AFC East is Wide Open
Few divisions in football odds, if any, are as competitive this year as the AFC East. From 1-4, no other conference can say that any one of its teams has a shot at winning the division. And that should make for some very interesting NFL football odds as the season progresses.
In a strange twist of fate, the defending division champs, the Miami Dolphins, are actually a better team this year but are pegged to finish last in the division this year. A terribly difficult schedule plus the vast improvement of the other division rivals makes it a tough road to hoe for Miami. But still, they’re by no means out of the NFL odds hunt and it’s not impossible that they could repeat as champs.
The Pats were the earlier season favorites to run this division but after a Week two beat down from the Jets this team looks shaky for the first time in years. The football odds seem to get slimmer and slimmer with every game that they dominate this division.
One team on the rise is the New York Jets. A new coach, a new QB, a possessed defense and all of sudden there’s Super Bowl talk at the Meadowlands that doesn’t revolve around the Giants. From what we’ve seen so far this team is likely the NFL football odds favorite to take the division. Through two weeks of play it’s been of the top three teams in the NFL.
But the Bills will have a say in the battle for the AFC East crown and could be the Jets stiffest competition. A much more mature offense combined with an improved defensive scheme makes this a very dangerous team and possibly a division winner.
