NFL Crystal Ball: We The AFC East

Dude...

The best division in football is clearly the AFC east. Three of the quarterbacks in this division are top nine in MVP future bets, Josh Allen +700 (3rd), Aaron Rodgers +1600 (7th) and Tua Tagovailoa +1800 (9th). This division has seen a lot of turnover this season with the aforementioned former NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers has joined the New York Jets, former Super Bowl champion and All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey joining the Miami Dolphins. This division has a surplus of talent and all four teams can compete for a playoff spot and ultimately a Super Bowl Championship.

New York Jets

Record: 13-4

J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets, the New York Jets are back, baby! With the Offensive and Defensive rookies of the year from last season (wide receiver Garrett Wilson and cornerback Sauce Gardner) looking even better throughout camp and the pre-season and returning running back Breece Hall after his knee injury. This team was going to be better before all of their additions. Who may that be, you ask? Only All-Pro running back Dalvin Cook, former Packers receivers Allen Lazard and Randell Cobb and former Super Bowl MVP and 4x NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers. The biggest hurdle facing the Jets this season is their schedule, Kansas City, Dallas, Philadelphia and Buffalo all in the first 6 weeks is a murderous row. If they can come out at least .500 they’ll be tough to stop come Christmas time.

Buffalo Bills

Record: 11-6

After being the second seed in the AFC last year the Buffalo Bills were primed to make a Super Bowl, and they still are. Losing defensive coordinator Lesile Frazier this team could take half-step back. Even with mostly the same roster and the return of Von Miller this team should still be one of the best in the NFL.

Miami Dolphins

Record: 10-7

Miami had one of the best offensive seasons in team history last year and with a revamped run game second year Head Coach Mike McDaniel, they should have the same explosive offense. With the addition of defensive coordinator Vic Fangio and Jalen Ramsey the Dolphins have a really good team and will go as far as Tua Tagovailoa takes them.

New England Patriots

Record: 7-10

How the mighty have fallen, since Tom Brady left the Patriots have lacked the coaching and quarterback play to field a contender, even with one of the most accomplished coaches in history. Bill Belichick has brought back Bill O’Brian to help Mac Jones play his best but with how good the rest of the division is, this will be one of Bill’s toughest seasons since he took over the Pats in 2000.
