Buffalo Bills | -155 |
Miami Dolphins | +130 |
The reign for the New England Patriots over the AFC East appears to be officially over.
The Patriots find themselves at the bottom of odds to win the AFC East for the first time in decades.
The Patriots are +800 to win the AFC East at DraftKings.
The favorite in the East is once again the Buffalo Bills at +120. The Bills are one of the favorites to win the Super Bowl and are led by one of the favorites to win NFL MVP.
There are still some doubters, however, as the Bills are expected to play in a very difficult division.
There might not be another team in the NFL with more hype surrounding them than the New York Jets. A lot of that has to do with the acquisition of future Hall-of-Famer Aaron Rodgers. The Jets are the second favorite to win the AFC East at +270 odds.
The Miami Dolphins are still lingering. The Dolphins scraped into the playoffs last season and appear to be on the raise under head coach Mike McDaniel. If he stays healthy, they could have a chance to win the division at +300 odds.

Buffalo Bills
When you think Buffalo Bills, you think of those early 90s teams that made four straight Super Bowls...and lost four straight Super Bowls. Jim Kelly and the Bills couldn't finish off any of those opportunities and it's hurt them ever since. While they made it to the playoffs nearly every season after that in the 90s, once the new millennium rolled around, the franchise crumbled -- the Bills missed the playoffs from 1999-2017, a stunning draught. But things are turning for Buffalo with the emergence of franchise quarterback Josh Allen, whose led the Bills to back-to-back division titles and some stellar playoff performances. It seems like it's only a matter of time before these new look Bills make it back to the Big Game -- and maybe finally get the job done.

Miami Dolphins
The Dolphins were a powerhouse in the NFL during the Don Shula era of the 1970s and 80s, making five Super Bowls and winning two -- including the 1972 team that went a perfect 17-0 and remains the only group ever to go undefeated in a season. Since then, however, Miami has sporadically been relevant in the AFC. Though they made the playoffs in all but two years during the 90s, they've made the playoffs just four times since 2000 and haven't been back to a Super Bowl since 1984. The Dolphins are hoping Tua Tagovailoa is the guy to bring this team back to the promised land.

New England Patriots
The New England Patriots. The cream of the crop during the 2000s and 2010s. Tom Brady, Bill Belichick & Co. won a whopping six Super Bowls from 2001-2018 and made another three appearances as well. Dominating the AFC wasn't always in their blood, with just two conference championships to their name before the Brady/Belichick era. Since then, Foxboro has been the home to many playoff games and wins for New England. But that era ended with Brady's departure in 2020. While Belichick is still in the fold, we'll have to wait and see if they can return to the fully formed empire they were for nearly two decades.

New York Jets
Gang Green did most of their damage on the league back when they were in the AFL, winning Super Bowl III thanks to Broadway Joe Namath & Co. Since then, the Jets have just two division titles to their name and a handful of playoff appearances that haven't amounted to much. Back-to-back AFC Championship berths from 2009-10 during the first two years of the Rex Ryan-Mark Sanchez combination in New York got our attention for a bit...but so did the "butt fumble." The Jets have been searching for the right head coach-quarterback combo ever since. Could Robert Saleh and Aaron Rodgers finally be the answer to turning things around in the Big Apple?
