Strength of the AFC Playoff Pool

[Redz]

The 6 teams battling it out in the AFC in the playoffs this year account for 15 of the last 20 AFC Championship Game participants.  This despite KC and the Jets totaling 1 of those 20 between them.  Over the last decade 9 of 10 Super Bowl reps from the AFC are Indy, the Pats, Steelers and Baltimore.

What this says is, these teams are no strangers to each other, and all of the matchups are huge games.  Really hoping to see the Pats handle the Jets so we can duke it out with either Baltimore of Pittsburgh for a trip back to Bowl. 

1st things first.  Beat the Jets (preferably badly, but I'll settle for any kind of W).

I think 7 Super Bowl victories as well.

Yup.

'00 Ravens
'01 Pats
'03 Pats
'04 Pats
'05 Steelers
'06 Colts
'08 Steelers

AFC of the past decade sure resembles the NFC of the '80s when you had Giants, Redskins, Bears, and 49ers battling it year in & year out. 

Hopefully the AFC will get back a Super Bowl title this year.
