Excluding some kind of miracle, it’s obvious who the front runners are of this division. The Patriots showed that they are not the same team as the past few seasons. Maye was impressive and Vrabel’s defense showed that it can slow Josh Allen down. I am still leaning heavily towards Buffalo to win it. I think the next 3 games will be very telling for each of these teams.

 

The first 3 for the Patriots should be EASY wins for a contender. If they win those 3, they will show me that can beat the teams they are supposed to beat. That is the first step of becoming an elite team. Once you can defeat the “tomato cans” with regularity, you have to start beating elite teams. The Bills win was a fluke until I see them do it again. Unfortunately, their remaining schedule is probably the easiest in the NFL.

 

The Bills next 3 games scares me a little more. The Falcons are the type of team the Bills typically fail against. The run-heavy, physical kind. Still their QB doesn’t scare me. For the Panthers, Bryce Young has flashes of brilliance once in a blue moon. Facing off against the Chiefs used to be a good gauge on how good your team is. Although, still a major accomplishment if the Bills win. 
 

I posted both remaining schedules. What do you think?

It’s the Bills Division unless they lose games they should win.  Their toughest games are Bucs, Steelers, and Eagles and I’ll throw in the Chiefs even if they just don’t look good when you watch them.. I see at worse they go 2-2 so 14-3. The Pats have 4 tough games too Bucs, Ravens,Bengals, and Bills.. I had those as losses to begin the season.. I see only the bengals as a W now so that is 3 more losses so they would be 12-5.. so ya the Bills division.

The Panthers game is looking a lot tougher than it did in the beginning of the year. Bryce Young looks legit
