PLEASE READ BELOW
Each answer is independent and will have two different AFC teams. It will resolve "YES" if one of the teams makes the playoffs, and the other team doesn't. It will resolve "NO" if both teams make the playoffs or neither team makes the playoffs. You do not need to specify which of the teams you think will be in and which will be out.
Feel free to add any combination that does not already exist (even if one of the teams is already there, or even there multiple times). However I am banning from the start the following AFC teams from being submitted (and would resolve an answer containing a team on the banned list as of the submission as "N/A"):
Banned List
Baltimore Ravens (Clinched Playoffs)
Miami Dolphins (Clinched Playoffs)
Kansas City Chiefs (Clinched Playoffs)
Cleveland Browns (Clinched Playoffs)
Cincinnati Bengals (Mathematically Eliminated)
Las Vegas Raiders (Mathematically Eliminated)
Denver Broncos (Mathematically Eliminated)
Los Angeles Chargers (Mathematically Eliminated)
Tennessee Titans (Mathematically Eliminated)
New York Jets (Mathematically Eliminated)
New England Patriots (Mathematically Eliminated)
I reserve the right to remove or add a team from the banned list (but will announce it). A team will be automatically added to the Banned List if they clinch the playoffs or are mathematically eliminated (any existing entries will remain live and would not resolve N/A).
Each answer is independent and will only resolve as "YES" if ONE AND ONLY ONE of the two teams listed in an answer make the playoffs. Otherwise will resolve "NO".
I wanted to make a market that allowed people to flex their ability of knowing team schedule correlations (especially with the incestuous cluster of AFC North and South teams playing each other), and tiebreaker scenarios.
I will try to resolve individual submissions as soon possible once both one team clinches a playoff spot and the other is eliminated, even before the end of the regular season (or both are eliminated, or clinch).
I am waiving my normal policy to not bet on my own markets, as this one seems too fun, but will never bet based on banned list changes.

Going into Week 17:
Las Vegas Raiders (make sure to not say Oakland, however if you say Oakland I will allow it and delete duplicates) are off the banned list, and the Denver Broncos are on the banned list.
The list of following results (after the game ends) immediately will put a team onto the banned list (and any question added the final result (if there is a pairing) afterward with be N/A):
Bengals loss to Chiefs AND Steelers loss to Seahawks puts the Cincinnati Bengals on the Banned List (12/31 4:25pm)
Raiders loss to Colts puts the Raiders on the Banned List (12/31 1pm)
Colts, Texans, Jaguars, (even Bills) require too much for me to lay out the scenarios, even if some effectively eliminate them. Bans for them will be manual.
Likewise, a Broncos win generally requires other things for them to be removed from the Banned list, and will be manual
@StopPunting
Also, forgot to add the Cleveland Browns to the Banned List, effective now.
@JoshuaWilkes nice to get it in 🤣
Week 16:
I have removed the Jacksonville Jaguars from the banned list (sorry for not seeing this earlier).
A Steelers or Broncos loss on Saturday will move them to the Banned list (as soon as it happens).
A Raiders victory might remove them from the Banned list depending on other results (I'll declare when). A Jaguars victory might re-add them to the Banned list depending on other results (I'll declare when).
The Miami Dolphins will be removed from the Banned List with a loss to the Jets next week (even if I'm slow to update the description right after the 1pm loss, consider them unbanned).
Also, I am officially putting the Los Angeles Chargers on the banned list. All current answers with them are valid to bet on (and will resolve YES/NO, not N/A), but you cannot add them as a part of a new answer.
The Jacksonville Jaguars are currently on my watchlist to be removed from the Banned List. A loss to the Ravens would likely put them in play.
