Note: This is a pre-draft analysis on the teams and predictions based on the new schedule release. Moshe Football understands that some of the teams records may seem too high or too low. This is due to the type of quick predictions. Moshe Football will also have after draft predictions, and post pre-season predictions (the main one that will be deeper analyzed and the one Moshe Football will stand by). So if you have any beef, save it for the later predictions.
AFC EAST
y-New England Patriots 14-2 (The two seed)
x-Miami Dolphins 8-8 (The five seed)
New York Jets 5-11
Buffalo Bills 3-13
Z= Conference Champs, Y=Division Champs, X=Playoff Spot
NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
Who else would win this division? Year in and year out the Pats dominate the AFC East and are Moshe Football's early prediction to represent the AFC in the Superbowl. Tom Brady did the ultimate justice this year by taking less money than he deserves thus guaranteeing the Pats dominance for years to come. However, one move this off season will really be in question. The choice to not resign Wes Welker for Danny Amendola makes very little sense. Yes, Amendola is younger but Welker has very good chemistry with Brady. With Amendola injury prone and allowing Welker to go to possibly the best team in the AFC will be something to watch for. However, the truth is, if Gronkowski is healthy then this Welker situation may
be a non-story. The Patriots schedule does not only seem doable for them but seems easy.
NOTABLE WIN: Week 12 vs Denver Broncos - A team they will meet in the AFC Championship game.
NOTABLE LOSS: Week 4 at Atlanta Falcons - A team they will meet in the Superbowl.
MIAMI DOLPHINS
Don't be surprised if a Dream Team 2.0 situation comes about in Miami. That being said, Moshe Football predicts Miami to make the playoffs (and probably win more that eight games). Mike Wallace and Dustin Keller are good additions for Tannehill and Hartline to make the offense a threat. With an already decent defense this team can make some big upsets. Losing Jake Long will only benefit the team as he did not fit in the new offensive line zone scheme the Dolphins started using last season.
NOTABLE WIN: Week 4 vs Baltimore Ravens - Beating the NFL Champs will be the first step to legitimacy.
NOTABLE LOSS: Week 2 at Indianapolis Colts - The Colts and Dolphins will be fighting it out this season for a wildcard spot.
NEW YORK JETS
This team has become a joke starting with the Mark Sanchez/Tim Tebow experiment. Just a few years removed from back to back AFC Championship appearances, this team's future is unpredictable. Will the Revis' situation be settled? And is Rex Ryan on the hot seat? However, let's remember this, every so often Rex can be hell of a coach.
NOTABLE WIN: Week 13 vs Miami Dolphins - Beating the Dolphins can hurt Miami's chances for a playoff appearance late in the season.
NOTABLE LOSS: Week 2 at New England Patriots - An early division loss can put Rex Ryan is quite a tough spot.
BUFFALO BILLS
The release of Ryan Fitzpatrick was quite a shock considering he was a pretty good QB, but the relief on the Bill's salary cap is most welcomed. Kevin Kolb joined the Bills to win a Superbowl but let's be real. He would of taken any offer for a starting job. His health will be a concern, especially with the lack of weapons around him.
NOTABLE WIN: Week 15 at Jacksonville Jaguars - This could be a game for a better draft pick.
NOTABLE LOSS: Week 9 vs Kansas City Chiefs - This may also be a draft pick game.
