Broncos are on the list because of strength of schedule since the only cheap win in the AFC West division is the Raiders. The South is strong but it is looked like a mid major since it has "expansion" teams which have not done much until recently. The Pats get favoritism due to East Coast bias while cheap wins over Bills and Dolphins get overlooked. The North is the weakest of the AFC because all of its teams has QB issues, Big Ben was the sleeper pick of the year.
