Prediction NE 13-3 MIA 9-7 NYJ 7-9 BUF 6-10

Miami will struggle mightily this season, as the age of their defense is definitely a concern. They are starting to resemble an East Coast Oakland. I anticipate injuries, and they will be costly. Offensive line and wide receiver are a concern as well, and Trent Green is not enough to defy poor drafting and personnel moves.
The Bills seem to be improving, and as long as their offense stays consistent I see them as an eight win team. They are still a few years away, but this team could go somewhere in the future.
The Jets are also a team on the rise, and in a few years I see this division as a two team race between this team and the Bills. That is, of course, depending on how Pennington's health stands up and how successful the team is in grooming a successor. This year, they are a potential wild card team and could challenge the Pats for the division.
The Pats are my pick, for the division and the conference, but with a bit of unsuredness. On paper, they are loaded. But the quality of player, or character of player, has been called into question this year with pickups like Moss, Stallworth, and Merriweather. Being from New Orleans, I saw first hand how during the Haslett era, taking a guy only for his athletic prowess could backfire, as for years teams repeatedly stated how the Saints are so talented,but something is just missing. What was missing was guys putting the team before themselves, as there were numerous off-field incidents and disruptions that negatively impacted the team. The potential is there in New England this year, but I am giving Belichik the benefit of the doubt given his track record.

I think this will be close, but had to go with the Pats.

voted New England, don't see how they could not win it. Even at 9 -7 (a bad season by NE standards) wins this division.
