2011 NFL Schedule: Who Has the Easier Sked, Patriots or Jets?

The 2011 NFL Schedule is out.

Time to see which one of the top two AFC East rivals have the upper hand in terms of winning the division.

The Jets start the season with a home game against the Dallas Cowboys on the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy. So that game should be filled with emotion, tributes and hopefully great play. 

Most people assumed it would be the Giants that the Jets would be playing that day, but those two teams won't meet until Christmas Eve.

Before their bye week, the Jets play at Baltimore Ravens and at New England in back to back weeks, but then close out the first half with home games against Miami and San Diego.

The second half of the season seems considerably easier with only a visit to Philadelphia as the one game that they might not be favored.

The Patriots on the other hand end the first half with a game against the Cowboys, before going through a four game stretch after the break against Steelers, Giants, Jets and Chiefs.

The two teams meet on October 9th in New England and then November 13th in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

At first glance I would say that the Jets have the inside track to grab the AFC East as far as schedules go.
