Part 2 is the AFC East. Brady's back, Sanchez has taken Manhattan, TO's in Buffalo and the Dolphins will try to hold defend Land Shark. Who will come out on top?
1. New England Patriots (11-5): This is all on Tom Brady. He has the same weapons as a team that just two season ago went 16-0. His arm is fine, his legs look good and he wants to replant himself as the league's best QB. I predict the Pats ride the super-powered offense to the AFC East title, sweeping the Bills and Jets along the way.
2. Miami Dolphins (7-9): I really wanted to give the Dolphins more wins than this, but their schedule just looks too difficult. While I still think they could be a pleasant surprise like last year, I don't see year two of the Pennington Regime going as well as year one did. Don't be surprised if that other Chad, Mr. Henne, is getting starts in late November.
3. New York Jets (7-9): A rule of thumb is usually to bet against rookie QBs. Last year Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco both made the playoffs. They were, however, surrounded by excellent teams. The Jets are a good team, but suspensions and a lack of game-breaking WRs will cause them to come up just short. Still, 7-9 for a rookie QB and rookie Coach is not bad at all. Watch out AFC in 2010.
4. Buffalo Bills (6-10): TO is great. The receivers are great. Trent Edwards is really good. The defense is even better than average. But then there is a suspended Marshawn Lynch and a non-existent offensive line. The schedule isn't as bad as it could be, but there are only a few gimme wins (Tampa, KC and Cleveland). Looks like another long year in the frozen north.
