The NFL season is approaching quickly, and with that, EZB will be providing previews of each division in the league. Up today: the AFC East.

New England Patriots

Why They Might Win the Division
Where you watching last season?

Why They Might Not Win the Division
Only an injury to Tom Brady would hinder them.

New York Jets

Why They Might Win the Division
They completely reloaded, bringing in Calvin Pace, Alan Faneca, Damien Woody and others to try and turn things around. They should have a much better pass rush this season, especially with rookie Vernon Gholston.

Why They Might Not Win the Division
It's not often the case in football where signing numerous free agents results in sudden turnarounds. And they need to choose between noodle-armed Chad Pennington or Kellen Clemens at QB.

Buffalo Bills

Why They Might Win the Division
Trent Edwards is developing at QB, they finally have a complement to Lee Evans at WR by drafting James Hardy, and they have the makings of a very good young defense.

Why They Might Not Win the Division
They are still maturing as a team, and with so many key pieces still in the early stages of their careers, it may take them a while to realize their potential.

Miami Dolphins

Why They Might Win the Division
Even the most optimistic of Dolphins fans realize this is an impossibility.

Why They Might Not Win the Division
They won a single game last season, and it's difficult to find spots where they improved a great deal. Jake Long will certainly help the offensive line, but they traded away their best player in jason taylor, and don't have an established QB.
