Tiers are kind of in order but not really.
Tier 1: Proven playoff winners
Bills, Bengals, Chiefs
Tier 2: Good shot at making the playoffs
Ravens, Chargers, Titans, Broncos, Raiders
Tier 3: playoff hopefuls
Browns, Dolphins, Colts, Patriots, Steelers
Tier 4: doo doo
Jete, Jags, Texans
Crazy to think that at least 1 (and probably more) of those teams in the first 2 tiers will miss the playoffs.
