A win-and-in wonderland for Jets

It’s all there for the taking for the Jets tonight.

A win over the 10-5 Bengals in the final game played at Giants Stadium and the 8-7 Jets will qualify for the playoffs for the first time since 2006.

A loss and they’re out of the postseason for the third consecutive season.

The house is guaranteed to be rocking with Jets fans trying to will the home team into the playoffs.

“This is the start of a new Jets, not the same old Jets where we just finish the regular season out and everyone goes home on vacation,” cornerback Darrelle Revis said.

“Our whole mindset is at around 11:30 or 12 [tonight], we want to be in the playoffs,” defensive end Marques Douglas said.

All week, coach Rex Ryan has pushed every possible button to emphasize to the players what a special house party this can be with a Jets’ win.

“Rex said this is very special, that a lot of people don’t get to the playoffs at all, and when you have a chance to get there you, have to take advantage of it,” safety Kerry Rhodes said.

Here’s how we see it breaking down:

MARQUEE MATCHUP

Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco vs. Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis. Ochocinco leads the Bengals with 72 catches and nine touchdowns, and he leads the NFL in Twitter posts. Revis, who has six interceptions and leads the NFL in passes defensed, has shut down every receiver he has faced this season. This matchup is worth the price of admission.

REST AREA?

One of key subplots to the game is how Bengals coach Marvin Lewis decides to play things. Will he play the starters the entire game or rest them? What happens in the 1 p.m. New England-Houston game could determine that. A Patriots win would leave the Bengals locked in at the No. 4 seed with no incentive to go all out. Also, a Jets’ win almost certainly means the Bengals will play host to the Jets in a wild-card game next weekend. Does Lewis want to show the Jets his best stuff in a game that has no consequence in the standings?

RUSH HOUR

The offenses of the Jets and Bengals consist of meat-and-potatoes running games, so look for the clock to keep moving in this game. The Jets, ranked

No. 1 in the NFL in rushing, have run the ball an NFL-high 550 times, 148 more rushes than their opponents. The Bengals have run the ball 145 more times than their opponents.

RUN DOWN

On the other side of the ball, the Bengals’ run defense, ranked No. 2 in the NFL, allowing only 87.7 yards per game, is the toughest test the Jets’ running game, which averages 166.6 yards per game, has faced this season. The Bengals’ health on the front seven is a potential edge for the Jets. Starting end Robert Geathers (knee) and tackle Tank Johnson (foot) have been limited in practice all week, as had starting safety Chris Crocker (ankle). And the Bengals lost starting linebacker Rey Maualuga to a broken ankle last week. That’s a possible four starters out.

KICKING AND SCREAMING

If it’s a close game, two of the NFL’s most accurate kickers will be on the field — Jay Feely, who is 27-of-33 on field goals this season for the Jets, and Cincinnati’s Shayne Graham, who is 23-of-28. Jets special teams coach Mike Westhoff called Graham, who is fourth all-time in field-goal percentage (85.22) one of the most “underrated” kickers in the league.

RETURN TO SENDER

The Bengals bring two formidable rookie kick returners to the game — Quan Cosby, who averages 11.2 yards on punt returns, and Bernard Scott, who averages 30.7 yards on kickoffs and has a 96-yarder for a TD. For the Jets, Brad Smith (32.2-yard average) has become a force on kickoffs, highlighted by his 106-yard return last week.

NUMBER TO KNOW

187. Points the Jets’ defense has allowed in 15 games this season, an average of just 12.5 points per game.

FOE FACT

Just four NFL teams have committed more penalties than the Bengals’ 107.

JETS FACT

Just two teams have allowed more returns for touchdowns than the seven the Jets have yielded.

CANNIZZARO’S CALL

The belief here is that the Bengals will not go all-out to win this game. Look for the Jets defense to make an early statement, for Mark Sanchez and the offense to stay conservative and for the Jets to pull away in the end.
