00:00AFC East, and I got to tell you, before the season started, I thought it was going to

00:06be very top heavy, and it's really not because we're getting some underwhelming performances

00:12out of those teams.

00:13I thought that we'd be doing a lot of damage.

00:15One thing we do know, the Patriots coming into the season, Dubs, we expect them to be

00:18bad.

00:19They're sitting at one in four, you know, long, long odds to maybe win the division,

00:24which is plus 1260, then to win the AFC at 55 to one price.

00:27But let's take a look at the teams that matter here.

00:29It's the Bills, the Jets, and the Dolphins.

00:31And I didn't think at this point in the season, we'd be looking at the Buffalo Bills at three

00:34and two, say, okay, that's maybe where they would be if they caught a few bad breaks.

00:39They open up three and three and oh, they lose their next two games.

00:42You take a look at the New York Jets.

00:43I didn't think they would be under 500 after five games, the Miami Dolphins under 500 after

00:49five games.

00:50There's a lot to assess here now, but if we're looking at the three teams that we think have

00:53a chance, that would be the Bills, Jets, and the Dolphins.

00:57Who are you feeling most comfortable with right now in the AFC East?

01:01It's gotta be the Bills, Donnie.

01:02I mean, three wins, a really good chance of making it four there.

01:05It was a tough beat going against the Texans.

01:08The only poor performance and a bit of an outlier was that Sunday night football game

01:12in week four going against the Baltimore Ravens, where King Henry, Lamar Jackson absolutely

01:17went berserker.

01:18And that's one of the best one-two punches in the NFL.

01:21I think that was a bit of a wake-up call for Buffalo and the Bills.

01:24I think Josh Allen is probably trying to save himself a little.

01:27We know he can get it downfield.

01:29We know he can put that team on his shoulders, and a couple of those weapons starting to

01:32look a little better there on the offensive side.

01:34So for me, it's the Buffalo Bills up top of the divvy.

01:37They've got a really good chance to make that margin two wins with Monday night football

01:41squaring off against the Jets.

01:43I don't like what I've seen from Rodgers, the Jets.

01:45I don't think this is great news about the head coach, Robert Sala, getting the ax.

01:49The Dolphins are plus 600.

01:51It's tough trying to buy in on the Dolphins from what we have seen, but if you're looking

01:55for a team that's certainly a bit of a buy-low spot that could turn it around if Tua could

01:59come back into the mix, but it'd be really tough trying to place a way to it, Tony, because

02:03we just don't have a timeline or a known there.

02:06Snoop Huntley is not going to get this team back to the top of the division.

02:09So I do think the AFC East right now, season long, will be running through the Buffalo

02:15Bills.
