AFC East Predictions: Aaron Rodgers Is The Difference-Maker

1. New York Jets (10-7)*

2. Buffalo Bills (10-7)*

3. Miami Dolphins (10-7)*

4. New England Patriots (8-9)

Go ahead and iron your pitchforks because I assume not a single AFC East fan will be happy with this prediction.

The New York Jets winning the division? Maybe I’m just drinking the ayahuasca-laced drink Aaron Rodgers handed me, but I am buying the hype. The roster is deep, and the four-time NFL MVP aims to prove he was the missing link. But it won’t be easy.

The Bills and Dolphins, both coming off postseason berths, check in at No. 2 and 3, respectively, albeit with a tiebreaker being the only thing separating the top three squads. I predict all three make the playoffs, so the order is merely semantics.

Sorry, Patriots fans. Someone had to bring up the rear.
