There are always some teams flying high after two weeks that are sure to come crashing to reality before too long. Are there any of the current 2-0 teams that you think will not be playoff bound.

Teams currently 2-0,

Patriots
Jets
Bills
Texans
Redskins
Lions
Packers


It all depends on the three main contenders in the AFC North and if Tennessee and/or Jacksonville can challenge in the South (Jags certainly didn't look like it last week), but I'm not sure more than 1 team makes it out of the East, then again, I could see all three East teams in. Obviously, if I were a betting man, my AFC money would be on the Bills, and my NFC money would be on the Redskins.

Bills have an uphill climb because of the Jets and Patriots. If the Bills pull off the upset against the Pats and can split with the Jets they could potentially make it in with their easier schedule but I'm not seeing it.

Redskins are in a similar situation...don't see them making it, I think they end up with 8 or 9 wins.

Lions look real good but they've played nobody. It would be a huge leap after all those losing seasons to make the playoffs. They have an easy schedule but I'm not completely convinced yet that they're for real.

If the Texans don't make it this year then Gary Kubiak is done in Houston. No Peyton Manning in the division, Jags are now going with a rookie QB (who I don't think is ready) and the Titans have a new coach who will make mistakes this year as well as a QB that's on social security....it's now or never for the Texans.

I think it ends up being the Bills and Redskins. The Lions are the second best team in their division right now. Chicago can't protect Cutler, and the Vikings are a solid first half team who can't close right now.
