said recently it's "realistic" for the Jets to be in the playoff conversation at the start of December. There's no excuse not to be. Their middle of the schedule is ultra soft, as they play seven consecutive games against teams that finished with losing records in 2018. Ah, but the finish is nasty, with the Ravens and Steelers in Weeks 15 and 16, respectively. The good news is they will have a mini-bye (because of the Thursday night game) before Pittsburgh. Emotions will be high because Bell will be facing his former team for the first time since his bitter divorce. The Jets finish in Buffalo, which can be a tough place to play with a playoff spot at stake (see: 2015).<doc-sep>Leaks of the NFL schedule are pouring out ahead of the 8 p.m. release of the full 2019 schedule tonight.

Jet lag is either a verifiable byproduct of rapid changes in time zone or a convenient excuse dreamed up by travelers to justify sleeping through that early-morning meeting. Either way, it's not something the New York Jets will have to worry about in 2019. This week's much-hyped — even overhyped, maybe? — release of the NFL team-by-team schedules for 2019 already has pundits guessing how the upcoming season will unfold. For the Jets in particular, the schedule features one amazing quirk: Across the entire 16-game season, the Jets will never play a game outside of the Eastern Time Zone. NFL SCHEDULE: Top 10 games of the 2019 season NFL SCHEDULE WINNERS/LOSERS: Breaking down the new slate Second-year quarterback Sam Darnold, first-year head coach Adam Gase and the Jets will face their normal slate of six games against foes from the AFC East. The Jets will also face opponents from the NFC East, on the road against the Redskins and Eagles and at home against the Cowboys and Giants. The Jets will also face the AFC North, traveling to the fringes of Eastern Time with a road trip to Cincinnati, and face Jacksonville on the road. There's one matchup against an opponent from AFC West in the Raiders, but that game is at MetLife Stadium. In all, the Jets will cover 3,917 miles (one-way) in its road games in 2019. In comparison, the New Orleans Saints will go nearly 1,900 miles in its Week 2 matchup at the Los Angeles Rams. Maybe this will be the key to the Jets' season: not having to go outside their comfort (time) zone.
