NFL Playoff Picture: New York Jets and AFC Frauds That Will Be Exposed

The AFC always looks like the better conference on paper, but that just isn’t the case this season. The AFC playoff picture looks bleak.

With so many pretenders infiltrating the ranks of playoff teams, the AFC playoffs will be filled with lopsided losses for the following teams.

If you are a fan of any of the teams on this list, brace yourself for sadness—but don’t blame me, because I speak the truth. I just call it how I see it.

New York Jets

The New York Jets were trounced by the Philadelphia Eagles this week, and their ailments that cost them earlier in the season cost them again.

If New York wants a chance at the playoffs, they need to start showing that they can beat winning teams. Every big game the Jets have faced this season has turned into an utter disappointment.

If New York doesn’t get their ship turned around and still find themselves in the playoffs, they will be embarrassed on the national stage.

Houston Texans

Without a quarterback, the Houston Texans have no real chance of making a run in the playoffs this season.

As great as Arian Foster and the offensive line are in Houston, when there is no threat of a pass attack, the opponent can just stack the box and play man on the edges.

As good as the Texans looked at one point during this season, the injuries will be too much to overcome.

At least you got into the playoffs, Houston fans!

Baltimore Ravens

While the 10-3 Baltimore Ravens record may have most fans fooled, their record does not measure the chances they have of advancing in the playoffs.

With Ray Lewis less than 100 percent and older, the defense that once struck fear into the hearts of teams is just doing well enough to get by.

The real problems in Baltimore fall at the feet of the offense and their consistent inconsistency. The only thing that you can come to expect from the Baltimore Ravens is that your predictions will be wrong.
