What's up fellas? Back for yet another year of the predictions. I love doing this because I know that I will be WAY off on more than a few selections. The big difference with this year is that I am waiting until all the preseason games have been played. A lot of hype coming into the season about big name players and big name teams...so let's get it started!!
AFC EAST
New York Jets 11-5 (11-5 in 2010)
I like the addition of Plaxico Burress strangely enough. I hate the fact that I think the Jets are going to win the division. The defensive line will be the absolute biggest question mark going into the season...as the loss of Taylor and Ellis will be huge. They also benefit from having the AFC West on the schedule this year. Toughest part will be around Thanksgiving where they play the Pats on the Sunday Night before...and then fly to Denver for the Thursday Night game.
New England Patriots 10-6 (14-2 in 2010)
There will be no questions about their offense once again. Brady is the best QB in the league, they have solid depth at RB, 2 very solid TE's, and possibly the best OL in football. The problem is their defense, and specifically their defensive backs or lack thereof. Releasing Brandon Meriweather is a very interesting decision...and I dont like it. Tough schedule as well, most notably coming out of the bye week with the Steelers, Jets, Giants, and then a short week heading into Philly. Still one of the best teams in the league though, there is no doubt about that.
Miami Dolphins 6-10 (7-9 in 2010)
They were a below average team last year...and in the offseason they did absolutely NOTHING to improve their position. As a matter of fact they gave up 1300 yards of rushing production in Williams and Brown which was only good for 21st last season. Chad Henne just doesn't have a lot of options on the offensive side of the ball outside of Brandon Marshall. Not much coming in for the rookie class...I just can't see them getting many wins this year.
Buffalo Bills 5-11 (4-12 in 2010)
Really solid defense once again. They have a decent defensive line, but just couldn't stop the run last year. I love the defensive backs however, and they won't get blown out of many games from what I can see. The reason why I can't bump them up too many wins over last year is because they have to face a bunch of tough running backs and running teams. If Ryan Fitzpatrick can limit his mistakes...they could bump up to 6 wins.
