AFC East Betting Overview

The race to win the AFC East in 2025 seems to be heavily tilted in favor of the Buffalo Bills, according to ESPN BET. With odds at -350, the Bills are the clear favorites to take the division. The New England Patriots, despite a disappointing 4-13 record last season, are second at +550, followed by the Miami Dolphins (+900) and the New York Jets (+1800).

Team Analysis

Buffalo Bills The Bills are coming off a strong 13-win season, but there are concerns about sustainability. Pamela Maldonado points out that their historic turnover luck and offensive health are likely to regress. The defense, while opportunistic, allowed too many red zone trips and forced few punts. With a tough late-season schedule, including games against the Dolphins, Bengals, Patriots, and Eagles, the Bills might struggle to replicate last year's success.

New York Jets The Jets, despite a fifth regime change in 10 years, are expected to improve slightly. Liz Loza notes that while the offense has looked one-dimensional in preseason, the schedule eases up in October. With matchups against the Cowboys and Panthers, the Jets could surpass their 5.5 win total.

New England Patriots Matt Bowen is optimistic about the Patriots, citing significant offseason upgrades. New coach Mike Vrabel and offensive playcaller Josh McDaniels are expected to boost the development of quarterback Drake Maye. Key additions like Stefon Diggs and Carlton Davis could help the Patriots surpass the 8.5 win mark.

Best Bets

• Bills UNDER 12.5 wins (-190, alt spread): Given the expected regression and tough schedule, this seems like a safe bet.
• Jets OVER 5.5 wins (-140): A softer schedule could help the Jets improve slightly.
• Patriots OVER 8.5 wins (Even): With significant upgrades, the Patriots could have a winning season.
