TheFatherLife.com:The AFC East Is Up For Grabs


The AFC East is up for grabs. That’s right, at the time I write this, we are three games into the season and there is no clear cut favorite. The Bills are 3-0 and have scored the third most points in the AFC while not allowing a 100 yard rusher, but they have been known to get their fans hopes up only to bash them away with inconsistency.

The New York Giants beat the previously undefeated Patriots 17-14 in Super Bowl XLII last February. The pats lost in their bid to go 19-0 and tie the 1972 Dolphins. That ’72 Miami team remains the only undefeated team in NFL history. The Patriots are still the Patriots though, and with Tom Brady at the helm, they are still the odds on favorite to win Super Bowl XLIII...
