AFC Division Winners

A rundown of all the divisions and my predictions for who will end up winning them.

AFC East- Patriots
Easy one to start with. Only team in the division that seems to be getting better every week and already had the best team to start the season. Miami has had a nice season, but they just win the games they are suppose to and after last year they are not sneaking up on anyone. Jets have been exposed for what they are, a team with a quarterback that is a few years away.....as you can tell by the drop off of coverage for the team so people don't begin to think he is awful.

AFC West- Chargers
Interesting division as the gap between the teams start closing. In first meeting Eddie Royal returned 2 kicks for touchdowns, which I am assuming will not happen again. Couple that with Kyle Orton crashing down to earth resulting in losses and an injury I see these teams regardless of what happens Sunday moving in opposite directions. Luckily for both teams their wild card chances are good due to the 4 free wins against the rest of the division.

AFC North- Steelers
Cincinnati is definitely a legitimate team, but I do not think we have seen how good the Steelers are going to be. Only one game back (kinda 2 with tiebreaker) I see them making a run and catching the Bengals. Both teams go to playoffs though. Another team that will pick it up as the season progresses is Baltimore who will be the best team not in the playoffs this season, but having to play Pittsburgh twice still does not bode well for the Ravens. The Browns are bad.

AFC South- Indianapolis
Big surprise here. Much better than anyone else in the division, Houston is worse than what people think and the Titans are better but will not matter at all. Whole season kinda turned into a warm-up for the Colts as soon as the Titans tanked early in the year.
