The Buffalo Bills remain the favorites to win the AFC East, despite the offseason hype surrounding the New York Jets. According to odds, the Bills have a +120 chance of winning the division, followed by the Jets at +270, the Miami Dolphins at +300, and the New England Patriots at +800.

While the Jets made headlines by acquiring future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers in a trade, the Bills have dominated the AFC East for the past three seasons. They put an end to the Patriots’ reign of 11 consecutive division titles and are vying for a fourth-straight division crown.

However, the Bills have yet to secure a Super Bowl victory, with quarterback Josh Allen leading the team to the AFC Championship only once. With a current record of 4-4 in the playoffs, the Bills are hungering for their shot at the big game.

Despite their strong track record, the Bills face challenges ahead with a tough schedule and a win total of 10.5. They will play four non-divisional road games against playoff teams from last season, including the Cincinnati Bengals, Philadelphia Eagles, Kansas City Chiefs, and Los Angeles Chargers.

On the other hand, the Jets, led by Rodgers, have hopes of shedding their “LOL Jets” reputation and making a playoff push. With a win total of 9.5, the Jets have improved their offense with veterans like wide receivers Allen Lazard and Mecole Hardman, and the addition of All-Pro running back Dalvin Cook via free agency. While their offensive line remains a concern, the Jets have the talent to compete for the division title.

As for the Miami Dolphins, their success rests on the health of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. After suffering multiple concussions last season, Tagovailoa’s status hangs in the balance. If he can stay injury-free, the Dolphins possess a strong roster, including dynamic wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. However, any setbacks could result in a challenging season for Miami.

The New England Patriots, under the guidance of head coach Bill Belichick, experienced a rough transition after Tom Brady’s departure. However, with the hiring of former offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien, the Patriots hope to revitalize their offense. Quarterback Mac Jones, who endured trade rumors during the offseason, will lead the team for another season. With a win total of 6.5, the Patriots’ strong defense gives them a chance to exceed expectations.

Ultimately, the race for the AFC East crown will be an exciting one to watch. While the Bills currently hold the upper hand, the Jets, Dolphins, and Patriots are all hungry to dethrone them. As the season progresses, it will become clearer which team will emerge victorious.
