2. New England -- 11-5 (3-3 div)
3. Buffalo -- 9-7 (4-2 div)
4. New York -- 5-11 (1-5 div)

On offense, the main advantage the Dolphins have at this time is a better QB. Yet I remember Ryan taking a Jets team with less talent than this Bills team and with Mark Sanchez at QB to two consecutive AFC championship games.
I give the Dolphins offense a small advantage over the Bills offense, but I think Ryan is a better HC than Philbin. Also, the Bills did finish higher than the Dolphins last season in the division and they had a worse QB than Tannehill at that time.
I can see the Dolphins finishing 10-6 and the Bills 9-7, but at this time I just feel the Bills are a little better than the Dolphins. Of course the Dolphins have 16 games to prove me wrong and I hope they do.Ducken likes this. -

I don't think I am dwelling on the bad. I just think I am being realistic in regards to the Dolphins. Heck, I predict they will have their first winning season since 2008 and I believe this is the most talented team they have had in at least a decade. I see a lot of positives in the makeup of this team. But I have felt all along that it was going to take Tannebaum and Hickey at least two drafts TOGETHER to upgrade this team to the level it needs to be before they can challenge the Patriots for the division.
While the Dolphins improved since last season, I think the Bills improved also and if they get just average play from their QB, I still see them as being a little more talented than the Dolphins.
If the Dolphins win one more game than I predict and end up making the playoffs, it certainly won't come as a huge shock to me. Because I already think they can win 9 games. I think 2016 is the year the Dolphins will be ready to be a legitimate threat in the AFC, but I certainly would love to see them become that threat this year. -
But yes, otherwise I think your assessment is fairly realistic, though Vegas does think the Dolphins will win more than the Bills. -

I see the division coming down to week 17, with the Fins and Pats tied. Winner takes the #4 seed in the AFC, loser stays home. Pats only division loss of the year, and we go to the playoffs.
Buffalo has a brutal start to the season, with Indy, the Pats and then us. I see them starting 0-3, and 2-4. Too much of a hole to crawl out of. -

I don't see why people think Buffalo is going to be so good. They have no QB, no Fred Jackson and an idiot for a head coach.
