(Someone is bound to pipe in and warn of the risks of traffic between LGA and JFK; yes that's a risk, but not nearly as significant as New Yorkers like to make it out to be.)

So the real questions are, what is your risk tolerance, and what is your Plan B if you miss the connection?
I timed the walk from my AA gate to the Terminal B taxi stand on my last arrival - 6 minutes. (I preferred the "old LGA", too.)
