The AFC East is going to be a great division to watch this year. The New York Jets have gone out and put everything into this season. With the additions added to the Jets, they will be an exciting team to watch. New England will be vying for the top spot once again, led by Tom Brady, Randy Moss, and Bill Belicheck. The Miami Dolphins went out and added Brandon Marshall to give them that ouside threat and make their division odds even higher. The Buffalo Bills went and drafted C.J. Spiller, but seem to lack the aresenal to compete in this very strong division.
Buffalo Bills
- The Buffalo Bills will have an uphill battle this season. The three teams they compete against are beginning to put themselves in a class of their own, while the Bills are beginning their rebuilding process. They picked up C.J. Spiller in the draft would should strengthing their offense, but not enough. The defense is in the process of switching to the 3-4. With them going through rebuilding and their conference being superior, the Buffalo Bills will finish 4-12.Miami Dolphins
- The Miami Dolphins have attempted to compete up with the rest of their division rivals by adding Brandon Marshall to the offense. Chad Henne will be leading the way, and Ronnie Brown will be back in the mix. Where does this leave the Dolphins? This puts them in good position to push for the playoffs after they took a year off last season. They have a mediocre schedule, with their toughest games being in the division. With the additions to the Dolphins, they are able to squeeze out a few more wins than last year. The Miami Dolphins finish 9-7.New England Patriots
- Each and every year it seems the Patriots are involved in the race for the AFC East, and that does not appear to change this year. The Patriots will have a healthy Wes Welker back, Tom Brady under the center, and Randy Moss going deep, this will pose a problem for every team they play. The Patriots have seen the teams in their division inch closer to the talent that the Patriots have. The Patriots have a mediocre schedule in which they should perform well. The Patriots finish 11-5.New York Jets
- The New York Jets have really made a splash this offseason. If they wanted a player, they found a way to get them. They aquired Santonio Holmes, Ladainian Tomlinson, Jason Taylor, and Antonio Cromartie. These additions to an already talented team could put them over the top in the AFC East. This talent and personalities will be great to watch each Sunday, no matter if they win or lose. The Jets have closed the gap on not only the AFC East, but the whole conference as a whole. This season the Jets finish 12-4.AFC East Standings 2010

AFC West Predictions
- Will the Ravens use Ray Rice more than last year. If they do, then they will be very successful. He can run, he can catch, and he can gain tons of yards after first contact. If they use him to his strengths, then he will help Joe Flacco and the passing attack. I think Baltimore is a strong team, with a strong defense, and a better offense than last year, if used correctly. The Ravens play in a strong division, but with the Steelers missing Big Ben, it will be to their advantage. The Ravens finish 11-5
- Last year the Bengals started out strong and slumped near the end of the season. The question is, "who are the real Bengals?". I think the Bengals we saw near the end of the 2009 season is the Bengals we will see in 2010. They play a real tough schedule, against some teams who have bettered themselves. In order to make the playoffs this seasons, then they will need to pull of some upsets. The Bengals finish 6-10.
- Cleveland has put a rest to the controversy at quaterback, that they have had for years. With the addition of Jake Delhomme, they have bettered their chances within the division. I still do not think it is enough. They have made progress, but they will need to make a few more moves after the 2010 season to be able to compete. Cleveland has a tough schedule within the division and a few games outside the division. They will compete more than last year, but not by much. The Browns finish 6-10.
- Alright Steelers fans, I know you will burn me for writing this, but you are already in a hole. With Ben Roethlisber missing the first 4 games of the season, the Steelers will have to claw their way up the standings. The first 4 games are crucial and I feel the Steelers will be facing opponents that will benefit from the absence of Big Ben. In my opinion, I feel the Steelers lose all 4 games to open the season, but at best I say they could go 1-3. With Ben's return, the Steelers will need to pull of a 9-3 record at the least to overcome the bad start, and I do not see that happening. The Steelers are a good team, but the suspension of Roethlisberger will be proving tragic. The Steelers finish 7-9.
