With most of the top free agents finding new teams or re-signing with their former ones, the rosters are more or less set for the upcoming NFL season, with the exception of the 2026 NFL draft. <\/p>

Of course, there is still a possibility for trades as well, but we now have a better understanding of what the makeup of the teams will look like. With that in mind, in this article, we will take a look at the early odds for the AFC East division winners. <\/p>

2025-26 AFC East Recap<\/h2>

Before we jump into the odds for the upcoming season, here is a quick recap of how the AFC East teams fared in the 2025-26 season for a general context. <\/p>

After ruling the division for five years in a row, the Buffalo Bills were finally dethroned by the New England Patriots last season. The Patriots (14-3) went on to reach the Super Bowl, eventually losing to the Seahawks. However, their season stood out for multiple reasons, including the first season for Mike Vrabel as the new head coach.<\/p>

The Bills, on the other hand, regressed even though they made the playoffs with a (12-5) record. Despite many feeling it was the best chance for Josh Allen to finally lift the Lombardi Trophy, Buffalo crashed out in the Divisional round, losing to the Broncos.   <\/p>

As for the Miami Dolphins and the New York Jets, both franchises had seasons to forget for different reasons. Miami finished with a (7-10) record, whereas the Jets could only manage a (3-14) record. <\/p>
