AFC East
DF: New York Jets
This is possibly the hardest division to predict. Buffalo has won the AFC East three years in a row, and has won at least 11 games each year. Miami has a ton of talent on both sides of the ball and expects to win the division if Tua remains healthy. The Jets are now led by Aaron Rodgers and recently signed Dalvin Cook to bolster the backfield. New England will be feisty. I may be caught in the moment, but I’m riding with Rodgers and the new-look Jets.
HA: Miami Dolphins
While the Jets and Bills are getting much of the publicity this offseason, the Dolphins are going under-the-radar. Losing Jalen Ramsey was a blow, but the star CB is expected to return at some point. But, what separates this team is their efficiency on the offensive end. Tua Tagovailoa was one of the most potent quarterbacks in the league last year when healthy. Defenses don’t really have an answer for the WR tandem of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.
JF: Buffalo Bills
The Bills haven’t really evolved its roster too much other than nabbing talented TE Dalton Kincaid out of Utah. With that said, even if there are some warts when it comes to rushing the passer, we come back to the same point over and over again: Josh Allen really is that good. He’s the best quarterback in the division, and has been a lock for double-digit win totals over the last few years. Until he’s knocked off that perch, we generally believe that the Allen-Stefon Diggs connection will lead this team to yet another division crown. There are too many questions surrounding the lack of talent in New England, the lack of continuity in New York, and the injury issues up front in Miami.
