1. Cincinnatti
1. NY Jets
3. Jacksonville
4. Kansas City
5. Denver
Remainings schedules
Cincinatti: Oakland, @Indianapolis, @Denver, Pittsburgh
Jets: Buffalo, @Minnesota, @Miami, Oakland
Jacksonville: Indianapolis, @Tennessee, New England, @Kansas City
Kansas City: Baltimore, @San Diego, @Oakland, Jacksonville
Denver: @San Diego, @Arizona, San Francisco, Cincinatti
So, looking at that mess...which two teams get in?

Jets have the easiest schedule but are probably the worst team. Bufffalo has played well as of late and two road games against okay opponents could be tough.
Jacksonville is way too inconsistent for me. That Tennessee game has must win let written all over it. Indy and NE are tough games to and if that KC game means something I don't liek the Jags chances in Arrowhead.
KC plays some tough defenses and although Green looked better this week if you cant beat the Browns then I don't pick you to beat the Ravens and Chargers.
That Denver Cincinatti game could decide which one gets in. I think the BEngals are more talented and with a rookie QB for the Donkeys I pick Cinci.
I think that based on their schedule that the Jets could be the other team. they could win all fours of their games and should be favored in each one. Each other team has a much tougher schedule. I think Cinci and Denver are the two best teams, but the switch to Cutler doesn't make me want to bet on Denver.
Jets and Bengals make it.
