A Unique look at the AFC Playoff Picture
This table is from the website playoffstatus.com as you can see it labels the percentage chance each team in the AFC has at a particular playoff seed as well as the chance they do not qualify for the playoffs at all. From reading this chart it looks as though the Jets have to win the division and cannot count on a Wild Card spot being there should they fall short of the division crown. Check out the % chance of the Jets NOT making the playoffs at all. Scary, huh? I will post this chart weekly until the end of the season.
