One of the easiest divisions for NFL betting, is finally becoming more difficult, as the 2010 edition of the AFC East appears to be the toughest division for betting online. Naturally the greatest odds to win the division are with the New England Patriots, however the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins each are making strong pushes for claiming the division title.
While the three teams above look to battle it out for AFC East title, the fourth team in the division the Buffalo Bills, appear to still be a few years away from contending. The Bills led by quarterbacks Trent Edwards, and Ryan Fitzpatrick, have been the laughing stock of the division ever since Drew Bledsoe left the team in 2003. Since then they have gone through numerous head coaches, players and many highs and lows. Although slated for last in the division in 2010, the Bills have always had one of the top five defense’s in the league. The trouble is their offence, as Bledsoe was the last competent quarterback the team had. This past draft, many fans and experts alike figured, the team would draft a quarterback and have him learn on the job. Instead they did not take a quarterback until the seventh round of the draft.
Another plus besides the defense for the Bills is the team’s run game as alongside Marshawn Lynch, the team has drafted the quickest running back since Adrian Peterson, CJ Spiller. Spiller was coveted by many, and if he can live up to his potential, the Bills will look fantastic at the run position for years to come.
For the Patriots to remain as the top dog in the AFC East, they will need star quarterback Tom Brady to return to MVP form, as last year, he looked rather timid while trying to recover from the injured knee two years ago. Further Wes Welker returning off of knee surgery, will hopefully be able to make a strong impact.
