AFC East backstretch favors Bills and Dolphins
Miami does not face another division leader the rest of the season with the exception of the three teams ahead of them in the division. Buffalo has just one other division leader on their schedule in the 4-4 Denver Broncos.
Buffalo’s only negative is its 0-2 division record, but they’re one of only two teams in the AFC East with four division games left to play. New England (1-1) is the other.
Miami and New York have the best division marks thus far with 2-1 records with three division games remaining.
So in summation Buffalo looks to have a very advantageous situation. They’re tied for the best overall record in the division (5-3), they have the second easiest remaining schedule and the fewest air miles left to travel.
Miami also looks to be in good position. Despite being a game back of their division rivals, they have the easiest remaining schedule, the second fewest air miles left to travel and are tied for the best division record (2-1).
Ultimately, it could all come down to Week 17 if the second half of the season runs similar to the way the first half has gone in the division with all four teams going head-to-head.
