Predict the standings, and either keep the current rosters in mind or if the team will do any good things in the off-season.
1 - NYJ - HOMER PICK ALERT. But with a stable QB, the WRs and RB (curtis martin or other) will play better. And the defense is always good.2 - MIA - They are a very good team and will eb the class of the division in like 2 year3 - NE - getting too old, will still be dangerous at the end of the year4 - Buf - going int he wrong direction, the fan base was dissappointed in the coaching change, and they are in trouble as the defense regressed
I cant rank them yet, its too soon to tell IMO. When Free Agency and the Draft are over, then ill tell you what I think.
<span style="font-family:Arial">Any sudden moves made by any teams could drastically change my opinion, but for now..New England PatriotsMiami DolphinsNew York JetsBuffalo Bills</span>
How do you guys feel teh division will be next year. I say the jets dont make any run but Miami and New England are in teh major run for first but the bills easily make a tough game and major division game. I think the bills could be in the run if they have a great draft or a great FA year. I dont kno about there cap though. What do you guys think.
I think Miami should have a fairly successful season. I think they'll get over the hump, and at least make the playoffs.

Dolphins have no QB and old Defense, I cant imagine them being serious players, although they will probably be like 9-7 again or so. Patriots are the Patriots, they will be competitive.Bills and Jets are probably in for a rebuilding year.My early guess.1) Pats2) Phins3) Jets4) Bills

Miami does have an old defense but one still semi affective and we can still draft and look in free agency. there is alos no way they stay wiht frerotte. They will pick up atleast a good gb maybe not very good or great but good.
The Free Agency market isnt much brighter (Unless you consider someone like Jon Kitna a better option) and theres no QB you can draft who will be capable of starting Day 1.Your best bet is trading for someone like Matt Schaub, who can be had for a second round pick, or sit there and pray that Carr becomes available and by some stroke of luck they have interest in Ricky.Either way, your QB situation isnt going to look too much brighter next year.PS: We already have this topic, so *merged*
Too soon to tell, but right now, the winner will be the Phins. They were a great team last year and the only place to go is up.

Just seen this topic, and I love how most of you guys are picking the Dolphins to win the divison. Who's there QB? And did you see the Pats schedule they should win the divison, money in the bank.
I think the Dolphins will win too. They can pick a QB out of free agency, or draft Cutler/Jacobs or something.

Are the schedules finalized yet?
