Agree. Lions and maybe the Cardinals have turned out better. But at the same time, the AFC as a whole is worse than I expected and that's who we have to beat to get to the Super Bowl.
In my opinion, and I'm probably oversimplifying it, as long as the Bills stay generally healthy, they are the favorites in the AFC. We can probably even withstand an injury or two as long as it's not to Allen. But I think even last year we were the 2nd best team in the AFC and that was with 6 injuries to defensive starters.
