Forecasting the AFC East landscape to the end of November

Forecasting the AFC East landscape to the end of November

Week 9 (11/5 – 11/9)

Patriots (W) vs. Jets (Monday Night Football)
Dolphins (L) vs. Cardinals
Seahawks vs. Bills (L)

The Patriots should be able to secure a bounce back win after a tough stretch of play — that’s the luxury of getting to play the Jets twice in any given year if you’re New England. This needs to be a win, too — the Patriots have the Ravens coming to town in Week 10.

Meanwhile, both Buffalo and Miami have tough draws in Week 9. The Dolphins must go to Arizona, where the Seattle Seahawks just lost at the hands of young QB Kyler Murray. This should be a fun quarterback duel but Murray’s legs could be the big difference. Miami can’t win them all!

Look for the Bills to drop a game to Seattle at home as well. Buffalo has lost some of their early-season luster and Seattle should be re-focused over the next few weeks after a loss in Week 7 to the Cardinals.
