Easy start to the schedule...easy finish to the schedule...very difficult November stretch.  Only 2 of their road games are legitimately lose-able.

Miami Dolphins  (9-7)  8-8 in 2013

Solid team throughout...no real glaring holes except possibly at wide receiver depth.  If Tannehill can continue to improve as he has so far in his career they should be just fine.  Still returning a beastly pass rushing defense with good help over the top.  I think Finnegan will fade back quite a bit...what I think will really hurt this team is the traveling that they need to do in the first month of the season.

New York Jets  (7-9)  8-8 in 2014

I like the improvements they made on the offensive side of the ball with Eric Decker and Chris Johnson...but this is still not a playoff caliber team and 7-9 might be generous.  They lost their defensive anchor with Revis, and there are still major questions at the QB position.  Once you get past Decker and Kerley outside they don't have any depth.  Their strength as always is up the middle, which will keep them in a lot of games.  The good news is that they have 4 of the first 6 at home, and the road games late aren't impossible.

Buffalo Bills  (5-11)  6-10 in 2014

Dropping them down a win after losing their defensive leader Kiko Alonso.  Their offense picked up a stud in Sammy Watkins, but he has had injury issues early on as well.  One of the best defensive lines in the league will keep them in a lot of games, and their defensive backs are pretty solid.  But I don't think they have enough offense to win games, and not enough defensive playmakers to make a big enough difference.  I have them losing 5 or 6 of their road games, and with cold weather Green Bay coming into town in December, the home field advantage is limited.
