Jets vs Colts has to be the most major upset.

Although living in Wisconsin and a huge Packer fan, I liked to watch the AFL. They were a lot more wide open than NFL teams. I knew the Jets had a good team, and Namath was a better QB than anything the Colts had...including Unitas who was fading at the time.

A lot of my friends dismissed the AFL, and all the...uh...experts picked the Colts to win by a big number. That might have the best I've felt from watching a non-Wisconsin sports team win. Didn't like the Colts...they were too good.

Jets, tremendously overrated. If they played a 14 game season between themselves, Colts win 12 times. I always looked to watch Namath play and “thrill me”, never really did. He was a two hit wonder with, only that many games where he excelled. Now George Blanda, he was awesome in his heyday, Daryl Lamonica, John Hadl, and Greg Cook in the later years.
