The AFC East
A killer teamI am making NFL predictions again.
I promise not to be cute. I promise not to buy into the hype. I'm not going to pretend I know anything about the Kansas City Chiefs or Green Bay Packers.
Despite these promises, it is certain that these predictions will completely fail once the season starts and, for that, I'm sorry. I try.
New York Jets -- 11-5
The Jets added Santonio Holmes. I forgot about this. Add in an existing good team with a coach that has those guys seemingly buying into things. Throw in a couple of creampuff games and their utter ability to drag a good game directly into the mud and yuck of a defensive brouhaha and they'll eke out 11 wins. Beware: The second-year slip and the curse of "Hard Knocks."
New England Patriots -- 10-6
They've got what appears to be a really tough schedule. I hate disbelieving in the Pats. They always find a way to play some defense and score some points. Wes Welker's health is key. And if memory serves me right, wasn't there tension bubbling under with Randy Moss. I don't think its an issue team-wise, but they need him with his head in the game.
Miami Dolphins -- 10-6
Quietly, made two huge improvements: Karlos Dansby at inside linebacker and Brandon Marshall at wide receiver. If Chad Henne is a shell of himself from last season, the Dolphins win 10 games, easy. I like the Dolphins. The New Jersey Con Man has in them in a direction. Whether it's the right direction is in question.
Buffalo Bills -- 3-13
The Bills have one thing going for them: Their top two quarterbacks probably had the highest SAT scores out of every NFL player. They are, by a mile, the worst franchise in the NFL and probably one of the worst in professional sports. Disaster.
