The Buffalo Bills are by far the biggest threat to the Patriots’ complete domination of the AFC East. They will be good, but if Josh Allen doesn’t have any growth this year, it isn’t like a new dynasty in the AFC is on tap. The Jets still have a lot of holes. The Dolphins are making some interesting signings and pressing the fast forward button on their rebuild, but they are still a few years away. Currently, the Bills and Patriots are both even money to win the AFC East.
