Hank Gola of the New York Daily News previews the AFC East:
2010 NFL Preview: New York Jets must fend off Patriots and Dolphins if they want to rule AFC East
Gola thinks Brady is the best player in the division and Belichick the best coach, while saying "don't be surprised if the Dolphins end up stealing the division from under the Patriots' and Jets' noses."

STORYLINE: If the Jets weren't the chic pick to get to the Super Bowl before, they were after "Hard Knocks." But are they a bit overhyped, especially with a so-far sputtering Mark Sanchez-led offense? The Patriots have plenty of internal issues and what could be an unhappy locker room but they do know how to win. The Dolphins, meanwhile, are lying in the weeds and the Bills, hopeful under new coach Chan Gailey, are simply trying to get up.
X-FACTOR: The Jets defense is good enough to get them back into the playoffs. It will be up to Mark Sanchez to get them any further. Sanchez had a fine postseason but the wraps were still on him. At some point, the Jets are going to have to expand the offense and Sanchez is going to have to play like a first-rounder. He didn't look like one in the preseason.
Projected 2010 Finish
- JETS: 10-6
- Dolphins: 9-7
- Patriots: 9-7
- Bills: 3-13
