love the Garrard move by Miami I think he is a good veteran QB and Miami made the right choice picking him up. Buffalo is also stacked with talent and I expect them to give the Jets a run for their money for 2nd place in the division and the potential wild card spot. Patriots just keep improving and even though Brady isn't getting any younger the players around him are getting better. I expect them to win 13-14 games. This is one of the tougher divisions in the league with all 4 teams having the potential to finish over 500.

NE should run away with this division yet again this year.
