AFC East

1. Buffalo Bills (1 Seed)
2. New England Patriots
3. New York Jets
4. Miami Dolphins

The Bills should continue to dominate the AFC East. They have one of the best QBs in the league and are so much better than every team in the division. Their schedule also is particularly easy this year. As a Pats fan I will say the Patriots are being overrated. I think they will take massive strides but are still a year away way from making the postseason. The Jets have talent but seem to be lost as a franchise. Someone may need to give them a map because they’ve been lost for almost 60 years. If Justin Fields plays well they shouldn’t be too terrible, if he doesn’t then yikes. The Dolphins have some offensive talent but they look like a team that might implode. It seems like Mike McDaniels is not that respected by his players and that there is a lot of inner turmoil. If things go wrong, people may get fired and the team may have to completely rebuild.

AFC North

1. Baltimore Ravens (3 Seed)
2. Cincinnati Bengals (6 Seed)
3. Pittsburgh Steelers
4. Cleveland Browns

This is a solid division all around. The Ravens have one of the best rosters in the NFL and are prime contenders. The Bengals have their share of problems defensively and off the field, but their offense is just too good to miss the playoffs back to back years if they are healthy. The Steelers continue to be stuck in No Man’s Land. They will probably just miss out on the playoffs. The Browns just suck. They have no direction and will be in contention for the number 1 pick.

AFC South

1. Houston Texans (4 Seed)
2. Jacksonville Jaguars
3. Indianapolis Colts
4. Tennessee Titans

A poor division outside of the Texans who should pretty easily win it. The Jags have some talent but this franchise always seems to disappoint. The Colts are not in a good place right now. The Titans have potential but are at ground zero of a full on rebuild.

AFC West

1. Kansas City Chiefs (2 Seed)
2. Denver Broncos (5 seed)
3. Los Angeles Chargers (7 Seed)
4. Las Vegas Raiders

The Chiefs are a dynasty and I will pick them to win the division until another teams proves me wrong. The Broncos have great coach, solid QB on a rookie deal, and great defense. They should be able to get the 5 seed. Chargers are dealing with injuries but have the coaching and talent to make the playoffs. The Raider will be solid, but can’t contend in this division.

AFC Playoffs

Wild Card Round

• 1 BUF: Bye
• 2 KC vs 7 LAC: 2 KC wins
• 3 BAL vs 6 CIN: 3 BAL wins
• 4 HOU vs 5 DEN: 5 DEN wins

Divisional Round

• 1 BUF vs 5 DEN: 1 BUF wins

• 1 BUF vs 2 KC: 1 BUF wins AFC

Final AFC Thoughts: 

The AFC is loaded with potential Hall of Fame QBs. I think one of them – Josh Allen- finally leads his team past Kansas City into the Super Bowl. The Chiefs cannot dominate forever and I believe Buffalo’s time is now.
