1. New England Patriots
Even with Tom Brady out the first 4 games, winning 12 games still seems doable for them.
2. New York Jets
Bringing in Matt Forte means the Jets offense have another weapon in the passing attack.
3. Buffalo Bills
Tyrod Taylor is being paid like a franchise QB, but is there enough around him to get Buffalo into the playoffs?
4. Miami Dolphins
Adam Gase has been hired to turn around this once proud franchise’s fortunes.
