The New York Jets 2012 odds have the franchise at long 6/1 odds to win the AFC East (with New England a huge favorite) and at 11/1 odds to win the 2013 AFC Championship.  Everything seems to hinge on who will ultimately be named the starting quarterback:  Tim Tebow or Mark Sanchez.

It might not even matter as neither quarterback put up particularly good numbers in their first two preseason NFL games. 

The Daily News Manish Mehta broke it down: 

Mark Sanchez's final stats for past 3 wks in Cortland (11on11s): 93 for 179 (52%), 6 TDs (5 pass, 1 rushing in goalline drills), 7 INTs

Upon further review, Tim Tebow actually completed 49.6% of his passes (61 for 123) in 11-on-11s at camp. 5 TDs (2 pass, 3 run), 3 INTs

For now, head coach Rex Ryan fully backs Sanchez. 

"I think Sanchez has absolutely looked terrific," Ryan said during a recent radio appearance with Stephen A. Smith and Ryan Ruocco. "He's throwing the ball as well as I've ever seen him. And I think Tebow's improving in that area. … Defensively, I'm really excited about where the defense is at and a couple of the new guys we brought in, I think, have looked really good for us."
