Playing the numbers game:AFC East versus the AFC North and NFC South

[Brees#1]

New England versus the AFC outside divisions(AFC North this year)
08-3-1(loss:at San Diego)
09-2-2(wins:Tennessee, Jacksonville)
10-3-1(loss:at Cleveland)
11-4-0
12-4-0
13...................................................3-1. They lose in a upset at Cincinatti. I already had pats winning the other and three and these numbers support it.

New England versus the NFC divisions(NFC South)
08-4-0
09-3-1
10-4-0
11-3-1
12-1-3
13..................................................3-1. They have never been below 3-1 before last year against a NFC division. This year they bounce back to 3-1 or better. I think they lost at home to saints.

New England within the AFC East
08-4-2
09-4-2
10-5-1
11-5-1
12-6-0
13..............................................4-2. I think they split with two rivals. They sweep jets again but they split with Miami and Buffalo. Going to Buffalo week 1 presents a challenge. Bills at home in opening games have lost by a last minute TD to jags in 04, routed the texans and held them to 3 all game in 05(that texans team would go 2-14), lose on a game winning field goal by Elam of the broncos, routed the seahawks in what would be the first of four downhill years for Seattle in the aftermatch of losing Alexander, lose by 5 to Miami........They are just a bizzare team week 1. And Miami has to finally get a win against them.

The pats are 10-4 pending the swing games and this year I think they lose both to Denver and Houston and wind up 10-6. They still win the division but will represent the 4th seed.

Miami versus the AFC outside divisions(AFC North)
08-4-0
09-1-3(win:at Jacksonville)
10-1-3(win:at Cincinatti)
11-2-2(wins:at Kansas City, Oakland)
12-1-3(win:Jacksonville)
13........................................................1-3. As previously pointed out they get their only win at Cleveland.

Miami versus the NFC divisions
08-3-1(loss:at Arizona)
09-2-2(wins:at Carolina, Tampa Bay)
10-2-2(wins:at Minnesota, at Green Bay)
11-1-3(win:Washington)
12-2-2(wins:Seattle, St.Louis)
13.......................................................2-2. This is where it gets interesting, they will not win both Monday night games against the saints and bucs but I think they win one. I just know my own team's history with Miami and its always tough. I think dolphins beat saints and will beat either the falcons or panthers at home. I will decide on that when I come around to the NFC South.

Miami within the AFC East
08-4-2
09-4-2
10-2-4
11-3-3
12-2-4
13..................................................4-2. This year Miami gets the best of the jets both games and sweep them. They also split with pats and bills.

This takes Miami to 7-7 before the swing games. Miami will beat San Diego and Indianapolis. Miami's final record is 9-7. Miami will take the last wild card.

New York versus the AFC outside divisions(AFC North this year)
08-1-3(win:Kansas City)
09-3-1(loss:Jacksonville)
10-3-1(loss:Baltimore)
11-2-2(wins:Kansas City, San Diego)
12-2-2(wins:at Jacksonville, Indianapolis)
13................................................................2-2 again. They win in Cincinatti in a upset and against the steelers as a result of the recent close games between them.

New York versus the NFC divisions(NFC South)
08-2-2(wins:Arizona, St.Louis)
09-2-2(wins:at Tampa Bay, Carolina)
10-2-2(wins:at Detroit, Minnesota)
11-2-2(wins:at Washington, Dallas)
12-2-2(wins:at St.Louis, Arizona)
13...............................................................2-2 again. Every year jets have had a 2-2 split and won a road and home game last four years. This continues with wins week 1 against bucs and week 15 at Carolina.

New York within the AFC East
08-4-2
09-2-4
10-4-2
11-3-3
12-2-4
13................................................................1-5. Their only division win is against the bills and I'm going to say week 11 in Buffalo. Its not their year.

New York will go 5-9 before the swing games. Their swing games are at Tennessee which the jets I have already losing and at home against Oakland and I have the jets winning that. Taking the jets to 6-10 again.

Buffalo versus the AFC outside divisions(AFC North this year)
08-4-0
09-1-3(win:Indianapolis)
10-2-2(wins:at Cincinatti, Cleveland)
11-3-1(loss:at San Diego)
12-1-3(win:Jacksonville)
13............................................................1-3 again. This is why I think the bills instead of dolphins get the win over the ravens. They have to win somewhere and going to Cleveland on a short week is just asking too much. They have the extra rest against bengals but its not a whole two weeks so I don't think the bills will be that effective.

Buffalo versus the NFC divisions(NFC South)
08-2-2(wins:at St.Louis, Seattle)
09-2-2(wins:at Carolina, Tampa Bay)
10-1-3(wins-Detroit)
11-2-2(wins:Philadelphia, Washington)
12-1-3(win:at Arizona)
13..........................................................Every year its been 1-3 or 2-2 even going back before 08 to 05. That year the bills went 0-4. And with the matchups they have, I see the bills ending up 0-4. I thought there was the slight possibility bills could beat the falcons week 13 because of the bye week and if there's any game they could win its that one but the game is not at Buffalo, its in Toronto and bills players have admitted to hating that place. It also suits the falcons being in a dome.

Buffalo within the AFC East
08-0-6
09-2-4
10-1-5
11-1-5
12-2-4
13.............................................................3-3. For the first time in over a decade the bills will even the series with all three division rivals and beat all three at least once.

This takes the bills to 4-10 before the swing games and their games are against KC and at Jacksonville this year. I think they win both of them and finish 6-10 again for the second straight year. But this time finish third.

New York will go 4-10 before the swing games. Their swing games are at Tennessee which the jets I have already losing and at home against Oakland and I have the jets winning that. Taking the jets to 5-11.

Updated in bold. I couldnt pick this team to upset Cincinatti. Still I'm staying with the panthers upset because I believe Geno will be starting then and he will get Ivory going or Powell whoever is healthy and the starter.

13........................................................1-3. I think they beat the bengals on a short week week 9. They fall short week 1 in Cleveland.

Updated in bold. I decided to change Miami's win from the browns to bengals.
